shazam

Shazam captures a short audio sample, converts it into a unique acoustic fingerprint, and compares it against a massive cloud-based database. Using advanced AI and audio matching algorithms, it can usually identify a track within seconds, even in noisy environments.

Yes, Shazam is free to download and use. You can identify songs, view lyrics, browse charts, and connect to streaming services at no cost. Some partner platforms or services you connect to may have their own subscription fees.

If you are offline, Shazam can still capture and save an audio fingerprint. Once your device is back online, it automatically sends the fingerprint to the server and tries to match the song, updating your history with the result.

Shazam integrates with major streaming platforms, allowing you to open identified tracks directly in apps like Apple Music, Spotify, and others where available. You can add songs to playlists or listen to full versions with the services you already use.

Shazam collects limited information such as audio fingerprints, device details, and usage data to provide accurate recognition and improve the service. The app does not store raw audio and follows strict privacy policies; you can review and manage permissions in your device settings.
