My Shazam tracks are not syncing with Spotify. Help please?

[New user]

I have already tried disconnecting, deleting and reinstalling both Shazam and Spotify several times. I switched from android to iPhone a year ago and since then not one song has synced even though the playlist is still being created.

Hi, 

Thanks for the post.

In 2022 we discontinued support for a legacy developer service, which allowed apps like Shazam to use and interact with Spotify and stream audio. We understand this is frustrating for you.

We recommend you reach out to the support team for Shazam directly regarding their ability to pursue alternative options.

Cheers.

Hi,

I have been syncing Shazams since 2016 without any problem. Since a couple of weeks, the feature does not work anymore. I tried disconnecting, deleting the playlist reconnect again without success. The playlist is recreated but only the first Shazam after reconnecting make it to the playlist. I also tried deleting and reinstalling the app from my iOS device, doesn't work...
this is getting pretty annoying... is there any other idea or alternative to understand what's happening to resolve this problem?

thank you

best,

Olivier.

My Question or Issue

I've tried all the suggested methods to get the Shazam tracked automatically, but nothing seems to work.
Methods tried:
1. Disconnect, then connect Spotify to the Shazam app.
2. Revoke access to Spotify and then try reconnecting to Shazam.
3. Updated the apps and tried the above two methods again (both apps in the latest version).
4. Cleared cache.
5. Log out and log in to the accounts on both Shazam and Spotify.
6. Restart the phone.

It used to sync some time ago, and then I deleted the "My Shazam Tracks" playlist, and now no matter what I try, the playlist gets created but none of the tracks get added.

Please help!

Hey,

im having problems with the Spotify - Shazam connection. At one point it stopped adding new songs so I searched online for help and tried some things. To avoid losing my old playlist I renamed it so Shazam would create a new one on the library. 

I tried deleting the cache, desynchronised and resynced it but all that happened was a new playlist without a single song. I currently have 600 song in Shazam and use it frequently, so I would love for it to function again. 

do you have any tips for me?

thank you for your help!

This option was once available and discontinued with a thin justification that sync now works better. I got like 700 shazams before I found out about sync option. Manual adding the all is a huge hassle. Why not bring back a feature you already had working?

Since April, my Shazam list in Spotify is not being updated with my shazam songs identified.

Tried to uninstall both apps, tried everything and still - the last songs in the shazam app, in my songs list - is not inserted into the Spotify shazam tracks

I switched to SoundHound iOS app in 2017 due to Shazam's issues with Spotify integration. SoundHound has been working great and has provided reliable Spotify integration. Shazam team has been ignoring reliability issues with their Spotify integration since at least this ...; I guess it's better they finally pulled it instead of providing unreliable integration that constantly breaks and misses adding songs.

I recently noticed my songs are not syncing on Spotify from Shazam on my Samsung Android Phone.

The last time the playlist updated was 2 weeks ago and it has not updated since or adding any new playlists which has been frustrating. I have done all the steps including clearing the chache and resyncing the app, but its not working.

When I shazam a song with my phone it goes into my shazam history, but then does not go into the 'My shazam tracks' playlist. I have the shazam installed and linked.

I had this issue for two years, but I finally fixed it by deleting my old "my shazam tracks" playlist.

I unlinked spotify, copied tracks to a "old shazams" playlist I created, deleted the playlist, then reconnected spotify.

Only downside is I lost the "shazam date" on my old songs. Maybe I could have tried renaming the old playlist to something else but I'd think it works with a playlist ID or something.

That does not work for me, since I dont even have my own shazam tracks playlist there yet. Just one from a friend, but I dont have access to edit that.
Something seems to be wrong on Shazam's end, that they dont add the playlist all the time.

Hello,

There still seems to be an issue with the synchronization between Shazam and Spotify. The connection is active, the playlist was created, and the initial tracks were added, but recently Shazamed songs are no longer syncing to the Spotify playlist.
