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
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
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.
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.
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.
Audire
Audile
Found these two apps here: Open Source Everything
