Here’s how to do it.
You just need to switch on the features to do so.
Open System parameters and select “Control Center” from the sidebar.
You’ll know your Mac has identified the song if a Shazam notification pops up.
Clicking that notification will take you to the song on the Shazam website or in Apple Music.
The identified song is automatically added to your Music Recognition history.
