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?'

I tried to identify one song. It tried, failed and told me that i reached my daily limit. Wonderful addon 5/5

Sometimes it works, other times it's so wrong it's ridiculous. It recognized a Hoist the Colours - The Bass Singers as some Indian song that sounds nothing alike.
Plus it doesn't work unless I put the media alone in a new tab.
