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.
