    @meeksthoughtbub The music down here is pretty fire I'm trying to Shazam it

    Car stereo playing a song on the radio. iPhone connected via CarPlay. Opening Shazam or Apple’s own “recognize music” tool immediately shuts down the radio. I know taking over the car stereo audio when the microphone is activated is the standard behavior, but it’s kind of stupid in this scenario, right?

    @restoreZSJL It’s quite unfortunate that they were shut down Shazam and black Adam gone 😭

    @barkmeta If anyone knows what that second to last song was, let me know. I was turning it down before I could hit Shazam

    @ButcherBoi67 As good as a Shazam sequel looked. I was excited for it, coming out of some rough times and it looked like fun. Nothing groundbreaking but the film ended up having a lot more issues after viewing ofc.

    This COSOMA debate made me realize something… A thread 1/ While everyone is arguing about royalty payouts, I’m seeing something different. I’m seeing a system problem. And software problems are meant to be solved. 2/ If artists don’t fully trust how royalties are calculated… If the public doesn’t understand the monitoring system… If people keep asking where the numbers come from… That’s a transparency problem. Transparency is exactly what technology can improve. 3/ Imagine a platform that monitors radio and TV broadcasts in real time. Not guesses. Not spreadsheets passed around. Actual digital monitoring with an auditable trail. 4/ Imagine every song played being automatically detected using audio fingerprinting—similar to how Shazam recognizes music. Every play gets recorded. Every record has a timestamp. Every calculation can be traced. 5/ Now imagine every artist having their own dashboard. “My song played 287 times this month.” “These are the stations.” “These are the broadcasts.” “This is exactly how my royalty was calculated.” No mystery. Just data. 6/ The platform could also allow broadcasters to upload playlists digitally instead of relying only on manual submissions. Everything becomes faster. Everything becomes easier to audit. Everything becomes more transparent. 7/ And why stop there? Churches… Event organizers… Festivals… DJs… Could also submit licensed digital setlists. The more legitimate usage we capture, the fairer the royalty system becomes. 8/ This isn’t just a COSOMA solution. It’s a solution for every collective management organization across Africa that struggles with monitoring, reporting and royalty distribution. That’s a regional software market. 9/ This is the type of software Malawi can build. We don’t always have to import technology. Sometimes we should build the infrastructure ourselves. 10/ That’s why I’m putting this idea out there. I’m looking for partners who believe Malawi can build world-class technology. Investors. Government. COSOMA. Broadcasters. Let’s build it together. 11/ Imagine Malawi becoming the country that develops one of Africa’s most transparent copyright royalty systems. Not because we complained. Because we built the solution. 12/ Sometimes the biggest opportunities don’t come from asking, Why is the system like this? They come from asking, What if I built something better?

    @JovanHoward13 Crazy thing though for DC (and any superhero franchise for that matter), anyone can be casted for whatever role. I love The Rock, but he forgot he doesn't own that character like that. If they fix Shazam down the line, then so be it. I'll probs be in my 70s by then lol

    @bekeestitches Shazam was never the problem. The real issue was that DC never figured out how to properly position him in the bigger universe. The character had the potential—execution and consistency were the problem. ⚡

    @DosEvil @TheRock Biggest mistake was not playing his ego down and crossing over to Shazam. You’re a villain, lose magnificently and enjoy the work. He turned into a mark for Black Adam.

    @SavvyRinu No mind them, they are just tensioning people up and down, my own is the song playing at the background. I just had to shazam it now and findout the title... Straight to download it.. Johnny Drille - Stars Align

    @zhang_digiden One could hope, i mean, considering to where we were before (#that Shazam Issue was last year i recall?) Their storyline is actually improving. seems like someone in the writting room aknowledges trying to break their bond is equivalent to burn money.

    Sometimes, I wonder if Shazam has ear problems.

    @bekeestitches Shazam was never the problem. People just underestimated him and didn’t understand what he was capable of.

    It's labelled simply as Adagio so I tried Shazam but drew a blank. So I did the good old searching and going down rabbit holes. It is the 2nd movement of Beethoven's Piano concerto No 5.

    I used to Shazam down

    @LPNH There needs to be a Superhero who's the reverse of Shazam; he's superpowered until someone calls him a "******" and it powers him down into a child.

    @Starseaman71 @FernKalm @JamesPrescott77 And yeah Aquaman and Shazam worked, that's been my point, BvS was bad, and fully because of Zack, but JL was worst, that became because of the studio interference, regardless of John's, the studio still did, and yet after 2 bad movies, those 2 were able to be received well and perform well. So clearly the issue wasn't Zack made a bad movie,he didn't make half a dozen worst **** that droped after JL

    @liamgallagher We should all down load that one to our phones you think …let me know if need to Shazam that one

    @oluwaseun7g Doom would be a problem in DC. He would beat Dr.Fate easily and then claim the power Shazam. Instantly making him able to defeat superman. Doom would probably top 5 threats in all of DC.

    @axel12381403 @FandomWasp I think this was miles better than the shazam issue though this was actually meaningful to Jon's character and was never meant to be a supersons thing, plus its in Txyz character to mock Jon with the aging up comment, he's trying to ruin Jon so he never gets defeated eventually

    CB ⛈ BROWN ALBUM OUT NOW! (@stayxbreezy) reported

    I heard a Chris brown song I never heard in my life from someone’s car and I chased them down to Shazam it and it was called leanin with juicy j and quavo?!! Where was I when this dropped?

    @Gazungamer Honestly the biggest problem with the later output of the dceu. Stuff like Shazam and TSS would’ve done wonders 5 years earlier

    I really do hope it/when they bring Shazam into the DCU that this is the type of interaction we get. I love when they don’t realize he’s a kid at first and then it becomes an issues
