Worked great the first few times I've used it, but now whenever I try and identify a song on YouTube (and other sites) using this, I get this 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."

What should I do because I don't want to pay for the API thing?

edit 2/23/2025: it somehow started working again I guess? the audio mutes when I activate the extension but it actually recognized some of the song I played.

inept adware

Didn't work 20% of the time.
Didn't give me the right song 50% of the time.
And gave me songs that didn't exist 30% of the time.

Two stars because it at least worked once.

I was using aha-music before this and this addon has really opened my eye with just how awful aha is. This extension finds exact songs that are exclusive to websites I haven't even heard of before, nuts

This has identified 1 song ever

Was skeptical at first because of the amount of one stars, but it actually works great. Has given me no problems whatsoever.

Changed 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.

Doesn't work on Reddit. It just says "start error: can't find any unpaused media elements." when a video is playing.

Music recognition works pretty well, but I think the widget could use some UI improvements. Like managing individual songs from the history (not just clear the entire list) and also a way to just view the list even if current tab is still playing music. Also synchronizing listening history across different devices would be great.

This addon is magical. It identifies background music/score from youtube videos and matches it *to the exact second of the original music* and then redirects me to a page that has multitude of options where I can hear the original music. Absolutely love this addon!

The extension used to work perfectly, but since I changed computers the extension doesn't recognize anything at all.

Funciona :)

Una mierda de extensión, no reconoce nada.

work thx

works like a charm, even when searching for unpopular songs, remixes or instrumental versions!
