Song Identifier

Music recognition. Like shazam or soundhound.
What is Song Identifier?
"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?'

You might need to register an account on acrcloud. Payments/credit card not required.

To try it out:

  1. Go to a website with video or audio, like youtube, for example.
  2. Start playing the video/audio
  3. Hit the addon button and you should see status bar with the countdown (see screenshots).
    • Some websites, like Soundcloud, serve media differently, it won't work on those and the status bar will not appear then.
  4. wa la
If you're going to use it a lot, then I please make your own account at acrcloud.com and get 100 free ID's every day, just for yourself. This way you won't overburden the default account. Check out the add-on preferences page - there's more information there.

A '3003' error means that the default account, associated with this extension, has used up all its ID's for the day. There's nothing you can personally do about this, except wait for tomorrow or create your own account as described earlier.
