Shazam doesn't "always run". Don't want Shazam running? Simply quit Shazam. The on/off setting in dispute is an option within Shazam itself.

- dpark 10y agoIf that's true, then I don't personally care whether they are constantly capturing audio and discarding it. While that isn't as ideal as, you know, not doing always capturing audio, if it saves half a second when the user decides to capture audio and stops when the app is closed, I can understand that tradeoff. I don't have Shazam installed on my laptop and honestly can't imagine I ever will, so this is academic for me.
- nicky0 10y agoExactly. The sole purpose of the app is to capture background audio and analyse it. Don't want that? Don't run it. This seems to be a storm in a teacup. We're not talking a Dropbox-like system hijacking here.
