very useful thanks!
Thank you!
You could try Audile if you don't mind switching away from Shazam. I don't use the app heavily, but it has worked great for me.
The only issue with Audile. Is that you have to sign up for AudD. The cheapest option is $5/month. If you use it a lot, then that could be worth it. I would like to find an open source replacement for SoundHound, but since I only use it, maybe 10 times a year, it isn't worth $60/year.
You only need a subscription if you use it over 300 times per day (or week, I can't remember). I haven't needed an API token and have been using it with no account successfully.
You dont need a Token if you need very few songs
You can use open source Firefox to access it
I know that I can use the official Shazam app, but the fact that I use a closed-source app, having almost all my apps open-source, that really bothers me π₯²
This doesn't really bother me to be honest... it's music after all, everyone benefits from it, even if they have some of my data and use it.
I will have to thank you for the info though... about the app I mean... I was looking for something like that to run on Linux βΊοΈ.
