Identify Songs, Live Shows

View

You know Shazam. You’ve probably had it on your phone for ages. If you haven’t used it recently, then let us remind you: it’s the clever app that helps you out when you hear a song and can’t for the life of you remember who sings it.

“Just Shazam it”, someone will no doubt have said to you. Yes, that’s right, Shazam is so popular that “to Shazam” something has become a verb meaning: “to tap the Shazam app and let it listen to the music playing”. It will scan the music and tell you the song and the artist. Wonderful.

Bet you didn’t know, though, that based on the songs you Shazam and on the genres of music you tell the app that you enjoy, it will create playlists for you. Link it with Apple Music and you can listen to new releases, recommendations, track collections and videos based on your music taste. And if you don’t fancy any of them, check back tomorrow for more, because your Discover tab is updated daily.
