"My Shazam Tracks" playlist doesn't sync/add all shazamed tracks

Plan; Premium

Country: New Zealand

 

It's the same on all my devices - whether Apple or Android 

 

My Question or Issue

 

I've been using the automatic sync function where songs I have shazamed show up automatically in the 'My Shazams Playlist'. They stopped syncing so I followed the advice on this community of disconnecting the two, deleting the playlist on Spotify, then reconnecting. I've done this 3 times now.  However the playlist on Spotify only shows 94 songs whereas I've Shazamed 147 songs. And the songs that don't show up seem random - it's not that the first ones don't show or that certain albums don't show. For example I shazamed 3 songs recently from the same album on the same day and only one shows in Spotify. Any ideas? 

Hey everyone,

 

Thank you for reporting this issue to us.

 

  • iOS

This should now be fixed for all iOS users with the release of Shazam v 14.2. Just make sure your Spotify and Shazam apps are updated to the latest version.

 

Note that past Shazams will no longer sync to Spotify as part of the ‘Sync Shazams to Spotify’ feature. We have however improved the syncing to find and add more of your new Shazams to the ‘My Shazam Tracks’ playlist.

 

You can find out more on how to use Shazam in conjunction with Spotify on iOS in this Spotify Answer.

 

  • Android

The relevant team is still looking into possible solutions for AndroidWe're not able to provide an exact timeline for a fix, but we'd recommend always keeping your Spotify app up to date to ensure you're on the latest version.

Keep in mind that in the meanwhile, you can manually add tracks you Shazam to your "My Shazam Tracks" playlist.

 

Thanks again!

  • Do you Shazam tracks from multiple devices? No
  • Do tracks sync properly to Spotify when using a different device? They worked perfectly on my Samsung last week, now not working on my new iPhone
  • Details of the affected device(s): the model/make and operating system version iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 14.2.1
  • The exact version of the Spotify app you're on on the affected device(s) - you can find this out by following the steps here. 8.5.86
  • The exact version of the Shazam app 14.2
  • Troubleshooting steps you've tried I've redownloaded both apps, disconnected the Shazam from Spotify and re-added. It will re-add songs, but will not continue to add new shazam songs at all!
  • Any other relevant details that could be useful This worked perfectly on my Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra for the last 10 months

Hey spotify user! It **bleep**ing annoying if you ask for details just so just that your bot can delete them right after....

@imbafisk4tw do not worry, same happened to me several times today, @Peter explained that their spam filter hid my comments, I am sure they will be still able to read what you said.

This is happening to me again. I deleted My Shazaam Tracks in Spotify, disconnected and reconnected. Less than half my 777 songs came over into the newly created playlist and none of my new Shazam’s are syncing. Any ideas?

grubyak

@Leaill spotify is buggy, they do very less to nothing to solve them, as people keep posting issue reports, but spotify team does not give feedbacks nor follow up with us to nail and fix the problem. What's important and counts for them is probably that you pay subscription. For example this specific bug with shazam integration exists at least few months. @Mihail managed to mark this issue as fixed and it took users no more than 15 minutes to find out that bug is not fixed 😂. Now the issue is again "under investigation" but how many more months will they need to fix it - nobody knows 🙄
