The information in the About section for the extension is outdated.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

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Tutorial is outdated because acrcloud looks different now.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.

Pretty fine

Ive only used it once so far but it worked immediately (on youtube).

Great extension. Shame Firefox is kinda bad at recognising media sources and it does not work in some iframes.
To everyone complaining, I hope you learn to read before complaining about Premium plans that don't exist or rate limits. The description literally says how to solve the rate limit issue.

The extension Works except when I used it today (10-22-23) the extension said "Default account limit exceeded for today. Check options page." and I haven't used this entire day

Works great. Better than shazam, dare I say. The access key thing is slightly tricky to set up but if you even slightly know what you're doing you'll be able to get it done in like 8 minutes.
The automatic Soundcloud lookup link is very much appreciated.
Great extension :)

Found correctly few songs, event a not popular one

please make the instructions more clear -
IF i make account on the acrcloud, do i need to do ANYTHING more?
- your about page about this extension IS WAYY TOO cluttered with info, please, its great tool, just clear up instructions?
will it work after free trial ends on acrcloud?
i go your github homepage i dont know anything about nodes npm etc - coding in general

Works on first use as long as you stay on the same page. Have to disable the add-on and refresh page in order to hear audio again when navigating away. Annoying, but not a big deal since I only wanted to enable it when needed. You don't have to refresh the page after enabling in order to use which is good enough for me.

i try a music and can not identifier

easy to use, found the song instantly on YouTube, but it causes a small bug where the website was muted until refreshing. I'd say it's not a big issue, and it works perfectly otherwise.

Works perfectly, but require 1.1-1.5GB RAM to work (maybe its combined with 2-3 more addons), is there any way to lower this number?
