Use Music Memo

Learn how to save a song you hear in town as a Music Memo, including recognition and publishing conditions.

Overview

Music Memo lets you keep a song that catches your attention in town, connected to the place where you heard it. You need to be signed in to a Topo account, allow microphone access, and have an internet connection. Topo v1.2 is available on iPhone running iOS 17.6 or later.

Steps

  1. To create a new card, open the card creation screen.
  2. The camera opens first. Use the mode menu to select the Shazam icon.
  3. To add music to an existing card, open Add Memo (+) at the bottom of the screen.
  4. When the Shazam screen opens, Topo starts recognizing the song playing around you. When a match is found, it is added as a Music Memo.
  5. If you want, choose an emoji to express how the music makes you feel.

Things to Know

  • Music and audio used for recognition are never saved.
  • If a song cannot be identified, microphone access is not allowed, or the connection or recognition fails, follow the on-screen guidance to choose Settings or Try Again.
  • A Music Memo added from an existing card inherits that card’s place. One added while creating a new card is connected to the place confirmed on the creation screen.
  • A Music Memo attached to a currently public card can be switched from private to public. A confirmation appears before you publish it.
  • On a private card, a card whose public period has ended, or a card without a public expiry, Music Memo stays private and cannot be switched to public.
  • A Music Memo added to a new card is reflected after the card is saved. If the card saves but the Music Memo alone fails to be added, guidance appears on screen.
