How do you do to recognize a song is playing around you?

In the past, I have been using SoundHound (and also Shazam) in order to recongnize songs playing around me, but now I have not installed these apps. I haven't found anything similar but Opensource... What apps/strategies do you use to recognize songs around you?

Maybe see if Audile is any good?

Be aware:

This application uses AudD service as a primary Music Recognition API. Please note that AudD service is not free, and you will need a special API token provided by the service to use this application. If you don't have an API token, you can sign up for a trial one.

There is also the option to use the app without a token, but please note that this will significantly restrict the number of daily recognitions that can be performed. Please keep in mind that this behavior is not guaranteed by the service and can be restricted at any time.

I can definitely relate to this and for me, I value my freedom and privacy more than the convenience that proprietary apps give me so I just went back to the old fashioned way of searching up whatever lyrics I could identify. If it's an instrumental song, depending on where I am, I could sometimes ask an employee what playlist they were using.

android 15 beta has this out of the box..
I saw this when i installed android 15 beta on an old device to see what it looks like.. its a pixel phone i use for tests and to satisfy my curiosity.
of course i swiftly disabled the option as you basically allow google to record your conversations. and its shown there and you have to agree before using it.

Apparently that is a feature of the google app beta.

it is a good or perhaps not so good thing you don't have to rely on other apps to extend your attack surface... its up to you and your threat model to answer that.

i know, me too...keep your friend close and your enemies closer that is what i have sandboxed phones where i can see what they do and offer.

the most private way is find the origin of the song and go ask the dj/clerk which song is it.

Shazam.com works without an account.

Not as fast to open but much more privacy-respecting than using the actual app, and way better than any open-source alternative. Just add the PWA and you're good to go.
