Apple acquired music-discovery app Shazam in 2018, and quickly made it an ad-free experience. While Shazam has remained a standalone app available across mobile operating systems, Apple has now integrated Shazam more tightly into its ecosystem with iOS 14, allowing iPhone and iPad users to name that tune without opening a separate app. SHA-1 key approval is measured in seconds, creating just a few taps to complement a number of sync and discovery tools. In addition, Shazam now syncs in real time (a previously optional feature) to iCloud, so users can jump in and create their own radio stations or download existing stations that are already listening. Besides adding a powerful metadata next-track tool, Shazam will let users add items like created music photos, gestures, and conflicts to get a more complete listening profile.

As With Pods, Burris had been producing Bluetooth headphone accessories, but then tackled the larger product category of Music and Audio Now, attracting 3.7 million users in the U.S., Canada, and France. Now its headphone products are in the hands of over 110 million people and connected to more than 300 million devices. Co-founders Larry Stebik and Ravi Brahmbhatt-Tumli, along with SoundWeave CEO Abraham Malalaba, announced in the spring that they were turning it into a software lead, in order to offer a range of more granular insight to buyers. Shazam and Spotify's awesome user reviews and Last.fm data also differentiated the company from the competition.
