Apple's Shazam Music Recognition Now Available in ChatGPT

[MacRumors]

ChatGPT is now able to identify songs that are playing using Apple-owned music service Shazam. With a new Shazam integration, ChatGPT users can type in a question like "Shazam, what is this song?" to bring up a "Tap to Shazam" interface to get the title of a song.

Shazam's full music recognition technology is available in ChatGPT, so users won't need to exit out of the app to identify a song and listen to an inline preview. Using Shazam in ChatGPT works the same way as Shazam on an Apple device.

Shazam can be added to ChatGPT by opening up the ChatGPT settings, navigating to apps, and searching for Shazam. After installation, Shazam can be invoked by starting a request with "Shazam."

Using Shazam in ChatGPT does not require the Shazam app to be installed, and the song recognition functionality can be used on any platform. With the Shazam app installed, songs identified using ChatGPT are added to the Shazam app library for later access.

Shazam is rolling out in ChatGPT as of today.

Normally when you use Shazam you wanna use it as fast as possible...

How is this different from just using the Shazam app? Is this for people who spend their lives in ChatGTP?

I really dislike Apple’s built-in Shazam integration when you ask Siri to identify a song. It opens this weird temporary window showing the result, with buttons to open the track in Apple Music that don’t work at all. The worst part is there is no way to copy the song title. I usually end up taking a screenshot so I don’t lose it.

 

[Zc456]

But why? You can just access it from the notification bar if you're in a rush.

 

[Love-hate 🍏 relationship]

don't get the point either. maybe so you can follow back with questions?

I use Shazam frequently and do not understand the point of this. But since we have a generation of users who no longer understand folder structures and believe that knowing how to use social media makes them "Technical" I guess that the next generation of users might get used to not even knowing how to find simple native functionality like this. Luckily, Gen Z seems a little reluctant to get hooked on all of this garbage that Gen X and the Millennials created, so maybe humanity will luck out. And maybe AI will eventually make everything simple, but it needs to get a lot faster and maybe run native to accomplish that.

what could possibly be the point of this????

I think it is a new iteration of stuff like back when people thought apps on Alexa were cool.

So ... Shazam with extra cumbersome steps. Got it.

While I share your frustration, there is a way to come back to the tiles you Shazamed. Once you have Shazam in your Control Center, long press allows you to see the history of your past recognitions and then you can open the songs in either Spotify or Apple Music.

That's nice. Too bad I deleted the app and my account after their CEO decided that mass surveillance and killing humans via AI was perfectly fine.

For my use, neither Shazam nor Sound Hound are useful. I listen to a lot of older music from the 70s and 80s and most of my use is trying to figure out when a song came out.

Shazam doesn't give that information.

Sound Hound is usually wrong. If I search on a song that came out in 1984 and there's been a greatest hits or best of album, that will be the year that it gives. Useless.

Perhaps a ChatGPT interaction could give me what I'm looking for. 🤷

The nearly sure fire, though slow, course, is to Shazam the son*to get the title (if you don't know it already), and then put the title into Wikipedia - it has separate pages for a ridiculous number of songs, that gives release dates, but also the backstory behind the song and who has covered it (and when), among other details.

Account vacated.

If you install the app, it will save all your Shazams and sync them to an Apple Music playlist.

Even if you use the built-in buttons.

 

[macduke]

What a needlessly clunky way to do this.

 

[JeziLondon]

So you have to install in cgpt but you don’t have to install and then it will appear in the app that you don’t have to install….im not confused much 🤥🤔🤓

 

[svish]

Good to see this. However not so sure whether this is the easiest way to identify the song. Also wonder how many will use ChatGPT to identify songs instead of directly using the app.

Are you aware they all get saved to the app? And you can screenshot them since Andhika copy the song title text in screenshot menu

 

[Hank001]

Good.

Next up: use ChatGPT in a cumbersome way to take a selfie. (instead of turn volume up)

If you have Youtube, try 'sound search' or it maybe called 'hum search'?
We did a comparison the other day and it was great on all the old stuff and very very fast.
Really impressive is how you can hum a tune you half remember and it'll pick it up- even if you don't sing too well. It can pick it up from a few words too.
Alexa is way better than Siri anyway- does anyone think Siri is good? So it shouldn't be surprising but what is surprising is just how much better this is than Shazam

A Shortcut could probably make this a little easier.

Recognize Music + search the web for the result is a very basic version. Searching Wikipedia directly might involve some scripting but even with just the search engines doing their AI Overview thing, it might still be useful.

Add the shortcut to Home Screen or Dock and you’ve got a one tap solution.

EDIT: Tried it out and it’s smooth. Shazam tags the song it jumps to the web search of that song title, however, if there are covers of the song or is a basic word like “Human”, you get mixed results. I tried Google and Bing as the search engine.
