Music recognition app Shazam has partnered with streaming service Rdio to give iOS and Android users the ability to stream songs after they have been successfully identified.

Users of the free and premium versions of Shazam are now able to instantly listen to entire songs after tagging them by clicking the ‘Listen Free on Rdio’ link within the app. By connecting Shazam to Rdio listeners can also create a playlist on Rdio called ‘My Shazam Tracks’. This playlist automatically updates with every new song tagged in Shazam.

“Working together in major countries across the globe, we are now providing more than 270 million Shazam users the ability to instantly listen to an entire song they just identified exclusively on Rdio,” said Daniel Danker, chief product officer of Shazam.

Anthony Bay, chief executive officer of Rdio, said: “Music lovers around the globe can now connect Shazam’s tagging feature with Rdio’s digital music service.  All the songs tagged in Shazam are automatically added to a ‘My Shazam Tracks’ playlist in Rdio, making it easy to identify, save, and organize their music discoveries. Rdio and Shazam are at the forefront of how people are discovering new music.”
