    @mylo_blazebeatz Nah It was because Shazam couldn’t solve the problem I faced I came up with the idea I tried shazaming a song and the song had changed before I could Shazam it But I could sing the song and I figured there should be an app that can allow me sing to it and tell me the song

    @TheComicSource Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, following the trajectory of failure around the aged up version of the character and the publication of perhaps the worst treatment of the property with the deceptive de-age in Shazam issue 20, this Superman Unlimited arc WOULD be a hoax if the young version of Jon does not remain in current continuity. Too often, editors forget that fans are people also- customers marking tally over each and every deficient story arc, and glaring lack of competence marring canon over time. DC certainly paid no attention to sales numbers, fan feedback, Go-Fund-Me campaigns… watching the publisher fall on their face with the Jon Kent character- heck, with core Kryptonian titles, has not been “fun.”

    @Abimbola_Fenwa Let Down is very sad, lol. I like Creep, No Surprises and Plastic trees and maybe Karma police. You dig Foxy Shazam too?

    @CleanCasinoGuy At first I was scared i was one of the people watering it down since i actively use hyperfixation. Then i remembered it's not normal to space out and ignore reality, eating, talking, etc, until you get to read the next issue of Shazam. Tbh, I didn't even know ts was happening. 😭

    @pjjacung @TochukwuAgba @grok Grok got it wrong. This isnt Ai, its Shazam: Fury of the God's. Its alright. I think the first Shazam was better, but its not absolutely terrible for a sequel either.

    @EthicalSkeptic @JohnPlatner I started w/ google, gave them all the info. they wanted. Tried a few times through them and I failed. Then used Woo..2 single orders (myself and brother-in-law). Then Shazam sent a fraud alert and mentioned Milton, Georgia and ******/dating service? I have windows 10 computers

    @seattletimes @Widgetreine7 If you don’t investigate to find any issues Shazam there are no issues. In the same vain you can argue the same about legally purchased firearms and conceal and carry individuals. The left has no problem imposing even more draconian regulations for firearm purchases and ownership that are far above even these changes suggested for voting.

    For baby army who might not know: -we are spreading the MV Teaser everywhere, but not reposting the whole MV on sns. Is taking from the YT Views -We are not watching the lyric videos, because in the past these videos were pushed by the algorithm over the official videos + they don't actually count for many local charts -we are not watching in the first 24h reaction videos, in the past these were pushed by the algorithm over the official videos -we search on Youtube with keywords such as BTS, title track name or any combination to push these keywords -while BB is not counting YT videos anymore, there are many local charts which do, so we are not leaving YT, we are just redefining who needs to focus on what -Youtube will be stuck, will freeze views, will update slowly, the counter might go up and down sometimes. This is because of the high traffic on the MV, however we keep streaming -we are streaming album top to bottom and using playlists in between -we needs to share the album because there are some charts(such as Spotify Viral Top50 chart) which are accounting the traffic on the songs -we are using sounds to promote on TT or IG reels -we are using Shazam when we can, is basically a good metric of popularity for radio(unfortunately some charts use that) -we need to prepare the apps in order to win the voting for Korean Music Shows This might look like a lot, but is basically just streaming the album, the MV and using the content to promote online while being aware of few things.

    Born To Boogie - Marc Bolan Archive (@GlamRockMarc) reported

    📆 April 19, 2002, “Jeepster” by T. Rex became the first song successfully identified by Shazam. This happened during a pre-launch test of the service, which at the time required users to call a phone number and receive the song title via text message. The company, now owned by Apple, has since developed technology capable of identifying billions of songs.

    @ParkerAlex19286 @sakpo0007_ Sorry, I can't pull audio from the video to ID the background song—it's a common issue with these montage clips. They often use generic dramatic/trending instrumentals for effect. If it's from TikTok/Reels, try Shazam on the original!

    @hawolt I mean I understand the frustration, but as a fan and coder myself: I was more impressed by the custom shazam while at the same time thinking "yeah but im never gonna need this" I watch twitch a lot so the adblock did directly solve a problem i had

    @swifthub13 @iyoushetwt common swiftie L. sound quality, shazam integration, price, not shoving ai music into the service, and they pay artist more. don’t get me started on the ice ads they run.

    Polo (@7Polomman) reported

    @iHateApplee And then there's Shazam, which doesn't identify any of the selective music, only the overplayed, the well-known stuff, but not quality music; it doesn't have that in its repertoire. And everything from Apple is terrible...

    @CambsCops Why hasn't Shazam Choudhary been arrested for this Anti-Semitic advert? Why aren't the Police nationwide investigating @TheGreenParty for Anti-Semitism? It's time this party was SHUT DOWN!😡

    Shazam might be the only app that solves an actual problem people ever developed but Instagram allowing you to add music to your Spotify liked songs without switching apps is right up there too

    On March 20th I want the entire world to be purple. I want BTS **********. On YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora, Deezer, Tidal, Amazon, Shazam. I want retailers to see people enter their store and ask themselves if they are about to have to restock the albums in the music department again. I want them on radio, commercials, TV shows, the news, magazines, newspapers. I want their name to be the most searched on the internet. I want ALL the records. EVERY record. I want all of it for them. Because they deserve it. They didn't leave us. For the entirety of their military service they kept us company. They released individual projects one after the other. We were never alone. No other fandom has ever been so loved. Let's make sure to show up for them. They've always showed up for us.

    @Dzungie007 They will close down on the condition that South Africans stop buying from them. I don't understand our citizens when they fail to realise that everything starts will them/us. The illegality of foreigners, Shazam shops, stolen funds in gov offices, gov offices not functioning.

    @Updates4DC He turned down playing Superman in shazam and didn't want to appear in any studio projects until they basically guaranteed him a superman movie which he never got. Zack Synder left WB Henry Cavil rejected the offer to play superman. Jason Mamoa said he rather be Lobo.
