Re: Apple offering custom 'Grammy Awards experience' and 4 months free of Apple Music via Shazam

Siri works almost flawlessly to identify songs. The only reason Shazam was apparently needed last evening was that was part of the requirement of the deal to get a 4 month free trial of Apple Music. I was surprised because I thought Apple had bought Shazam and incorporated it into Siri, but

I think he may have been referring to the Pandora app being somewhat difficult. Again, I found it to be nice and simple when it was free, but after I upgraded to premium, the app got all busy and harder to use. Anyway… My trial ends soon enough so I’ll see if it goes back to the simple layout

If you are talking about the Shazam app; you just had to have it installed. The first time I tried it last evening, it didn't work because I didn't have the Shazam app installed. I downloaded the app; then asked Siri what song is playing and it identified the song and a redeem button came up
