Difference Between Spotify And Shazam

1. Spotify is fully accessible so you can listen to artists from around the world from anywhere and at anytime. If you're not the type to curate your own playlists, and would prefer to listen to music radio-style with songs popping up, select Spotify's radio stations for almost any genre of music.
2. Shazam is a powerful app which allows you to recognize what song you are hearing by allowing the app to listen for only a few seconds. Shazam listens through your microphone, comparing what it hears to a database of millions of songs and searching for identifying characteristics.

If you can’t add songs to a playlist, make sure to sync your music library with Apple Music.
