Shazam's New Update Identifies Songs on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube
Apple has just unveiled a new update to Shazam, and it comes with a fantastic feature for independent aritsts. Now, Shazam can not only identify music playing in other apps like TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram, but it also allows you to tag those songs effortlessly.
Picture this scenario: A potential fan stumbles upon your music on their favorite social media platform. They're instantly captivated by your unique sound but have no way of knowing who you are or what the song is called. That's where Shazam comes into play. With a simple tap on the blue button within the Shazam app, they can identify your track in a snap, and your identity as an artist is revealed.
Here's the exciting part: When they tag your song, it automatically gets added to their Shazam playlist. This means that they now have an easy way to rediscover your music anytime they want. Think about the exposure this can bring to independent artists like you! As more fans start tagging and adding your tracks to their playlists, your music gains visibility and reaches a broader audience.
Shazam keeps a log of all the songs users have tagged in the past, which means your music won't be forgotten easily. Fans can revisit your tracks and share them with friends, introducing your music to an even wider circle of potential listeners. This means even more potential for discovery!
Not to mention, with Apple integrating music recognition directly into the Control Center on iOS, the process of tagging songs becomes even more convenient for users. This means more spontaneous and organic music discovery, and your songs could be the lucky ones they stumble upon.
So, independent artists, this is your moment to shine! With the latest Shazam update, version 15.36, available for free on the App Store, you have a powerful tool at your disposal to attract new fans and gain more exposure for your music.
