About SongRec

SongRec is an unofficial Shazam client for Linux, written in Rust. The homepage describes it as a way to identify songs using the Shazam service on a Linux desktop. It is not made by or affiliated with Shazam.

The homepage lists several installation routes: Flathub (for all Linux distributions), a Launchpad PPA for Ubuntu 24.04 and later, the Arch Linux extra repositories, the Snap Store for Ubuntu, Windows x64 installers and a standalone EXE, or compiling from source. The homepage refers to a GitHub readme for the full feature list and how the software works. Bug reports and feature requests go through GitHub issues, with a Matrix channel as a secondary option. The homepage notes that messages sent to the Matrix channel may be forgotten.
