Audire

Audile

Found these two apps here: Open Source Everything

They're free for now because the API they use is in beta... We don't know if it'll remain free.

[-] Oisteink@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago

Like most things in life theres no free cpu cycles. They all have a cost somehow

[-] gedaliyah@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Free software can make money and be sustainable.

[-] Oisteink@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

So someone is paying - theres allways a cost

[-] gedaliyah@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] ElPussyKangaroo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

The notification stays on in the background and allows you to tap it whenever you need an instant recognition...

Thank you for referencing my list! In case anyone wants some extra info: The frontends for Audire and Audile are open source. Audire uses the proprietary Shazam API, but Audile uses the open source APIs AudD and ACRCloud.

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

[-] Onihikage@beehaw.org 12 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[-] lemmyknow@lemmy.today 11 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 5 points 2 weeks ago

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

I love FOSS but honestly why does this need to be FOSS?

[-] refurbishedrefurbisher@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 2 weeks ago

It is an app that has access to both your microphone and the internet.

[-] muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee 7 points 2 weeks ago

Cos id like to get my phone as close to pure foss as possible

[-] Akasazh@feddit.nl 2 points 2 weeks ago

Becoss

[-] beyond@linkage.ds8.zone 1 points 2 weeks ago

Why does it need to be proprietary?

[-] GravitySpoiled@lemmy.ml -3 points 2 weeks ago

If they have nothing to hide, they have nothing to fear. Just publish the code.

[-] asap@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

They may have nothing to hide but they have IP to protect to stay in business. What a ridiculous thing to say.

[-] GravitySpoiled@lemmy.ml -1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

whatsapp doesn't have the best app. It doesn't look the best, it's not the fastest. It was just very great back in the days. But not anymore. Whatsapp could easily publish the code. It's not the client, it's the server. They could even publish the server code. It's not the code itself. It's the people using it.

[-] AustralianSimon@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

They don't lock out third party apps and slow down reverse engineering by giving their code away.
