Shazam adds Spotify to Android app

iOS users may have gotten the feature earlier but now Shazam users on Android can also use Spotify within their app. The music discovery app will now let you listen to full Spotify tracks in Shazam. Also, if you’ve “discovered” a song through the app, it’ll be added to a Spotify playlist for Shazam tracks. The update is rolling out to all users as we speak.

Shazam for iOS gets a Listen Now feature for Apple's Beats Music

Shazam users have spotted something on their iOS apps: a Listen Now feature with Apple-owned Beats Music. Much like what Shazam lets you do with iTunes Radio, Rdio, and the like, you can tag a song on the app and it can instantly play that on Beats Music. The catch is you would need to have a Beats Music subscription or are availing the 14-day free trial of the service. You also need to have the latest version of Shazam installed.

Shazam now lets you stream full tracks from Rdio within the app

If you’ve wanted to listen to a full track on Shazam, then you can now do that with the help of Rdio. A recent update will let you playback an entire song using Rdio’s library. The catch is you have to have a Rdio subscription. If you do, you just need to link the two apps and you are good to go. The tracks you “Shazamed” will be sorted into its own playlist and there will also be an “Add to Playlist” button to put the song into your playlist of choice. The update is already available for iOS devices and will come to Android in the following days.
