I didn't know you could use iTunes match from iOS devices but if Siri can be integrated with Shazam which has acoustic fingerprinting, then I would think they could do the same with iTunes Match on iOS devices.
- eridius 11y agoYou can't use[1] iTunes Match from iOS devices (for precisely this reason). It's Apple Music that you apparently can (I haven't tested but that's what I've heard). Shazam does have acoustic fingerprinting, but it's much cheaper fingerprinting. And it's cheaper because Shazam is allowed to get it wrong. It doesn't have to get 100% of songs, and when it does get songs, it's perfectly ok for it to not recognize which particular performance a song is from if the artist has multiple versions. But iTunes Match has to be as close to 100% accurate as it can (and better to avoid recognizing a song entirely, thus requiring it to be uploaded, than to mis-identify it as something else). Shazam is only listening to part of the song, but iTunes Match has to fingerprint the entire song, and the amount of processing it does per second of music may very well be higher as well.
