Shazam is an audio recognizer that can identify a short sample from music, television shows, advertising, and movies. Sometimes, when you go out with friends or have dinner with your family members, you will hear some pretty familiar songs but you can’t remember the song’s name instantly. Under this condition, you may use the Shazam app to recognize the music that you heard. It can identify the music by using an audio fingerprint which is based on a spectrogram. And it allows you to recognize the music from Spotify, Apple Music, and Groove Music. Take Spotify as an example, you just need to open the Shazam app to record 10 seconds of a Spotify song, then it will store the song in a database. When you connect Shazam to Spotify, you can recognize any song from Spotify in a second. Here is how.
