they make you pay to use it

The information in the About section for the extension is outdated.

An older review has the following instructions which nearly got me to get it working, but I still got an invalid error when I attempted to play the song despite setting up a host, access key and secret. Someone else may have the instructions to help get past the last step.

For visibility purposes, here is what the older review said:

A lot of people are having trouble setting up the account here is how to do it.
1. Go to console acrcloud dot com
2. Create an account.
3. Select your geographical region
2. Click 'Audio & Video Recognition' then 'Projects'.
3. Select 'Audio & Video Recognition' again and click 'Create Project'.
4. Any name will do, select 'Recorded Audio' and 'ACRCloud Music' as the bucket, allow all 3rd party integration.
5. After creating project there will be 3 text strings to copy into the options portion of the Song ID extension. Copy the 'Host', 'access key' and 'secret key' to the corresponding entries.
6. If the project 'Status Check' is 2/2 with a tick mark next to it you have done everything correctly.

You DO NOT need to create a custom bucket for Song ID to work.

hope someone else posts how to finish it from there so future users know what to do.

ass

you have to sign up to their garbage website that requires a plethora of your data (email, phone number, country, etc.) use shazam on your phone.

I've been trying to find this one goddamn song for like YEARS now, Shazam worthless. Aha? even more so, but now I can finally listen to Shawn Wasabi - Mac n' Cheese

Animation Meme Archivers, please find and link the og songs, goddamn it.

no way im gonna pay for it

Works really good with you tube, but some times after searching ended site get muted and have to refresh again to fix.

this one sucks

works even on less popular songs and remixes, great 5/5 very simple even provides you with a link to the song on youtube

works well when you actually set it up (which many of the 1-star reviews didn't do)

Works perfectly. Identifies the song very quickly, even in the background or with a very short sample. It isn't perfect every time, but no music ID is.

You just need to follow the easy instructions. It seems like every 1 star review is from people who didn't follow the instructions.

Works great, since i immigrated from chrome cus removing adblockers was my last straw i needed app like this, i used AHA music on chrome.
Tutorial is outdated because acrcloud looks different now.

4 stars for having to open media in private window.

A lot of unfair 1 stars from people that can't follow instructions. Doesn't recognise every song.

First attempt, complete success. I clicked on the extension's icon at 9:50 of this Youtube video: F-22 Raptor Vs Su-30SM Flanker-H Modern Thrust Vectoring Dogfight | Digital Combat Simulator | DCS | and the music was almost immediately identified as Battlefield 4 "Warsaw" theme.

says "Default account limit exceeded for today. Check options page." even though i haven't used the extension in days. absolute rubbish waste of time

Funktioniert NICHT

funciona pero pocas veces , a veces ni captura el audio , le falta maduración al proyecto
