SongRec is an open-source Shazam client written in Rust that recognizes songs from audio files or the microphone. It offers both a GTK GUI with recognition history and a command-line interface, and is available via Flatpak, Snap, and native packages.

Use cases

  • identify a song playing from my speakers on linux
  • recognize music from an audio file
  • continuously detect songs from the microphone
  • export my recognized song history to csv
  • shazam alternative for linux desktop
  • find what song is playing using command line

When to choose

  • you need song recognition on Linux with a GUI or CLI
  • you want to identify music from files or microphone input
  • you want an open-source Shazam client with history export

When to avoid

  • you need fully offline recognition (it relies on Shazam servers)
  • you need a mobile song-recognition app
  • you are on a platform without builds and cannot compile Rust
