Apple Shazam music god search native adaptation M1 / M2 Mac, new icon Logo unveiled

CTOnews.com, August 12, Apple updated the Mac version of the Shazam music search app for the first time in two years, introducing Apple Silicon chip support for M1 and M2 Mac, and adding an update icon Logo that is consistent with the appearance of macOS Monterey.

The Shazam application for Mac now uses Apple's generic binaries, so it can run natively on Intel Mac and Mac with built-in Apple design chips.

Apple completed its acquisition of Shazam for $400 million in 2018, but the Mac app has received few updates since then, making it the most eye-catching update since the acquisition.

The Shazam application adds an icon to the Mac menu bar that can be clicked to identify the song being played. This feature is built into Siri, so Mac users can access Shazam without installing applications, but some users may prefer menu bar applications that are easy to access.
