AudD® Music Recognition - Identify Music from Any Website

AudD® Music Recognition is an extension for the Firefox browser that instantly identifies any song playing on a website tab. Employing music recognition technology, it searches the AudD database, which consists of over 80 million songs, and successfully identifies the song track. It then displays the song lyrics and provides direct links to listen to the song on platforms like Apple Music, Spotify, Deezer, and YouTube Music. This extension functions like a ready-to-use shazam for your browser.

it works but after sometime it just shows Recognition failed: authorization failed: wrong api_token
by szczoch, 2024-12-20

I have used it only on YouTube and it managed to find all the songs so far, even those that were overlapped with someone's voice or other sound effects. Will change my review if enshittification happens.

In most sites streaming music I get the message "start error: can't find any unpaused media elements.". Please fix it!
