Shazam is a powerful music tool to quickly find the song you first heard. It helps me a lot in searching for songs I loved and first heard. Every time I feel surprised at the background music in TikTok, I will use Shazam to recognize it and save it to Spotify. Despite the searching function, it also provides music streaming services. Once you link a Shazam-supported music service account, you can get the full song streaming.
As we all know, Tidal is the leader in audio quality among music services. However, it's a pity that Shazam doesn't support direct linking to Tidal. I love Tidal's Hi-res, and I wish it were possible to add a Shazam playlist to Tidal to enjoy the best hearing. So, in this post, you will get 3 possible ways to connect Shazam to Tidal. Let's dive in.
Part 1. How to Transfer Tidal Playlist to YouTube Music
Unfortunately, the answer is NO. There are only 4 music streaming services that Shazam supports: Apple Music, Spotify, Deezer, and YouTube Music. That means you can't directly locate the song from Shazam's link to Tidal. If you want to transfer the identified Shazam songs to Tidal, you need to employ third-party tools like Soundiiz or MuscConv to transfer Shazam tracks smoothly. Move to the next part to learn how to transfer it.

Before connecting, you need to make sure of the following things:
- Maximize Device Volume: You can increase the volume or get close to the audio source to allow Shazam to get an accurate search result.
- Reduce Background Noise: You can go to a quieter place to allow Shazam to hear the target music source more clearly.
- Turn on Auto Shazam: You can touch and hold the Shazam app in the app drawer to activate the Auto Shazam setting. Then open Shazam and hit the Shazam button on screen. Once you turn on Shazam Auto, it will still work in the background even if you switch to another app.
- Allow Shazam to Use Microphone: You can go to Settings > Apps > Shazam > Permission > Microphone to allow Shazam access Microphone on your device.
