New Shazam Feature Will Reveal the Most Popular Moment of a Song

[MacRumors]

Shazam today announced it is rolling out a new Popular Segments feature that reveals exactly which part of a song is most popular with listeners.

For example, the image above shows that the given song was most discovered around 30 to 35 seconds into the track during the preceding week. This was the moment in the song when the most people asked Shazam to identify the song.

More details about the feature:

Popular Segments spotlights the key moments within a track that drove the most Shazam activity within the past week. Available for top tracks ranking on Shazam's charts and based on Shazam tag volume, this interactive feature displays relative segment popularity throughout a song, allowing users to hover over the graph and reveal precise time markers and corresponding segments.

Shazam says Popular Segments will provide both listeners and artists with helpful insights into what makes songs resonate.

The feature will begin rolling out today on the Shazam.com website across desktop and mobile platforms, according to Apple. The announcement did not indicate if the feature will be coming to the Shazam app on the iPhone and iPad.

Shazam is a popular music identification service that Apple acquired back in 2018, and it has Apple Music integration. In addition to being available on the web and as an app, Shazam powers a Recognize Music control in Control Center on the iPhone, iPad, and Mac. You can also use Shazam via Siri voice commands.

Last month, the Shazam app for iPhone was updated with a Liquid Glass design.

So, from 5 mins songs, music industry went down to 2:30 and now it's just a small hook. No wonder why new artist are so disposable!

Glad that 🍎 bought Shazam and is continuously improving it with additional integrations & features

I added this Shazam button to my lock screen & that’s pretty much the ONLY way that I’ve been accessing Shazam - because u don’t even need to find & open the Shazam app. You don’t even need to unlock your iPhone! It’s as easy as it possibly can be with this button:

How about we "think for ourselves" and have our own likes/dislikes/opinions?

It'd be nice to have tech just stop trying to do everything and be everything at every bloody moment.

I want to see what Shazam thinks of In The Air Tonight by Phil Collins. 😉

Yes, and people in the other music thread a few weeks ago were insulted when someone said today’s music was mostly trash.

It is trash and designed specifically to get you to keep listening.

Shazam helped me identify those terrible songs frequently played in restaurants so I know who the hell sang them.

What a useless feature. First you hear a song, decide you like it, realize that you can probably shazam it, try to shazam it, fail, get closer to whatever is playing it, try again. By then a whole minute could have gone by. This data is useless.

why can't you use Siri to access Shazam, on Android phone, all you have to say is "ok Google Shazam this"

Shazam - ‘Intro is too long’

 

[AppleMega]

The most perfect chorus of all time*:

Amateur Hour goes on and on
When you turn pro you know
she'll lets you know
Amateur Hour goes on and on
When you turn pro you know
She tells you so

*I didn't say 'greatest.'

Exactly. Came here to say the same thing. I'll occasionally replay the closing credits of a TV show to some random spot so I Shazam the song.
