How Google Maps, Spotify, Shazam and More Work | WSJ Tech Behind

[@aniketbhanderi5927]

Shazam was way ahead in terms of Engineering when they launched it on nokia phones. Glad they survived and we see it all iPhones nowadays.

shazam is so useless it cannot recognise any song i want to know about. in my experience, acr cloud performs so much better

I am happily surprised that Shazam started before the era of smartphones; that's impressive. their tech works like magic.

Tap to pay is nice. Usually you have to stick the card in and then type the code, but with tap you just touch the machine and can even move the card away and back into the wallet, and when it’s in your wallet first then the transaction are confirmed (paid). and you can easiler move on, instead of have to rush putting the card away

[@chethanforyou]

But that also means any body with active rfid device can get your money by just sneaking close to your wallet. Unless you have aluminium line wallet in that case u r swfe it doesnot allow waves to pass

[@gorillashop337]

I love Shazam it’s always among the first downloads every time I change phones that and Pandora music always on the lookout for new bands

[@MarcSpctr]

are you using iPhone ? cause if not then why exactly would you download Shazam, when you can just ask Google Assistant what song it is, and it will give you pretty accurate results, considering it has access to whole KZbin/KZbin Music library. edit: I used to use Shazam but I remember few years ago, you need to play song for it to recognize while Google can find it even with just HUMMING. Maybe now Shazam can do that as well, but at that time only SOUNDCLOUD and Google were capable of it, and SOUNDCLOUD was very bad at it and also it's library was pretty bad. So I started using Google and now just don't need to download any app anymore.

This was so cool, and made me want to go do a lot of deep dives into some of these topics that they went over. The only criticism that I have is when they are changing from one product to the next, there was no buffer, or transition period. Like it was just bang, on to the next one. It would have been nice to have to screen fade out for a couple of seconds or so, and then back in.

[@donalpaccio4233]

What I don't enjoy with Spotify is that you can't really stop some songs or artists from popping up on your for you page nor in the shuffle. Even if you're paying for the service, you are forced to see them. Also, if there are songs you dont like on a playlist, you can't really skip them because the minus button, which is supposedly hiding it, doesn't work properly.

Record migrant intake does reduce standard of living. We are in a GDP per capita recession. There are too many humans for the current infrastructure levels. There is more congestion on our roads, hospital/ambulance wait times have increased, rental vacancy rates are at record lows, rent prices are exorbitant, and house prices are increasing despite interest rate rises. So, yes, the standard of living is drastically declining due to the unsustainably high immigrant intake levels over the last 2 decades (particularly the last 2 years).The migrant intake levels needs to drastically drop.

[@MrWyzdum]

My android phones does a "shazam" through Google assistant. I just say, "hey Google, what is this song?", and it answers in a few seconds. So i wonder if they're licensing technology from Shazam, or actually duplicating it. If seems insane to replicate something so complex, but then Apple made it's own map system, so companies definitely do it.

[@MarcSpctr]

I am pretty sure Google made it's own thing. Cause a few years back when I used to use Shazam, it didn't recognize any songs when HUMMING. it needed a song playing to recognise it. At that time only SoundCloud and Google were able to recognize song by just HUMMING. and SoundCloud was pretty bad at it and had very few songs in the library as compared to Google which has the whole of KZbin. I am pretty sure they made their own, cause that was my main reason to shift from Shazam to Google Assistant and now I don't need to download a separate app for this. I just hope they give an option to make a SHORTCUT on my homescreen which will directly start song recognition, instead of needing to start the Assistant and then asking it to recognise a song. edit: just found out you can make a shortcut on homescreen for that.

[@MrWyzdum]

@@MarcSpctr interesting. So I don't need to download Shazam to get the best, Google is probably as good or better.

[@RixMorales]

I use Google Assistant for every song that I want to get ID'ed. The humming feature is heavensent. I only use Shazam when Google Assistant failed to identify the song (which is a rare occurrence)

[@caty863]

@@MarcSpctr how do you speak to the google assisstant to tell it to search for a song in the club? it's so noisy and you'd look weird to shout to your phone when you are sitting in the cloud. Shazam's interface is much better. I am pretty sure shazam also has access to KZbin songs; the API is free. Besides, does Google Assisstant have the scrolling lyrics feature? that's what I like most about Shazam.
