As Apple Music keeps growing in popularity, the service is now connected to the song-recognizing app Shazam. If you hear a song that you’re familiar with but don’t know its name, just open the Shazam app on your phone and start identifying. And the result will be shown within seconds.

Back in 2018, you could only play your Shazams on Spotify, and couldn’t on Apple Music. But now Apple Music has launched the integration with Shazam. With Apple Music subscription, you can play the full-version Shazam songs on the app.

In the following parts, I’m going to show you how to connect Shazam to Apple Music and download Shazam songs on Apple Music for free.

How to Connect Shazam to Apple Music

Before you jump to the cross-app integration feature, make sure you have both Apple Music and Shazam installed on your phone. And this feature requires an Apple Music subscription to play Shazam songs, or else you'll see an error pops up on the screen. If you have got them both on your phone, let's get started:

1. After opening the Shazam app, tap Library and then tap the cog icon to enter Settings.

How to Fix Apple Music Shazam Playlist Not Updating

After connecting Shazam with Apple Music, a new playlist named after My Shazam Tracks will be automatically added to your Apple Music playlist list. If you recognize a song on Shazam, the song should be added to this Apple Music playlist simultaneously. But some users might run into troubles, as an iPhone user reports:

I have a paid Apple Music membership in good standing. For some reason, my Shazams are no longer updating in the My Shazam playlist. In fact, it’s more than that. I currently have 410 songs in My Shazam. I noticed that there were only about half that amount in the playlist on Apple Music.

And here’re some solutions to fix this problem:

1. Disconnect Apple Music from Shazam, and delete the Shazam playlist on your Apple Music app. And then reconnect Apple Music with Shazam, a new playlist and the song syncing feature will be reactivated.

2. Installed the latest version of Shazam and Apple Music to make sure the full feature is available on both apps.

3. Check your internet connection, poor Wi-Fi or cellular may cause the syncing problem.

4. Update your iOS system to the latest version to ensure your phone is running in good standing.

If you still can’t fix the problem after trying all the solutions listed above, the only way is to manually add your Shazam songs to Apple Music playlist which might be quite tiresome. But what I’m going to introduce in the next part will definitely make your Shazam songs worth it.
