Find your favorites song in a Shazam-like flavored experience

Installation

Chrome Web Store

Or you can freely test it by building the extension and load the unpacked version (located in build folder)

$ yarn
# install dependencies

$ yarn build
# build production-ready files into a 'build' folder

In Chrome web browser

  1. Go to: chrome://extensions
  2. Toggle: "developer mode" on
  3. Click on: "Load unpacked"
  4. Select the newly created folder "build" from the project folder

Firefox and other browsers

Because I'm using the tabsCapture API to record sound from a tab, it is currently supported only in Chromium based browsers 😭

Usage

Just click the big 'Record' button, and wait until it recognize the sound. You can stop it by yourself, but remember that the longer you wait the greater the chance of finding a song will be.

Shortcuts

By default, use Ctrl+Shift+X (or Command+Shift+X on mac) to start the recognition process in background, without opening the popup. A small badge will indicate the new recognized sounds. The shortcut can be freely re-assigned in your browser shortcuts preference panel. You can use it to toggle the recognition procession (so it can start / stop the recording)
