Shazam now able to identify vinyl-only tracks

Previously audio-recognition app Shazam vexed vinyl enthusiasts alike with its inability to identify tracks that featured on vinyl-only releases, but now that’s all going to change for the better.

As FACT note, Shazam has recently signed a deal with online retailer Juno to use its vast database of such releases.

“Vinyl music is seeing a resurgence in the industry, with sales at their highest for 15 years,” a Shazam spokesperson said of the news. “Crucially some of the most important and exciting new music is released on vinyl first before later hitting digital.”

Meanwhile, the company also recently set up an “Auto” feature, allowing you to identify music on the go.
