Shazam app is updated with a new ability to find more songs by playing the track longer. Apple acquired Shazam in 2018 for $400 million and the app’s audio-recognition technology has enabled the Cupertino tech giant to introduce DJ mixes on Apple Music.
Music streaming services avoid adding DJ mixes to their songs library because they use songs from various artists to create mixes which raise copyright infringement issues on platforms like Twitch and YouTube. Apple Music is working with labels to fairly divide royalties amongst DJs, artists, labels, and others part of the mixes.
Play the audio longer for the Shazam app to find more songs
Integrated into the iPhone’s Control Center, Apple says that the audio-recognition technology of the Shazam app has been used to discover over a billion songs. Now, that capability is improved in the new update. The release note reads:
Shazam now finds more songs by trying harder, for longer. Tap to Shazam to give it a go!
