av Firefox-brukar 12744283, 3 år sidanIn my previous review, I gave this extension a 1-star rating due to a bug that required a subscription to perform any actions. However, I believe the issue has since been fixed, so I decided to give this extension another try.
According to the addon description, it claims to "Identify any music from any website in your browser." One might assume that this means you can freely identify any song on any page, considering the extension is open-source and the developer has a donation link on the page. Unfortunately, that assumption is incorrect. It does work for free on YouTube and Twitch (and possibly on some other websites), but on any other site, an active subscription to the service is required. Regrettably, the developer failed to disclose this information in the description.
Regarding YouTube song recognition, I attempted to identify songs on lofi girl music streams (both lofi and synthwave radios), but it failed most of the time. This was surprising, given that it was practically the same use case as shown in the demo video.
For standalone songs, the recognition works fairly well. However, when there is someone speaking over the song, such as in let's play videos or on Twtich streams, its reliability significantly decreases, even for popular music. Based on my limited testing, it was able to identify only 2 out of 10 songs in different attempts. That's quite disappointing.

posta 3 år sidanHi, thanks a lot for the update!
- There are 10 websites where the extension is not supposed to work without an API token, to prevent people (usually, employees of these websites' owners) from using the extension for work. The list:
"watzatsong", "coub", "gyrostream.com", "cms.onerpm.com", "rumedia.io", "decabroda.studio", "adsintegrity.net", "file:///", "v16-tcs.tiktokcdn.com", "rmxindia.in", "vk.com".
The extension should work on any website that doesn't have any of these strings in the URL.
Can you please send us a link where the extension refused to identify the song? This is likely a bug (perhaps a false positive match with the strings above?). Our email is firefox@audd.io.
- Regarding YouTube streams, some of them broadcast songs that are "not copyrighted"/were not released on digital platforms, and unfortunately we don't have them in our DB.
- 2 out of 10 songs with people talking over is quite a low number; can you try increasing the recording length in the settings to 12 seconds and see if that improves?
We really appreciate you giving the extension another try and making the update!

- Vurdering: 5 av 5av OKRA, 13 dagar sidanIt works majority of the imes and I install it in every browser I use. No idea why it has only 3 stars, deserves atleast 4 imo.
edit: oh apparently it bugged out a few months back so thats why it has 3 stars. In its current state its a 5 star for me. - Vurdering: 1 av 5av Soup, 13 dagar sidanHas not been able to recognize a single song I tried identifying.

Edit: No longer breaks netflix.Svar frå utviklaren
posta 6 månader sidanCan you please update the extension? The bug should be fixed in the latest version.
(The bug led to the video appearing in front of the controls. Sorry for messing up the Netflix interface and making you go through the trouble of figuring out the cause.) - Vurdering: 2 av 5av buraky, 6 månader sidanCauses bugs on netflix even when not activated for song search, renders the whole platform basically disfunctional.
Edit: I don't remember it causing any problem on youtube or other video playing websites. But netflix was the only platform which uses DRM. Not sure if it's related.Svar frå utviklaren

Starting with version 3.2.4, audio should not be muted on any websites, and audio recording should work perfectly almost everywhere, including basically all video players.
Thanks for taking the time to write the review! It marginally prompted us to actually spend effort figuring out the issue, getting help from the community, and finally fixing it. That took hundreds of lines of code.- Vurdering: 5 av 5av tankistren, 7 månader sidanPerfect, got it yesterday for my browser, it had trouble with muting videos, but at the same day I got this add-on this problem get fixed, so now it's perfect for finding songs. Thank you developers for this add-on, cause it really sucked to not have normal song identifier in Firefox.
UPD:
Don't know how to answer normally, so I'll just update my review.
Well that's interesting, because from my side, only thing that I did was turning off then on add-on. Actually at add-ons manager at firefox, it's saying: "Last Updated July 7, 2025", so I thought that something changed from your side.Svar frå utviklaren
posta 7 månader sidanThanks a lot! Can you please say more about what fixed the problem for you? Because we didn't change anything and still need to address the bug
Edit: we had updated the extension description, but not the extension itself.
(That said, we're releasing a new version that should hopefully fix this issue for everyone.) - Vurdering: 1 av 5av Firefox-brukar 19096994, 7 månader sidan
