Apple turned to country music legend Dolly Parton, Squarespace and the Super Bowl to promote Shazam and a new deal on Cupertino’s streaming music service. You can use Shazam when listening to. To use this new feature, you'll need to point your device's camera lens at any photo or product that features the Shazam logo. At this moment, we were not able to actually find Shazamable objects. Shazam is a phone app that uses song recognition technology to detect and recognise a song that is playing remotely. Say you hear a song playing on radio or TV that you enjoyed, but don’t know the artist or song title. You can open the Shazam app, tap, and hold your phone close to the radio for about 10 seconds.

Music is one of the best things that makes our mind refreshed within moments. Sometimes, we love the music based on the beats, lyrics, etc. There are many people, who often fall in love with music by hearing the beats. Many times, we listen to a song on YouTube or any other website and cannot recognize the name of that song. For example, you are listening to an unknown language song, but you want to know the name of that song so that you can find the artist or do something else. Shazam is such an awesome app that allows users to recognize song within seconds. You do not even have to name the lyrics or something else to identify any music with the help of this tool.

Use Shazam to Recognize Song

Shazam is such a service that assists users to identify any song. Shazam app is available for Windows Phone, Android as well as iOS. This app is super easy to use, and you do not have to pay any price to download it to your mobile. If you have Android mobile, make sure it is running Android 2.3 and later version. On the other hand, if you have iOS, you should use iOS 8.0 or later version.

The user interface of Shazam is simply awesome, and there is no need to create an account to get it done. Shazam will let you recognize the song, artist, album/movie name, related video, etc. This is also possible to share the music at the same time. Not all songs, but you can play it within Shazam as well.

The following trick is based on the Android version of Shazam. However, if you use iOS or any other version of this app, you can follow the same steps to get it done.

At first, download Shazam in your mobile and open the same. You should get a screen something like this,

Now, play the music that you want to identify. On the other hand, touch the Shazam logo visible on the app. It would take few moments and show you the result,

At the same time, there is another option called Auto recognizing. It will let you recognize any song automatically. If you turn it on, Shazam will keep remembering the song whenever it hears anything around you.

For your information, Shazam requires an internet connection to do all the jobs. Otherwise, it won’t be able to recognize any song and show you the video related to that song. In case, if you want to save all the recognized music inside the app, just create an account.

Also, you can search for any song like Google. Not only song, but also you can search for an artist using this app.

Richard Sands is the publisher of The Sands Report, a weekly email newsletter for alternative rock radio programmers. Last week, Richard published a fantastic interview with Matt Bailey, the President of Intregr8 Research, a wholly-owned division of Coleman Insights, about how radio programmers should use Shazam data. The interview contained insights that are applicable to more than just alternative stations, so with Richard's permission, I am publishing a modified version of it here. -Seth

Matt, tell us about yourself. Do you have a background in radio?

One night when I was three, my dad brought me home a black transistor radio. I tuned to 79/WQXI-Atlanta during AM Top 40’s last glory days. I was hooked. I’d later get the thrill of working with those same ‘QXI legends at Cox Radio Atlanta. So yeah, I’m a life-long radio geek!

What is Integr8 Research…and how long have you been there?

Integr8 Research helps stations pick the right new music. It’s all we do. I joined in 2009, when Coleman Insights acquired the old Core Call Out with the mission of transforming it for the 21st century. Three years later, we launched Integr8 New Music Research.

What’s your take on Shazam's value for radio?

Shazam has tremendous value in helping radio detect which new songs spark listener intrigue. In a study we conducted in 2016, we found that 73 percent of songs that became Top 10 most Shazamed songs also went on to become Top 10 Hits on the Billboard Hot 100. For 33 percent of those songs, Shazam spotted the hits at least three weeks in advance.

Is there a certain way that Program Directors should look at Shazam that would be most helpful?

Remember why someone Shazams a song: They’re hearing a song that 1) someone else played, and 2) they want to know the artist or title. If a song or its singer is easily recognizable, listeners don’t need to Shazam it.

So that’s why Shazam doesn’t predict many mainstream Pop songs?

Yes. You already recognize Taylor Swift. If listeners stream a song, they won’t Shazam it, because either they already knew the artist title, or that info is already on their screen. That’s why Hip Hop streaming hits don’t get Shazamed. Finally, when you see a song’s Shazams dropping, it doesn’t mean listeners don’t like the song anymore. It usually means they’re now familiar with it. With those caveats, the #1 place listeners hear songs they Shazam is on the radio.

There’s more than just Shazam. What about streaming metrics—can radio programmers confidently use these numbers to augment their programming decisions?

Absolutely! As with Shazam, it’s imperative to know what streaming tells you—and what it doesn’t: Streaming stats tell you the number of times a song played. It does not tell you how many different people streamed a song or how often each user streamed it. A song that ten users stream one time is the same as a song one user streams ten times. That’s how “Baby Shark” became a hit. (Thanks, toddlers). It’s like having AQH share, but not knowing your Cume or TSL.

Use Shazam On Laptop

What does your research show you on the subject of streaming?

In a Spotify deep-dive we conducted in 2019, we found listeners use Spotify much like they used Tower Records 25 years ago. When your favorite artist drops a new project, you rush to Spotify to sample it. At first, most of the tracks in the new album will dominate Spotify’s Top 10 most streamed songs. Over time, however, listeners settle on one or two songs that they want to hear repeatedly for weeks—and those songs are the ones that become radio hits. So when looking for hits on streaming, don’t simply look at what’s big this week: Look for songs that are big week after week.

What about Alternative Rock in particular?

For Alternative, the biggest hits aren’t likely to dominate the most-streamed songs the way Hip Hop songs does, plus many tend to build over time just as they do in radio. When using streaming, look for songs that listeners consistently stream week after week. Those titles are your hits.

Good advice. Anything else?

Streaming doesn’t tell you how many people hate a song—because if you hate a song, you simply don’t play it. In radio, haters matter—because they tune out.

What about digital sales? When I first started in San Francisco, sales helped determine what songs got added to the playlist!

It depends. In some formats such as Country, enough listeners still want to own music, so knowing which songs people pay to keep forever is valuable data. For other genres such as Hip Hop, streaming has already usurped sales. Alternative lies somewhere in the middle.

Are there any other metrics we should pay attention to?

Use Shazam On Computer

MScore doesn’t get PR these days, but stations still use it and it has the opposite limitation of streaming: MScore may tell you which songs cause people to tune away from your station, but it tells you nothing about which songs listeners tuned in to hear in the first place. So use it, especially for highly familiar titles, but remember: Avoiding tune out is of no use unless you first generate tune in.

This has been great, Matt. Thanks!
