MusicRadar - Identify music

MusicRadar - Identify music is an open-source music recognition application for the Linux desktop. It records audio from a microphone or from sound produced by other applications on the system, then uses that recording to identify the music playing. It is listed in the Music & Audio category and is intended for people who want to identify songs while using Linux.

Identification results can include the song title, artist, album, and album art. The application saves a history of music searches, allowing previously identified items to be consulted again. For an identified song, it can play a preview, search for the song on YouTube, or open it directly in Spotify. Dark theme support provides an alternate visual presentation for the interface.

Microphone input is suited to music heard around the computer, while system recording is suited to sound coming from another application. These two recording options cover music captured from the surrounding environment and music already playing on the Linux system. The available follow-up actions connect identification with previewing and searching for the result.

MirrorNest distributes the official Linux build directly from its own storage. The mirrored build is scanned for malware before it is published in the catalog. The product's platform, open-source license, and Music & Audio classification make its catalog entry relevant to Linux users seeking music identification software. Shazam and BandLab are included as keywords for the product.
