## What it is
Ambient Music Mod is an Android app that ports the Pixel-exclusive Now Playing feature to other Android devices, using Shizuku or Sui for elevated access. It provides automatic on-device music recognition, recognition history, favourites, and optional Google Assistant-backed on-demand recognition.

## Use cases
- identify songs playing around me automatically on my android phone
- get now playing on my lockscreen like a pixel
- see a history of songs my phone heard
- recognize a song on demand with a widget
- run music recognition locally without sending audio to the cloud
- change the music recognition database to match my region

## When to avoid
- your device is a Pixel that already has Now Playing built in
- you cannot or do not want to set up Shizuku/ADB or root
- you need continuous recognition of obscure songs not in the local database
