Audile

Abstract

1. Introduction

Audile is an open-source music recognition app that can help you quickly and accurately identify a music track playing near you. The app integrates AudD, ACRCloud, and Shazam for song identification, and uses Odesli to retrieve platform-specific track links.

F-Droid releases cannot be upgraded to other releases as they are compiled and signed by F-Droid.

2. Objective

An open-source Android app for music recognition that integrates AudD, ACRCloud, and Shazam to perform song identification.

This project demonstrates how Kotlin, Android, Jetpack Compose can be applied to a real-world Mobile App Development problem.

3. Key Features / Modules

• Background Usage - Use the app seamlessly from the notification drawer, home screen widget, floating button, or quick settings tile. Manage the recognition process and obtain track information without launching the app.
• Track Information - Upon successful recognition, the app provides information about the track, including the title, artist, album, release year, artwork, lyrics, and links to the track on popular music services.
• Library - All recognized tracks are stored in the app library. You can filter the track list, create a favorites collection, search for tracks, or delete tracks.
