Of course. How else are Shazam going to make money? They need to listen to you, process the audio using a natural language processing procedure, and then target advertising at you.

Can confirm that they're pursuing this business model: particularly to see what TV ads you're being exposed to. Coverage from existing sources is panel based with low sample sizes that do not extend well into more targeted research.
