  @SUBMARINER1941 Thats almost as terrible as what they did to @dyingscribe 's favorite bscure marvel hero. Marvel: to showcase we stand with black ppl....lets have a bunch of cops beat the crap out of our black shazam character till he is a comatose vegetable

  @TheRochaSays What’s even more baffling is that Wonder Woman, Joker, Aquaman, and to some extent Shazam were all box office successes followed up with the most terrible inconsequential sequels you could imagine.

  @OrevaZSN You could probably do this with existing Shazam by uploading a bunch of tracks of various car sounds to YouTube or something with titles indicating the problem and waiting for Shazam to index them

  @Niklander3 I'm kind of curious if Safran is more the problem here...the SHAZAM sequel, and the AQUAMAN movies weren't some sort of bastion of quality.

  Shazam had no answer for blade 2. Close to infallible normally, 3 wrong answers tonight!! Just put on pulp fiction and it had no problem picking up tracks from that.

  @permylastemail7 That had to suck. Imagine hearing BTS for the very first time and it's live so it's even more impactful to be there in person while they perform. And you hear all of these bangers for the first time and you have no way to Shazam it or write it down or anything.

  @JOKAQARMY1 Man, how many bottles of water does Siri consume? Let’s be real here we have had Ai since Shazam and Siri, so why is it not the biggest issue when it’s adapting to everyday life

  Played a song and asked my roommate to guess who the artist is. Guy cheekily pulls his phone out to make it seem like he’s texting someone and i saw his hand move from the top of the screen to shazam it. Puts down his phone a few secs later of fake brainstorming he gets it right

  @MrSoundHive I agree I think the best case scenario is working the chorus on socials to see if it gathers any motion. Even radio, just to see if it triggers Shazam at all. No point having a 1M bill, 6 months down the line on a hunch. I won’t have thought that if you didn’t ask

  @Shazam Fix your app so that when you select Buy on iTunes, it takes you to the song and not the iTunes homepage. Recent app update still does not address this issue.

  @Abimbola_Fenwa Let Down is very sad, lol. I like Creep, No Surprises and Plastic trees and maybe Karma police. You dig Foxy Shazam too?

  Your other location 25 mins away? All the same figures except Shazam were also sitting on the shelf because it was already bought. I don't understand why you guys can't fix your inventory issues!!!

  Julie Barrett (@juliecbarrett) reported 35 minutes ago

  Last week Idaho Governor Brad Little signed HB 542, Stop Harms from Addictive Social Media Act (SHASM - ADF calls is “Shazam!! 💥”) While the bill seems to have good intentions, it’s impossible to implement without universal age verification - handing MORE data of children to Big Tech - and constant behavioral monitoring of children online. This “solution” will undoubtedly make the problem worse. Additionally, it is the opposite of “parental empowerment”, forcing a government mandate on every family.

  @h0uselife Shut your dumb *** up Shazam one was better than Shazam two and he’s a ****** actor for doing what he did why he is going down the path that he’s going down with his career had his stupid *** put his ego & pride to the side something great could have come out of that.

  @futurexhope This is actually true, yeah. The term AI is hard to define in itself and it can include tools like even Microsoft Word or Shazam if not delimited enough, but generative AI is a very specific part of it that is the core of the whole issue with AI these past years. Not that hard

  distrokid stays robbing me 99¢ per track. In the past I only added the shazam discovery to my tracks and ever since apple music bought shazam and make it essentially free to have your songs on shazam if they’re on apple music so to keep that charge valid they have it register with nielsen sounds can and all that ****, which is now called Luminate long story short they by it no right to collect money for a service they don’t provide anymore. i didn’t ask to have my **** on neilson soundscan/luminate, i added the discovery for shazam when that was the only service offered in the discovery pack. @DistroKid you should automatically stop charging for any 99¢/track discovery pack bought before apple bought shazam. or at the very least notify people that shazam is free but they can either continue the discovery w neilson or opt tracks out of that discovery system. ESPECIALLY when i never gave you the rights to have my data on soundscan for those old songs when soundscan registration wasn’t in the discovery pack. you have no right at all that’s like if you had a meal prep delivery company deciding to start sending you **** that’s NOT good and keeping your subscription alive in bad faith because it’s just the same company deluging SOME service

  Reed: Yes, I do. He needed somebody to talk to her and find out what would she say if she was asked about Jeffrey Epstein, and you were the perfect choice. And you went down there and suddenly - Shazam, she’s out.”

  @Billy_batshed Otherwise idk how high id rate it for Freddy, i think it was very fun to have kon interact with someone his age and theyre very fun together i wish i got to see them more often... but im very interested in what your reaction to the issue would be as a shazam fan

  @CambsCops Why hasn't Shazam Choudhary been arrested for this Anti-Semitic advert? Why aren't the Police nationwide investigating @TheGreenParty for Anti-Semitism? It's time this party was SHUT DOWN!😡

  🇳🇴 AahYesHello 🐧🎶 (@AahYesHello) reported 52 minutes ago

  @ri_neb LandR is pretty decent in my opinion here is pros and cons: pro: They give you shazam, contentID for free Cover licenses are a one time payout If you stop paying your subscription they won't take down your songs, but take a 15% cur from your revenue Support team are humans only and no useless chat bot cons: Because they dont use AI in their systems they have a manual QC team that needs to look through your release and manually approve which takes some business days If you're making a remix they need documentation for rights of sample usage which takes even more days to process They dont support label plans and is generally for solo artists so if you were planning a "Various Artist" release it is usually meant for 1-3 artists per release Hope this helps

  @isaacrrr7 no one really had a problem with her before, when she was in shazam, it was their decision making that created this dilemma, you should be mad at disney you should realize the trap they set you in, so you become the scapegoat and distraction, giving them what they want

  Carl Feher (@CJ_Feher) reported 53 minutes ago

  @DeathMetalV Maybe because too many of a certain kind of person were raised on reading science fiction where any inconvenient plot problem can be solved by simply making something up that's never existed before. Shazam! Problem solved!

  @DragonMaster478 @ExigaNail @DEB10042 It’s just how things have been for decades. He was called Captain Marvel all the way through the 2000s. In New 52, DC decided they wanted to get rid of the complicated rights issue by just naming him Shazam instead. Which led to a lot of conflict with fans.

  Look I don't know who this fellow is (I assume he's some sort of a bigwig in the beverage industry) but that's a terrible name for this app. If we're gonna rename it let's go with "Shazam!" or "Ka-chow!" ya know, something catchy and fun.

  @Dzungie007 They will close down on the condition that South Africans stop buying from them. I don't understand our citizens when they fail to realise that everything starts will them/us. The illegality of foreigners, Shazam shops, stolen funds in gov offices, gov offices not functioning.
