What it does
Shazam identifies music and helps save, share and investigate the resulting songs.
Identify the recording first, then use the lyrics, artist information or concert links to investigate it. The guide covers Apple and Android routes, including web recognition and other Apple devices. Playing a complete recording after recognition depends on the destination music service and its subscription or regional rights.
