Shazam Now Supports Apple Music Classical

Unfortunately tapping that button doesn't add tracks to the "My Shazam Tracks" playlist. It's supposed to, but it's been broken forever.
Good luck with your game of Home Screen Bomberman to get it where you want it.
Awesome, so now Apple Music Classical users can also tap the button to open in Apple music and have it tell them they have no subscription.
It’s not a huge problem, you can get a 1 minute preview of the song without subscribing to Apple Music, and if you like it you can purchase it… 👍🏻
Oh yeah... I remember that era. Feels like a long time ago. But my relationship to time is wonky. When was that again?
Good news. The one thing I wish Shazam could do is ID songs even when you have earphones going, that is listen to what is playing internally. I loaded Shazam before Apple purchased it. In the beginning its instructions were not to good about the setup. For years I tried to use it and it never worked. At one point after Apple had purchased it I blew it out and reloaded it. Magically I had install instructions telling me to allow the app to access my microphone. I don't remember anything like that when I first installed it.
I honestly think most of the people who ask that in comments are more interested in some kind of response/reaction from the content creator than any genuine interest in the song. I'm sure many of them know they could Shazam it or just google the lyrics, but they wan't someone to do a thing for them. I think it's also just copycat behavior. They see more and more people asking that question and feel compelled to do the same for no particular reason.
Lifetime-built Classical / Baroque library resides in Lossless (ALAC) on my mini-PC's iTunes app tied to my high quality but affordable sound system (Onkyo amplifier /Polk Audio speakers -- piped in via an iFi Zen DAC.) All affordable components and two-chanel centric. If I am missing anything, I sure can't tell. Bliss. YouTube points me toward new items of interest on occasson, but the library is enormous and I OWN it...
Sorry, that was a tongue in cheek comment referencing this long standing issue: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/252579068
I have an active sub to Apple Music, but opening from Shazam always prompts me to sub.
There is a weirdness about Shazam. It does not always work as expected from the app. From the App you get the subscribe to Apple Music if it cannot find the track in Apple Music. But the app is actually supposed to be used from the iOS control center. I have it loaded on the Mac but I don't have a microphone hooked up yet so I don't know how is works there.
When I watch the SpaceX Youtube channel I always like the music. Shazam ID it, Test Shot Starship.
I wish they would make Shazam work a bit better, the control centre Shazam doesn't always sync with the app version, the create playlist from Shazams is shaky at best
I knew she used be able to do that. I thought I may have been imagining it.
What I wish Shazam would do is ID music when you have earphones on, internally. So many times I hear something I like on YouTube and I want to know what it is but I have earphones on. Right now it can't do that unless you have an external speaker playing.
