<p><a href="https://9to5mac.com/guides/shazam/" target="_blank">Shazam[/url] has told <a href="https://www.cnet.com/news/shazam-always-listening-microphone-mac-os/#ftag=CAD590a51e" target="_blank">CNET[/url] that it will be changing the way the Mac app works in response to privacy concerns. This is despite an earlier statement to <a href="http://motherboard.vice.com/read/shazam-keeps-your-macs-microphone-always-on-even-when-you-turn-it-off" target="_blank">Motherboard[/url] that it had no reason to make changes.</p>
