I then told them to just download the app and they were pretty amazed that apps like this exist. I just recently used it to figure out what song is playing in the new iPad commercial after a few people asked me about it, everyone is always amazed that I can quickly come up with an answer.
Shazam app how to#
Honestly I thought everyone knew what Shazam was by now, it’s been featured in iPhone commercials and has been in the App Store top downloads for a long time.ĭespite it’s ubiquitous promotion and popularity, I still have people asking me frequently how to find out what music is playing. I figured the days of wondering hopelessly what that catchy song playing is were largely over due to this app.

Update: The iPhone and iPad can now do this natively without any third party apps! All you need to do is find what music is playing by using Siri in iOS! Siri is available on the Mac too for the same capability… no third party apps are required any longer to find out what songs are playing! Nonetheless, Shazam can still identify songs too, and if you’re on an older device without Siri support then you can continue to use Shazam to identify what music is playing. Once a song is identified, Shazam will provide links to buy it via iTunes or watch the related music video from YouTube. It works flawlessly in loud bars, clubs, restaurants, stores, cars, just about anywhere music is playing, it handles background noise remarkably well and is nearly always able to identify music. The app first came to the iPhone some time ago and has made it easier than ever to discover what song is playing regardless of where you are.


Do you want to know what song is playing? Don’t be left wondering, you can find out for sure thanks to an awesome app called Shazam.
