Q&A

What is Shazam and how does it work?

Shazam is a mobile application that can identify music, movies, advertising, and television shows by playing a short sample through the microphone on the device. It works by analyzing the captured sound and matching it with a vast database of audio fingerprints.

Is Shazam free to use?

Yes, Shazam offers a free version with basic features. However, there are also premium options available that provide an ad-free experience and additional capabilities.

Can Shazam identify songs without an internet connection?

Shazam requires an internet connection to identify songs because it needs to access its online database to compare the audio fingerprint. However, users can use the Offline mode, which allows them to save the audio sample and process it once they are back online.
