It became clear why Apple bought Shazam three years ago: for DJ mixes

Thanks to the Cupertino company's use of Shazam technology, Apple Music will be available on the streaming service

This means that the company must be able to identify each of the included segments to ensure proper designation and compensation to the appropriate parties.

The source says Apple has finally officially announced the technology it has been using for some time thanks to its 2018 acquisition of Shazam.

Apple Music today announced that it has put in place a process to properly identify and compensate all individual contributors involved in creating a DJ mix.

Apple is not currently accepting submissions.user-generated content (UGC), which is typically posted on platforms such as SoundCloud. This could very well be a future ambition for Apple Music, given that the value of user-generated content in the music industry is estimated to be over $6 billion.
