Review Summary
Users appreciate Chromesthesia's ability to identify obscure and rare songs quickly, its open-source nature, and ease of use without invasive permissions. However, consistent issues include the need for a longer listening period for accurate recognition, occasional audio distortion when capturing songs, and technical recognition failures due to API token problems. Some also note interface issues and desire improved linking to original song sources rather than generic YouTube searches.
Pros
- Effective at recognizing obscure or rare songs after a few tries or short listening segments.
- Open source with no data collection or intrusive permissions, enhancing user trust.
- Generally accurate and reliable for recognizing music, including various genres like classic rock.
- Easy to use and works as expected in identifying songs from audio.
- Able to identify songs quickly in many cases, even from short fragments.
Cons
- Requires a certain duration of audio to recognize songs; short clips or very brief snippets may not be identified reliably.
- Audio distortion occurs for a few seconds when starting to listen, especially when playing YouTube videos simultaneously.
- Recognition failures occur related to API token issues, causing the extension to not function correctly at times.
- The interface is considered suboptimal or 'broken' by some users and sometimes fails to display text properly.
- Limited ability to link directly to the exact source of the song; currently only searches on YouTube which may not lead to the original track.
