Shazam: Identify Songs 12+

I downloaded this app so i can know every song playing at almost any time. With the new app, you have to manually click it and it only shazams the current song. Much preferred when it listened to every song it could catch. Love the redesign, but consider going back to autoshazam please.

Shazam, supposedly an Apple-friendly app, can fail to request microphone access and is consequently useless, as it's not possible in the Mac OS to manually add to the System Preferences. The problem? Not only does the icon get hidden behind the notch on the new MBP laptops if you've more than even a small number of add-ons here, but when you attempt to open the app, it fails to request microphone access. And the system-level scaling feature to workaround the notch doesn't seem to work. Not sure if this is more for the developer or for Apple to deal with but it is highly problematic. What you have to do is close out of everything else with menubar items to bring the Shazam icon into the picture, and then click on it, and only then will it even request microphone access in System Preferences. Simply bizarre.

Shazam is a great service but it would be much easier to use on a desktop system if it could listen to songs being played by other software on the same system, as it can do in iOS on the iPhone. The need for a microphone and speakers to shazam a track being played on the same system is too much of a requirment for use. Please let us shazam music played by any source on the system, like the iPhone.
