Can shazam play offline

okennedy1,

Thank you for replying back with updated information on using iTunes for adding music to your device.

If syncing songs to your device through iTunes, those can be listened to when offline. If you're listening to iTunes purchases, it's possible those are streaming and may need to first be downloaded before they could be played as part of a Shazam playlist offline. This resource below can provide more information on downloading iTunes purchases to your device:

Redownload apps, music, movies, TV shows, and books

Have a great day!

Hello okennedy1,

Thank you for choosing Apple Support Communities!

It sounds as though you're looking to play music without a connection to the Internet using Shazam. You're in the right place, and we'd be glad to assist in seeking a solution.

Below is a resource that can help:

Use Shazam to identify songs and find new music

"If you don’t have an internet connection, the app still creates a unique digital fingerprint to match against the Shazam database the next time your device is connected to the internet. If a song can’t be identified, it will disappear from your pending Shazams."

Additionally, this resource below can provide more information on connecting Shazam to Apple Music and other music services to listen to your songs after identifying them:

Use Shazam with Apple Music, Snapchat, and more

With Apple Music, you can add and download songs to your device to listen to offline. - Add and download music from Apple Music or buy music from the iTunes Store

We hope this helps,

Cheers!

okennedy1,

No problem.

Have a great day!
