Apple-owned music discovery app Shazam is once again offering potential subscribers free access to Apple Music. Unlike last year's six-month free offer, this time, Shazam and Apple Music are giving away five free months for new users. You will be eligible for the promo if you haven't used the streaming service before. 

All you need to do is download Shazam on your iPhone or iPad (if you haven't yet) and then identify a song by tapping on the Shazam icon within the app. Once it identifies the track, there will be an option to play the song on Apple Music. Tap that and a banner letting you know you'll get an extra two-month subscription to Apple Music if you redeem the offer. (Apple Music's trial period is valid for three months.)

9to5Mac reports that some users also spotted a banner for the offer in Shazam's settings. The deal isn't available in a lot of countries. According to Shazam's App Store page, it's available in countries like the United States, Australia, Canada, and more until January 17, 2021. 

So, if you're interested in checking out Apple Music, this is the best deal available yet.
