Would add the ability for users to identify music that might be playing on the radio or from a nearby speaker, similar to that of Shazam or SoundHound. I imagine this feature would fit well into the voice command component that already exists on the search page by stating 'What song is this?' or similar.

Marked as a new idea 🙂

 

This is a repost of this inactive idea.

Yess why isn't this a more popular idea? It's literally smart for spotify to work with something like that or have a better integration with shazam. This would be good against the competition. Come on guys let's get some more votes on here

Also I feel like this shouldn't just be a mobile feature. Personally, I would use it on mobile as well as desktop.

I think it would be a really good idea to add an in-app music Scanner, like what snapchat has. When you hear a song you don't know you can scan it through Spotify and it would give you the options to like song, or add to a playlist.

It would be great if a "Shazam" type of search was made in the mobile app!

This is a genius move. Wipe out the need for soundhound/shazam
