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?'
