About Shazam
Shazam is a revolutionary music discovery app. It is a music finder app that lets users identify songs that are playing around them. The app has transformed the music scene and made music discovery simpler. With a single tap, users can identify any song. Shazam has truly ushered a new age of artist discovery. The music discovery app has around 120 million active users. According to an estimate, the app generates 400,000 music downloads daily across its connected platforms.
Shazam analyzes a song’s frequency patterns and finds a match within its database of songs. Shazam stores a frequency map that is unique to each song. The frequency pattern is just like an audio fingerprint. The app takes a 10-second sample and matches it within its database. Once a match is found, details of the song are displayed to the user.
Shazam is available for free on the App Store.
