I absolutely love the Shazam feature that you can select which recognizes a song being played on a radio station and then displays a cover and other information for the artist then performing. Could we please have a settings switch to apply this Shazam setting continuously for radio stations so that the artist information would automatically be displayed as each song is being played.
Hello,
Thank you for your interest in and suggestions for HIFIROSE. However, please understand that the feature you mentioned is difficult to develop due to current traffic-related issues.
Thank you.
Roseloa,
If this feature is too difficult to implement, is there a command on the remote control which will turn on Shazam for a song? That way I can press it each time.
Thank you.

As you said, you can press the Music search button on the RoseRadio playback screen with the remote control.
Thank you
Roseloa,
No matter what I do, including removing and reinserting the batteries, I can’t get the remote to be seen by Bluetooth on my RS 130. Previously, it was identified and paired.
Some of the remote functions work even though the remote isn’t recognized on the bluetooth setup screen(?).
One that does work which I really LOVE is all I have to do is press the OK button to get Shazam to recognize a song.
Thank you!!!
Thank you for your assistance.

I have been able to turn on Shazam with the remote.
The process is as follows:
- Start at the main RoseRadio station screen. This is the one with no other stations listed, just the one for the radio station. playing and the Shazam screen on the left hand side
- On the remote, press the “OK” button ONCE. Keep it pressed until the two remote lights flash and go out. This is only one or two seconds. The “OK” button is a small round button in the center of the four way toggle switch.
- Wait at least one second. Then press the “OK” button again also waiting until the two lights on the remote go out. That will activate Shazam and the album art for the song playing on the radio station will be displayed.
- After the first Shazam album has been identified, for all subsequent songs/albums only one OK button press is necessary.
There are two things to remember here. The first is that the first OK just highlights the Shazam app, The second OK “presses” the Shazam App button. Pressing OK twice in rapid succession doesn’t work because the remote ignores the second OK command while it is transmitting the first. Thus, the need for the timing of the button press. It would be nice for the remote to cache a second input while it is transmitting but it doesn’t so this approach works perfectly instead.
I know you like using Shazam on the RoseRadio.
On the Shazam android app, Shazam Iisten’s to the music played and when found, it places the following in the Shazam Library:
- Songs played: for each song, the following “Song Text” is saved:
- Artist - Song Title with the Album Cover Art & Date of entry
- Also tracked separately are the played: Artists, Genres, Moods & Decades
- All Shazam saved songs can be played via Apple Music (I can change Apple Music to say Amazon Music but Amazon Music often plays the song from a different album; hence is often not the same song as heard on the radio.)
Added the following on March 12, 2026:
On Apple Music,
- Automatic Playlist: Shazamed songs are saved to “My Shazam Tracks” in the Apple Music app.
- Setup: Open the Shazam app, tap settings, and turn on “Sync Shazams to Apple Music”.
- Access: Open an identified song, tap the “Listen” button to immediately play it in the Apple Music app.
- Alternative Methods: Use the Control Center “Music Recognition” icon on iPhone to identify songs without opening the app.
- Android: The Shazam app allows you to connect to your music streaming service, including Apple Music, to sync tracks.
On Spotify,
-
Automatic Syncing: New songs identified with Shazam are automatically added to the “My Shazam Tracks” playlist.
-
Listen in App: Tap the “Spotify” button on a track in Shazam to open it immediately in the Spotify app.
-
to Connect Shazam to Spotify
- Open Shazam on your device (iOS or Android).
-
Access Settings:
- iOS: Swipe up to “My Music,” tap the Settings button.
- Android: Swipe to Library, tap the settings icon.
- Connect: Tap “Connect” next to Spotify.
- Authorize: Tap “Agree” in Spotify to grant access.
- Sync: Ensure “Sync Shazams to Spotify” is enabled to create and update the “My Shazam Tracks” playlist automatically.
Question:
- Regarding RoseRadio, when a song is played, what is the RoseRadio shown info?
- When Shazam is selected, what happens (ie, what song info is saved & where is the song info saved?
- Is the saved info only text?
- If it’s only text, how can you get the song’s actual audio track?
- How can you save the song info & its audio track to say a playlist?

We support Shazam only within the RoseRadio app.
There are thousands of radio channels available in ROSE Radio. When listening to the radio, there are often moments when you wonder, “What is this song?” The Shazam feature in ROSE Radio can help identify it.
When you press the “Search Music” button while playing a radio channel in the RoseRadio app, you will see the album cover, the song title, and the artist name.
Additionally, if you press the magnifying glass icon next to the “Music Search” button, ROSE will immediately search for the song within your MUSIC library, ROSETUBE, TIDAL, or QOBUZ.

joyofmvid,
Those are great questions! You know more about Shazam than I do.
I use Shazam for two purposes only but you have opened many more for me.
I am a music listener who enjoys combining the audio with the visual. For me ading the visual of the artist’s album enhances the listening experience.
Secondly, since my eclectic (odd) tastes run to obscure tracks of a particular genre I get great enjoyment from discovering very old, but new to me artists and albums from that genre. When I listen to online radio stations carrying my taste in music they are a great source for me to find new artists and new albums. Shazam in HiFi Rose will search for the albums containing the songs playing on the radio and the albums containing them. It’s the way I primarily use to find albums to add to my collection of music.
I view HiFi Rose like my definition of a friend: A friend is someone who you know all his faults and like him anyway.

PS Am I correct in assuming that you had an input into RoseConnectOne? If so, kudos to you. It is a huge improvement.
joyofmvid is not an employee of HiFi Rose.
They are not involved in the development of RoseConnectOne.
Rosehan,
I did not intend to imply that joyofmyvid was an employee of HiFi Rose. I do feel that many of the thoughtful suggestions that were made have been incorporated into roseconnectone which I view as a huge improvement.

We are glad to hear that you think it is a significant improvement.
It is true that some of the suggestions previously proposed by joyofmyvid have been reflected in RoseConnect One. We also review user suggestions, and if we determine that they are needed, we develop and test them. If they work well, we add them as new features.
We will continue to work toward providing even more refined and complete software in the future.
