Music recognition. Like shazam or soundhound.

Features & Capabilities

Song Identifier is a Chrome extension designed to recognize music playing on any website, functioning much like popular apps such as Shazam or SoundHound. After installing, users can simply navigate to a video or audio playing site like YouTube, play the media, and click the Song Identifier button to start a countdown that listens and identifies the track. While it works broadly, some websites like SoundCloud stream audio differently, which may limit recognition capabilities.

Users are encouraged to register for a free account on acrcloud.com, which provides 100 daily music ID queries, helping prevent overuse of the default shared account. The extension requires minimal permissions to function, primarily to listen to active tabs and save user preferences for a seamless experience. With straightforward setup and use, Song Identifier is an efficient tool for music discovery right within your browser.

User Reviews

User feedback is mixed. Many praise fast, accurate identifications and long-running reliability, especially after setup. However, a dominant issue is daily/account usage limits that block further use. Reliability is inconsistent, with misses or misranks on many songs. Technical glitches (UI unresponsiveness, network errors) and privacy concerns about third-party data sharing further dampen the experience. Overall, it can perform well, but daily limits and reliability issues limit its usefulness.

Pros

Very fast and accurate song identification (even from short audio).
Longstanding reliability and positive reputation among users.
Can work well after account setup, unlocking fuller use.
Some reviewers consider it among the best music recognition extensions.

Cons

Daily or per-account usage limits that trigger 'limit reached' messages.
Inconsistent recognition: often misses songs or misidentifies tracks.
Technical issues: unresponsive plugin button, network errors, and related reliability problems.
Privacy concerns: may require sharing personal data with third-party sites.

Is Song Identifier 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.

Song Identifier requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Low Request access to the following domains: acrcloud.com

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Song Identifier is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
