Step 1: Connect to Your Subscription. On your mobile device, open the Shazam app and enter the Settings page ('Social Settings' on Android). Depending on your subscription, select either 'Connect to Rdio' or 'Connect to Spotify' and you'll be prompted to sign into your streaming music provider. With Shazam connected to Spotify, your playback on Shazam will be synced to Spotify seamlessly. Even though you identify using Shazam, you play the song through Shazam and then add it to Spotify for listening next time. However, sometimes, the feature doesn’t work as expected, and the Shazam Spotify playlist doesn’t update properly. Shazam also has integration with Spotify. You can play 30 seconds of the recognized song in the Shazam app, but after you connect Shazam to Spotify, you can play the whole version of the song on the Spotify app. What’s more spellbinding is that you can sync your Shazam playlist on Spotify.
After you've identified a song, tap the play button next to a Shazam to listen to a preview. To listen to the whole song, connect Shazam to Apple Music or another music streaming service that Shazam supports.

Tap the Apple Music button near a Shazam to listen to that song in Apple Music. If you’re an Apple Music subscriber, songs that you've Shazamed can be automatically added to a playlist called My Shazam Tracks in the Music app. On iPhone or iPad, swipe up to My Music from the main Shazam screen, tap the Settings button , then turn on “Sync Shazams to Apple Music.”
You can also add a Shazam to another Apple Music playlist without leaving the Shazam app. Just tap 'Add To' next to a Shazam, then tap the playlist. If you’re not already a subscriber, learn how to join Apple Music.
