As of today, iOS users are also able to catch the songs that caught their ears! SongCatcher, Deezer's track recognition feature, identifies any song from a library of over 56 million tracks worldwide, meaning that unknown songs you hear on films, TV, waiting rooms and restaurants can be just a few seconds away from your playlist.

The SongCatcher button can be found just below the search bar in your Deezer app. Once it is identified, the song will be displayed on your screen with the title, artist name and the cover of the album where the song belongs to. You'll then have the option to add it directly to your library and playlists. You can also play and share your new discovered track with your friends.

Make sure to update your iOS to access SongCatcher now!

Guys, this is fantastic news! but come on, 2 things immediately:

first, why can't it automatically save, the searched song, like on a history list, or playlist? Instead of me looking for a playlist where to save it?

second, why is not possible to listen to the song directly from the research results?

come on, come on!

Hey there @MarcoG

Thanks for your feedback! I'll be passing it on to the team responsible for the feature.
You can save the track by tapping on the heart, or opening the menu and selecting add to favourites. You can also 'play next', but other users also asked for a 'play' button so we'll be looking into it 😉

I really think Deezer has a way of creating a whole music experience for someone. If anything this is one of the most engaging apps I've come across. I just happened to have an idea that may make the experience even better. What if you guys added a 'shazam like feature',whereby one can find a random song they just heard and would want to know the artist and even better if the artist is on Deezer,the search leads them straight to their account. What do you think?

This iOS version might also be interesting for iPhone/iPad/iPod touch users who want to scrobble everything their mic picks up to Last.fm, as there is no other music recognition and scrobbling app on iOS yet, as far as I know. There is ShazamScrobbler, but it only works on macOS devices, and there once was Scrobblr, but it doesn’t exist anymore. On Android there are other options like Deezer’s SongCatcher or Pano Scrobbler, but not on iOS.

So you only have to connect your Deezer and Last.fm accounts in the Alerts & Sharing tab of the Deezer web player, save the recognised songs to a playlist and scrobble it afterwards to your Last.fm profile.

By the way, does the Shazam integration still work on Deezer, and in which countries and on which apps? Does it afford a subscription, or is it free?

Hey @bluezzbastardzz

Thanks for sharing the above with the community - really cool.

About Shazam, it's still working and you don't need a sub to use it. But because it was bought by Apple, and they have their own streaming service, they might push the option further down in the future (just a note, from experience).

And the Deezer integration in Shazam only works in four(?) countries, right? I think I have also read that it only works for one recognised song, so you cannot create a Deezer playlist with it which you could scrobble.

Is there any plan to improve speed in Songcatcher search? I hardly find the songs I look for, because it really takes a lot of time before identifying it…

thanks
