Audile

Audile is a music recognition application for Android. It captures a short sample of whatever is playing nearby through the device microphone and reports back what the track appears to be, so the usual workflow is a single action: start listening, wait a few seconds, read the result. It is published by Aleksey Saenko under the GPL-3.0-or-later licence, which means the source can be read, modified and redistributed under the same terms.

The app fits the narrow case of identifying a song you can hear but cannot name — music in a shop, a radio segment, a video soundtrack playing on another device. Because identification is based on an audio sample rather than a local library scan, the app depends on microphone access and on a network connection at the moment of recognition; it is not a tool for tagging files already stored on the phone.

Distribution is Android-only. There is no desktop counterpart, so users who want the same function on a computer will need a different application.
