by dbaser, 7 months agoChanged my original 1-star review to 4 stars after reading Developer response. I was originally under the impression that this requires Sign Up and is only a Free Trial of an extension. I thought this for a few reasons:
1) Before using, I read other reviews stating the same thing.
2) When I first tried to use it without an API token, it did not find any songs I tried. I then opened Settings and saw a field for an API token and the words "API token, paste it below" and thought that it must not work without an API token. I signed up for the API token (not knowing the API is a separate product) and after creating an account the dashboard shows that the user is on a 2-week Free Trial. I thought this applied to the extension, not the API.
3) There is a link on the main extension page to a Privacy Policy which differed from the one I read on the API dashboard, which further contributed to my impression that it is a paid extension, as I was unaware they are two separate products.
Now that I have read the Developer response, when I go to Settings, I can clearly see that it reads "If you're subscribed to the AudD® Music recognition API and have an API token, paste it below." I didn't notice this at first and thought the API token was required.
I have tried it and you can indeed use the extension to find songs without any API token. I gave the extension four stars instead of five only because the AHA extension is still better at actual song recognition. Thanks for the response developer! My apologies for assuming the worst in my original review.

posted 7 months agoApologies for causing confusion; the extension does not require a sign-up. You can use it without an API token. The API token field is for people with an active subscription. The free trial is for our API product and shouldn’t be used in the extension; the extension works without an API account and is completely free.
Extension users are subject to the add-on's privacy policy. Website sign-ups are not required to use the add-on.
(Thanks for taking the time to review! It’s valuable to know people might think a token is required; we’ll make changes to make it clear that it’s not.
Users can also reach us at hello@audd.io).
If there are any particular songs AHA recognizes that we don't, please also let us know- our music recognition accuracy should be higher on average

BUT, JFYI, song recognition on some sites, like twitch is PAID and on some other sites (like top-radio.ru) it is just dont working ("start error: can't find any unpaused media elements", its said).. - Rated 1 out of 5by Jensen, 16 days ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by Twink, a month agoThe only time I've ever bothered giving an add-on a review. How do you ruin a perfectly functional add-on this badly?

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14630718, a month agoглючное какое-то. После запуска попытки распознать музыку на странице в ютуб, напрочь пропадает звук и пока не отключишь расширение - так и не восстанавливается.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Dax, 2 months agoNice job fixing it, or maybe I accidentally troubleshot, but now instead of muting the audio, I can still hear it when the extension is running. Thank you!

- Rated 1 out of 5by Foorty, 3 months agoDoesn't seem to work on any site I've tried and would be useful on. It just permanently mutes the tabs, even if i go directly to the media file in a new tab the same happens. Only place where i got it to work on is youtube, except why would i need this for youtube only?
Basically it's completely useless. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 5549291, 3 months agoUsed to be great. Now fully mutes websites upon use, while also not being free on Twitch anymore. Nice while it lasted!
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14350702, 3 months agoThe AudD AddOn used to be great, but now it's buggy to the point of being unusable. Every time you try to analyze music, the browser tab is muted and you have to completely reload to get sound again. Very cool for streams... not!
