Shazam

The developers of the Shazam service, launching it in 1999, had no idea how successful their platform would be over time – at the moment, the cross-platform product is able to provide users with data on more than 11,000,000 tracks, and its monthly audience is more than one hundred million people. The service’s closest competitor is SoundHound, but it still cannot repeat the success of its older brother.

The questions of searching and recognizing performers, as well as musical compositions, began to arise before users for a long time – an inadvertently heard song on television, radio, in a nightclub or in a movie often remained unidentified, because not everyone has a phenomenal memory and knows everything and always. So the opportunity to find the melody you liked in other sources was lost – it’s hard to look for something you don’t know the name of!

However, with the release of the Shazam tool, such problems and “pangs of conscience” can already be forgotten forever – both hit and little-known musical compositions are quickly and without problems calculated from the base laid down in the product, and the torments of the unknown are replaced by the most complete and accurate information. about the piece of music. There is only one caveat – while the melody is playing, the background noise should not be too loud.

The program Shazam works according to a simple algorithm – when you hear music, but without knowing either the artist or the name, make sure that the Internet connection is active, then click the special search icon and watch the result in a second. An excerpt of a composition is instantly compared with a huge database of the service, and the user is given the most complete information about a particular track, as well as an offer to buy a composition or listen to it through several specialized sites of the user’s choice. And in addition, if there is an official video, then you can also watch it by automatically going to YouTube. You can also share the found melody with friends via Viber, send SMS, email or use Bluetooth.

The latest updates have expanded the capabilities of Shazam even more – now there is no need to constantly tap on the button in the program, using automatic search (long press on the icon), you can put your smartphone in your pocket and go about your business, and at the end of the day see what the utility has managed “catch”. You should install Shazam on an Android device, firstly, to search for a melody you accidentally heard, and secondly, for the sake of other equally useful functions – from watching videos to posting posts on social networks.
