ChatGPT Users Can Now Identify Songs Instantly with Shazam
TL;DR: Shazam is now integrated into ChatGPT, allowing users to identify songs, preview tracks, and save discoveries without leaving the chatbot. The feature is rolling out globally across iOS, Android and web.
Shazam, one of the world’s most popular music recognition apps, is now available directly inside ChatGPT. The new integration allows users to identify songs and preview music without leaving the chatbot interface.
Starting today, users can simply type prompts such as “Shazam, what’s playing?” or “Shazam, what is this song?” while using ChatGPT. The service will then identify the track and display song information directly in the conversation.
The integration brings the app’s well-known music recognition technology into ChatGPT, making it easier for users to discover and identify music while chatting or searching for information.
Identify Songs Without Leaving ChatGPT
Once the app is connected, users can activate it by starting their prompt with the word “Shazam.” The system then analyses the audio and identifies the song within seconds.
When a match is found, users can see the track’s artwork and preview the song directly within the chat. This makes discovering music much faster, since users no longer need to switch between multiple apps to identify a track.
The feature is designed to replicate the familiar experience that hundreds of millions of users worldwide already rely on.
No App Required
One notable aspect of the integration is that the recognition technology works even if the standalone mobile app is not installed on a user’s device.
This means users can still identify songs using ChatGPT alone, making the feature accessible to a much wider audience.
However, users who already have the Shazam app installed can take advantage of additional features.
Save Songs Directly to Your Library
When the Shazam app is installed on a device, songs discovered within ChatGPT can be saved directly to the user’s library.
This allows users to keep track of music they identify during conversations and easily revisit those discoveries later.
For frequent music discovery users, the integration creates a more seamless experience between the chatbot and the broader music identification ecosystem.
Rolling Out Globally
According to the announcement, the new feature is rolling out globally starting today.
It will be available on iOS, Android and web platforms, meaning users can access it anywhere ChatGPT is supported.
As music discovery continues to evolve, the integration highlights how conversational AI platforms like ChatGPT are expanding beyond text-based assistance to include tools for entertainment and everyday convenience.
