How to Create a Spotify Playlist from Your Shazam Tracks

This quick guide will show you how create a Spotify playlist that automatically updates each time you find a new song on Shazam.

Have you ever discovered a great track using Shazam only to completely forget that you discovered it in the first place? Following the steps in this guide, you can configure Shazam to create a playlist and automatically update it every time you find a song using Shazam. Let’s get started!

1. Open Shazam on your device but instead of tapping the ‘big button’ to listen for a song, tap the My Shazam icon in the upper-left corner of the window.
2. This time tap the “cog” icon (see screenshot below) in the upper-left corner of the window.
3. Now you’ll need to authorize Shazam to be able to update Spotify – so tap the CONNECT button in the Spotify row.
4. Tap OKAY when prompted.
5. Once the authorization has completed, you’ll be notified with a little pop-up window. Tap GOT IT to close that window.
6. Go check out your Spotify App – there’ll be a new playlist titled My Shazam Tracks and that playlist will be updated each time you discover a new song.
7. At this point you’re all done. But while we’re on the subject of automated Spotify playlists… Did you know you can have one that automatically updates each time you like a video on YouTube? :)
