No, not once I have needed shazam in my life. Like I said, I only listen to metal and Im very picky about what music Im listening to.
I also havent used a playlist yet in my life, I hate playlists. I only listen to full albums or eps. I dont create or use someone elses playlists.

So… good for you? It may just be me, but I don’t spend a lot of time in threads for products I have ho interest in, announcing that I have no interest in them.
Also not sure how you can be so certain that you hate playlists, if, by your own admission, you’ve never used one.
I always find it entertaining/annoying when something as exacting as binary-based algorithms spit out such vague messages. "In a bit???" The math can't be more exacting than "in a bit?" 😂🤪
Great new feature. I just checked and the Siri song search list in the iTunes Store app is still just Siri results, no sync with Shazam. But, when I just opened up Shazam, I was given the option to create a “My Shazam Tracks” playlist in Apple Music. Basically, we’re going to be able to find the songs we Shazamed in multiple places, which I like, but, for me, it might be a little confusing. We’ll see how it goes.
Generally happens because the problem is with an external resource that's not under the program's/device's control - often a network/Internet-based resource. For instance, it tried to contact Apple's servers to do the song match, and it hasn't gotten a response back within the expected time window. What should it report for how long before the problem is cleared up, if the problem is not under its control? Plus, if it was a matter of the system being overloaded... if the program said, "retry again in 3 minutes and 20 seconds", and everyone actually did, it might just overload again. By saying "in a bit", you're instituting a human-controlled random backoff algorithm - they'll all interpret it a little differently, and the retried requests will come in at a range of times, rather than all at once.
The one from Siri that really annoys me is when she says, "Hmm, that was taking too long", without adding, "SO I'M GIVING UP NOW (ask again later if you still care)". If you had a human assistant and you tasked them with doing something, and their response was that it was taking too long to do, so they just gave up - and didn't even own up to the fact that they were giving up - you'd probably have a few choice words for them. By the way, Siri responds to choice words with, "I won't respond to that". Ask me how I know.
She's so annoying sometimes. How can you not do something simple like turn lights on and off?? My wife literally asked "Hey Siri, why are you do dumb" She responded "i'm just trying to do my job. May I help you with anything else?" And the living room seems to think she is the queen. We got that one more recent, so maybe the mic was improved. I can be in the bedroom telling the Homepod to do something in a normal volume voice, and the living room responds.
Sounds exactly like my parents back in the 1960s when I was a teenager. The more things change …
Responded in your other thread. Did you ever find a solution for your Issue 1? This is really annoying me.
Reposting my thoughts…
Ok, since updating to iOS 16 this new integration have severely ruined the music recognition experience for me. I used to be able to ask Siri “what song is this”, click on the result, and it launched in Apple Music where I could listen to it and add to my library. Oh, and if you knew where to look, your history of recognized songs was also in Apple Music.
NOW this %*@$! Shazam integration pops up and after multiple taps I’m staring at a screen offering me 4 months of Apple Music, which I already have, and I have to click the small print below telling them that I do. Ugh.
Help! How do I get my old experience back OR at the very least lessen the number of taps to open the song in Apple Music? Would turning off Shazam sync under iCloud fix this? Would downloading the app help? I just want recognized songs to open directly in Apple Music like they used to. 😖
I'm not quite sure when this fix landed, but the Siri-song-search-to-Music experience has changed, for the better, from that which you describe above (and what I too had been experiencing since upgrading to iOS 16).
"Hey Siir, what song is this?" yields the same Shazam song I.D. pop-up as before, but here is the difference: they added an Music icon on the right side of that pop up. If you tap that Music icon, it launches Music. Tap anywhere else and it launches Shazam (and yes, once in Shazam, there is a one/tap option for launching Music). Anyway, we're practically back to the seamless workflow found in iOS 15.
Let me know if you’re seeing the same.
Cheers.
Thank you! I had not noticed the Apple Music icon! This is much better.
However, if I do go into Shazam, I still don’t get the one tap launch of Apple Music. I still get a prompt to start a trial after hitting play full song. Do you by any chance have the full Shazam app installed?
