Audile vs Shazam

Audile is a free, open-source Android app for identifying music playing nearby. It can send recognition requests to AudD or ACRCloud, or use Shazam; Odesli helps retrieve links to recognized tracks on different music services. Recognition can start with one click, and a recording can be saved for later recognition when the device reconnects to the internet. Users can also start recognition from the notification drawer, home screen widget, floating button, or quick settings tile. Track details may include title, artist, album, release year, artwork, lyrics, and service links. Its library keeps recognized tracks and supports search, filtering, favorites, and deletion. Audile says it does not use ads, tracking, analytics, or user profiling. For AudD or ACRCloud, recordings of 3–10 seconds are sent to the selected service; Shazam receives audio fingerprints generated on the device. Crash reports are not sent automatically, though users may email reports containing device and crash information. AudD requires a paid service token, and recognition without one is significantly restricted and not guaranteed. The listed Android requirement is version 8.0 or later.
