Mousai For Linux

One wouldn't be out of place in saying that Shazam is a revolutionary app.  Ever since its introduction into the music scene, and our lives, millions and millions of people have used Shazam to discover their favorite music, and it's still going strong today.

What if you want a similar app, but for the desktop? More specifically, for your Linux? The answer is Mousai, a stylish and efficient, little app that allows you to discover songs by pressing a single button.

Before everything else, we have to point of that Mousai uses the audd.io API, one of the best music recognition APIs out there.

Hence, the app is capable of identifying the title and artist of most songs within seconds. The app stores all identified songs including the album art in the History section. There's also an optipon that allows you to preview the identified song with your prefered or default music player.

The best thing about Mousai is that it allows you to retrieve songs using two audio sources: your computer's microphone or audio from the desktop. As far as we can tell, they both work flawlessly and are equally fast.

As mentioned before, AudD is a the music recognition API that makes Mousai work. The developers of the app recommend that you log into the API's site to get more trials, if needed.

It's also worth checking out AudD's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service before using this app.

To conclude, Mousai is a very nice little app that does its job right, while managing to look right at home on most Linux distributions. It makes it effortless for you to discover music and songs by using either your computer's microphone or grab the audio from the desktop directly.
