3 Stars out of 5

Review by SJoe

EDIT / UPDATE: Hi, thank you for your answer! :) My Firefox version is always up-to-date (118.0.1) OS: Windows 10 22h2 (19045.3516). I use an external TB sound card: Focusrite Clarett 4Pre.

- - -
I wanna try your extension with this podcast : https://www.radiofrance.fr/franceculture/podcasts/serie-howard-becker-sociologue-en-marges (or any other podcasts from the same site) but each time I click on the AudD icon, the playing stops completely. The reading looks paused (...or frozen ?).

Whatever the order of actions (for example, click on the extension icon first, then hit "play" on the website, or vice-versa), it seems impossible to, at the same time, play the podcast AND have the extension activated.

I authorized all cookies in the extension's settings, and my adblock is deactivated.

Almost forgot, other example : I wanna use your extension with a musical tv steaming site (you can't access this site, but it's a very common tv channel's site like many others), here your extension seems to work... but recognize absolutely nothing. I tested it with many french video clips of several genres, not a single result.

So finally, for me, the real use cases for this extension are very limited. How do you explain these bugs?

Thanks for adding the info on the browser/OS/sound card. As it works for us on the website, it's likely an issue with Firefox somehow not capturing audio it's sending to the sound card. Can you please try to disconnect the external sound card and then use the extension? If it works, please let us know, we'll then try to figure out what exactly Firefox does with the sound card and how to fix it and capture audio.

Works fine at first then requires a subscription to continue working - AVOID!!

I found Librezam is an alternative that doesn't need a subscription to function.

Only mediocre at recognizing songs. Eventually asks me for an "API token" because my limit was reached. GTFO.

It works majority of the imes and I install it in every browser I use. No idea why it has only 3 stars, deserves atleast 4 imo.

edit: oh apparently it bugged out a few months back so thats why it has 3 stars. In its current state its a 5 star for me.

A bug, not an intended behavior. We're investigating (thx to a user who reported this on GitHub issues).

Could you please share your browser version?

Asking for money for new features? Fine. Changing the main feature of the software, that was previously free, to now being paid-access-only? No. You're gone.

Broken and returns the error message:

An unexpected error occurred during recording: ReferenceError: elemForRecording is not defined

Sometimes just doesn't do anything at all.

Can you please update the extension? The bug should be fixed in the latest version.

(The bug led to the video appearing in front of the controls. Sorry for messing up the Netflix interface and making you go through the trouble of figuring out the cause.)

Causes bugs on netflix even when not activated for song search, renders the whole platform basically disfunctional.

Edit: I don't remember it causing any problem on youtube or other video playing websites. But netflix was the only platform which uses DRM. Not sure if it's related.

The addon got fixed, most of the 1 star are just talking about it or have unupdated clients.

Best music finder I found so far, great work!
