User Reviews
AudD's Firefox extension is praised for usable song recognition on YouTube and live streams and as a helpful, cross-browser music finder. However, many users report a paywall requirement, inconsistent identification accuracy, and disruptive issues on streaming sites (muted audio, Netflix UI problems). Regional restrictions further undermine access. Overall, its value depends on whether it works reliably for the user and their region, with subscription pressure a major downside. Pros
- Generally effective song recognition on YouTube and live streams when it functions.
- Regarded by some users as the best music finder they've found so far and very helpful.
- Cross-browser convenience as a Firefox extension, with users noting it works across different browsers.
Cons
- Mandatory subscription/paywall to continue using features.
- Inconsistent recognition performance; often mediocre or fails to identify songs.
- Causes playback or site UI issues, including muting audio and Netflix controls being obscured.
- Regional restrictions / sanctions blocking service in certain regions (geo-blocking).

Was nice free music identifier for firefox. Now requires registration with gmail only (don't allow any other emails).
Datagrabbing trash like that can burn in hell.
I would put 3 stars because sometimes it works-sometimes isn't.
Right now i can't recommend it because now its just another privacy violation service.

Excellent extension, it met my needs perfectly. It can identify songs directly from YouTube with precision, including some that are not available on streaming platforms.

Is AudD® Music Recognition Safe?
Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
AudD® Music Recognition requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
