posted 5 months agoHi there,
We apologize for causing confusion. The extension does not require API tokens or signing up to work. The API token field is for people with active API subscription. Please remove an API token from the settings to freely use the extension.
We also sincerely ask that you don’t sign up for multiple API accounts. It is unnecessary (the extension works without a token!), creates a significant financial burden on our side (we have to pay to Auth0 for users), and violates our terms of service.
We will make it clearer in an update.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Dax, 10 days 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, 12 days 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, 19 days 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, 19 days 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!

- Rated 3 out of 5by Samg381, a month agoI have two complaints with this plugin. The first issue is with respect to the pricing and API configuration- the setup of which is somewhat convoluted for most users, and there is no free tier, similar to Shazam, and it is unclear what benefit the API key brings, or when it is active / actively assisting recognition, or disabled or invalid. My second issue relates to the muting issue, where your browser tab stops producing audio when the recognition button is pressed. This probably has something to do with the way this app handles audio pipelines in the browser, but it is annoying nonetheless. Other than that, this plugin works mostly well, and I appreciate the developers for maintaining it.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13331269, 2 months agoEven after the last update there is still problem in many sites. Now add-on doens't give result or mutes site and a refresh of the site is required/ For example: www.kusc.org, strummerradio.com, jazz.org
- Rated 3 out of 5by NicCrimson, 2 months agoWorks really well, Recently there is a bug where it mutes the tab's audio when searching and has to reload to get back audio. Also can't use because of error:
"Recognition failed: authorization failed: no api_token passed and the limit was reached. Get an api_token from dashboard.audd.io and make sure you're passing the token in the `api_token` parameter." - Rated 1 out of 5by IndiePat, 2 months ago"Requires" very suspicious optional permissions it will prompt you for such as accessing data for all websites. It works perfectly fine without the permission so I worry it is selling information.

posted 2 months agoYou can find the extension's source code at https://github.com/AudDMusic/firefox-extension.
On many streaming websites, the audio source is in an iframe/embedded content, which the extension can't access to record audio without that permission.
The only information the extension sends us is information about the current tab when the add-on is opened and the corresponding recorded audio.
We do not sell any user information. - Rated 5 out of 5by GODIE, 2 months ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by Mijehake, 2 months agoMutes audio in the browser in which you are trying to record for recognition, have to reload page for this..

posted 2 months agoYou don't need to have an API token to use the extension. Apologies if the interface is not clear on that. The field to provide an API token is only for people who otherwise have an API account and, e.g., want to use the extension for work purposes. If you don't have one, you can leave the field empty and use the extension completely for free. - Rated 2 out of 5by umadkek, 2 months ago
- Rated 3 out of 5by AndyArtistics, 2 months agoThis worked completely fine, and technically still does, but now whenever I use it completely cuts the audio so i can't hear anything until i disable and reload a tab
