Song Identifier: A Music Recognition Add-on for Firefox

"Song Identifier" is a unique Firefox add-on that recognizes the music playing on your active tab. It works similar to apps like Shazam or SoundHound. You simply need to play a video or audio clip and click on the add-on button. It then identifies the song and gives you the details. The add-on mainly communicates with the music identifying service provided by acrcloud.com. It's ideal for frequent music listeners who often find themselves wondering 'What's this song?'

A lot of unfair 1 stars from people that can't follow instructions. Doesn't recognise every song.

First attempt, complete success. I clicked on the extension's icon at 9:50 of this Youtube video: F-22 Raptor Vs Su-30SM Flanker-H Modern Thrust Vectoring Dogfight | Digital Combat Simulator | DCS | and the music was almost immediately identified as Battlefield 4 "Warsaw" theme.
