After reaching all major platforms with its music recognition software, Shazam has expanded beyond mobile and is now available for Mac as well.
Shazam is perhaps the most popular music recognition service out there, enjoying a large user base worldwide. The software allows users to identify songs around them, thus helping them discover new music. The app also works with TV, but this functionality is not available in all regions.
The service has now released a brand new application for Apple users: Shazam for Mac. The app brings along all of the popular features that proved successful with the other versions available for Windows, Android, and iOS devices.
"Catch the music and TV playing around you without ever digging a phone out of your pocket. Shazam for mac runs quietly behind the scenes, but springs to life when it finds out a song you should know about, creating a playlist as it goes. You can now Shazam from your computer and effortlessly find it, share it, and buy it," touts Shazam on its website.
Shazam for Mac has been designed to run in the background, always ready, and users will be able to access it via the Mac menu bar when running. Although it automatically creates a playlist as it finds new songs for you, you can always modify that list so it better reflects your taste and preferences.
Moreover, the new Shazam for Mac also comes with some neat features to further improve the experience. For instance, the app enables users to access lyrics or music videos, or even buy their favorite tracks on iTunes with just one click. According to the app's creators, Shazam means instant and seamless access to "all the music that makes up the world around you."
"Download Shazam, and bring the magic home. The app you've come to rely on as your go-to music expert has been given a major upgrade for your Mac. Catch the music and TV playing around you without ever digging a phone out of your pocket. Go nuts, match it all," further teases the description on the App Store.
The new Shazam for Mac application is now available to download for free and is compatible with OS X 10.9 or later.
