Music discovery service Shazam has updates its App for iPhone, iPod touch and Android with a new feature called “Shazam Friends”, allowing users to share new music with their friends on Facebook.
The new feature provides a real-time feed of songs that friends have tagged, creating a continuously updating list giving every Shazamer a new and powerful dimension for music discovery.
Andrew Fisher, Chief Executive Officer, at Shazam said: “Shazam Friends is a major step forward in social music sharing. We all have friends or family with great taste in music and have discovered an artist or song because of them. Our new feature not only allows Shazamers to see what their friends on Facebook are tagging, but they can also listen to the track and go on to purchase it. Shazam Friends is an exciting new feature for our community of Shazamers, that will make it easier than ever before to learn about new music and share those moments.”
Shazam Friends is available for all users, in both Shazam Free and Encore Apps, on Apple’s iOS devices and Google’s Android devices.
Shazamers can manage the sharing of their tags and decide to stop sharing at any time while still being able to see their friends’ tags. For two friends to see each other’s tags, they both have to connect their Facebook accounts to Shazam.
