I know that I can use the official Shazam app, but the fact that I use a closed-source app, having almost all my apps open-source, that really bothers me 🥲

You could try Audile if you don't mind switching away from Shazam. I don't use the app heavily, but it has worked great for me.

The only issue with Audile. Is that you have to sign up for AudD. The cheapest option is $5/month. If you use it a lot, then that could be worth it. I would like to find an open source replacement for SoundHound, but since I only use it, maybe 10 times a year, it isn't worth $60/year.

You only need a subscription if you use it over 300 times per day (or week, I can't remember). I haven't needed an API token and have been using it with no account successfully.

You dont need a Token if you need very few songs

You can use open source Firefox to access it

This doesn't really bother me to be honest... it's music after all, everyone benefits from it, even if they have some of my data and use it.

I will have to thank you for the info though... about the app I mean... I was looking for something like that to run on Linux ☺️.
