Why not just use Shazam on vinyl?

Shazam works for one-off lookups, but it is built for streaming and radio moments. Vinyl sessions are longer: you want continuous identification while you listen, automatic history, and a now-playing display on iPad or TV. What's Spinning is built for that listening-room workflow.

Shazam for Vinyl: Identify What's Playing on Your Turntable

How Vinyl Identification Works

Same idea as Shazam — hear music, match a fingerprint — built for turntables and listening rooms.

Open the App

Put your iPhone in your pocket or set an iPad near the speakers. Grant mic access once.

It Listens Continuously

No tapping every track. Continuous listening fingerprints room audio on-device while you spin.

Track Locked

Artist, title, and album art show up as soon as the fingerprint matches — including deep cuts.

History + Display

Every listen lands in your history. AirPlay now-playing to your TV or leave an iPad on the shelf.

Why People Search “Shazam for Vinyl”

Shazam is great for a bar or a car radio. Vinyl nights need a different tool.

Whole-session listening

You are not identifying one song — you are spinning sides. Continuous mode keeps up as tracks change.

Automatic listening history

Every ID becomes a log entry with source tagging. No spreadsheet after the fact.

Room display, not a pocket tap

Leave an iPad next to the turntable or AirPlay album art to the TV. Built for listening rooms.

On-device fingerprints

Audio is fingerprinted locally. Raw room audio is never uploaded or stored on our servers.
