"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!

Hey there folks, 

 

Just sharing an update with you all:

 

I've gone ahead and did some tweaks in the Status Update to make it more clear that this issue should be resolved for iOS users as this caused some confusion.

If you're currently in version 14.2 (and newer) of the Shazam app and you're experiencing something similar on an iOS device, we'd recommend posting in the relevant Help board so we can take a closer look into things.

 

We'd also suggest checking out this Spotify Answer that contains more info and troubleshooting you can try.

 

For Android users, rest assured that the teams are still working into improving things. Make sure to keep both Spotify and Shazam apps up to date in the meanwhile.

 

Lastly, keep in mind that if you're on Android, you can try deleting the "My Shazam Tracks" playlist to restart the sync. However, we don't recommend trying this step if you're having troubles with the iOS app as this won't work in the same way (you'll only see new shazamed tracks display).

 

If anything changes for Android users, we'll keep you in the loop here!

 

Hope this helps clear things up a bit more! If you have any questions about what different Ongoing Issue statuses mean, you can check this Spotify Answer.

 

Have a lovely day 🙂

Hello Spotify team, I'm still facing the same issue in 2024.

I have a Shazam list on Spotify that hasn't been updated by the apps since 2021.
I've followed all the steps provided in this thread. Disconnecting both apps, de-syncing, and even deleting the playlist when everything was disconnected, but no results.

I have a notification telling me a new Shazam playlist has been created, but it stays empty.
No problem with the connection either. In more than 2 years, you can imagine that quite easily. And yes, the "Sync the Spotify" option is enabled in my Shazam app.

There are quite a lot of forums referring to this problem. It's been years now, and still, no proper solution.

I'm an iOS user on an iPhone 11 Pro, and I use the desktop app on both Windows and Mac.

Can you please help?
Thank you,
Laure

Hello Been using Spotify since 2015 and just realized my shazam songs sync to spotify. I located my playlist but anything before may 2019 doesnt sync. its syncs the current stuff but not the rest. I have close to 10K songs shazamed would love to get the rest. 

 

I checked my app I dont have the toggle to sync songs to spotify I guess it automatically does it. is there a way to fix this?

Four years and this is still an issue on Android. Seems like the matter has been abandoned entirely.

My shazam is not syuning with my spoitify and I cant seem to find how i can raise this with you. What is the answer please

 

Tkmaxin

I think shazam and spotify have got beef.  I reckon this is where the issue lives. Shazam gives the option to connect to spotify but but spotify clearly are not letting them access the API

Thank you so much @Tkmaxin ! I can't get all my old shazams but the ones from 2024 are now properly sync with Spotify. I've been waiting for an answer for years and yours is actually so simple, but it worked!
Thanks again!
