Shazam

Shazam is a super handy app for your Mac that helps you identify songs playing around you. It runs quietly in the background, so you won’t even notice it’s there until you need it!

How Does Shazam Work?

So, here’s how it goes: Shazam uses your Mac’s built-in microphone to grab a quick sample of the music that’s playing. Once it gets that little snippet, it creates an acoustic fingerprint. This fingerprint is then matched against a huge database to find out what song it is.

Find Out Song Details Easily

If you're ever curious about the artist or title of a track, Shazam has got you covered! With just a click, you can see all the details like who sings it and which album it's from. Pretty neat, right?

Get Extra Info and Links

But wait, there's more! Shazam doesn’t just stop at identifying songs. It also gives you links to services like iTunes, where you can buy the song or find more info about the artist. And if you're interested in listening to other tracks from the same album? You can preview them right on Shazam’s discover page!

Notifications Made Easy

If a match is found while you're working or chilling at home, Shazam sends a notification through macOS’ Notification Center with all the details — like the song name and artist — so you won’t miss a beat.

Your Personal Playlist

All those cool tracks that Shazam identifies get added to your playlist. You can check them out anytime from the status bar menu in Shazam. Plus, you'll have access to lyrics and even music videos! And if buying songs on iTunes is your thing, those links are right there too.

Customize Your Experience

You can make sure Shazam starts up automatically every time you log in by tweaking some options in its sub-menu. This way, it’s always ready when you want to discover new music!
