Any foss versions of shazam?
(lemm.ee)
They're free for now because the API they use is in beta... We don't know if it'll remain free.
Like most things in life theres no free cpu cycles. They all have a cost somehow
Free software can make money and be sustainable.
So someone is paying - theres allways a cost
Yes, exactly - The assumption that FOSS means that there is no financial support is practically archaic. I pay for any software that is useful to me, and many other people do too. There's donations, perks, exclusive content that subsidizes the core work, there are grants, etc.
It insists it need to send notifications for it to work. I get it needs the microphone, but it won't work without notification permissions.
I don't get this at all
The notification stays on in the background and allows you to tap it whenever you need an instant recognition...
Note that the clients being FOSS is of little relevance because all they do is forward a recording to a blackbox proprietary service run by a for-profit company.
The code that has access to your audio and does the actual task at hand is not FOSS in the slightest.
Seconding Audile, it's great
There's Ambient Music Mod, "Port of Now Playing from Pixels to other Android devices". It's not the same, but it allows for your device to recognise popular music even while offline, possibly on a regular basis. It requires Shizuku, though.
Wow looks great doesnt seem to be on fdroid tho
Audile is on F-droid, though it uses AudD for the actual music recognition backend. I'm not sure it's possible to have a FOSS backend for this kind of service.
If you ever feel limited by F-Droid, consider Obtainium. Supports F-Droid repos, and many others including straight from GitHub releases.
That was such an awesome movie
Shaq's best performance.
On and off the court
