About Mousai
Mousai is an open-source application that identifies songs, similar to Shazam. The user clicks the listen button, waits a few seconds, and the application shows the title and artist of the song. It can recognize music from desktop audio or from a microphone.
Recognized songs can be added to a list of songs the user has identified. Songs can also be saved for later identification when the computer is offline. The interface allows a short preview of a song and links to listen to it through different providers. Recognition is carried out through the AudD music recognition API, and the project notes that more trials require logging in to the AudD site. Users who want to understand how audio and data are handled should review AudD's privacy policy and terms of service, which the project links to. The source code is licensed under GPL-3.0.
