Love it? Then Save It: Spotify Adds Automatic Shazam Playlists

You pull out your smartphone and fire up Shazam to identify a great song you're hearing. But then what? Too often you forget the name of the band or song after 5 minutes; and seldom does it make into any form that encourages listening later. Now Spotify has created a solution by automatically putting them into a playlist. To set it up, Spotify Premium subscribers can follow these simple steps:

• Get the latest Shazam app
• Go to My Shazam and open Settings (top right)
• Select “Connect to Spotify” and follow the instructions

Spotify will create a “My Shazam Tracks” playlist in your account, and all your current and future Shazams will appear there automatically.
