    I love SongRec, feels like it can spot out most things instantaneously and even can find obscure songs that use the same sample as a more famous one
    Linux, not Android, option to use microphone or desktop audio

    I think there wont really be a good alternative any time soon, because those services need to be trained. You might find some open source shazam client.

    i’ve been looking for an good alternative for shazam for a long time but i haven’t found anything. the only good alternative is the one you mentioned first but it’s just a modded version of google pixel’s now playing.

  • Someone can correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t Shazam’s usefulness come from its enormous database of fingerprinted music and not the fingerprinting software it uses to create it? I’m sure you could find FOSS that fingerprints music, but it would be useless without a gigantic database to search.
