Apple is working with Shazam to integrate its popular song recognition technology into its Siri iPhone and iPand voice recognition system, according to [Bloomberg](http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-04-17/apple-said-to-prepare-song-id-feature-for-iphone-software.html?ref=hypebot.com).

Cupertino's experimentation with Shazam comes as sales of digital downloads have slowed under increased competition from music streaming.

Apple, according to numerous reports, is trying a multi-pronged approach to see how it can recapture lost revenue both for itself and record labels.

Shazam integration will reportedly be built into iOS 8 music like Twitter,which means users will not have to download a separate app to activate it.
