Love that - thought about sharing your source for any of us interested in doing this in our city? Fund idea

I bet the hardware will take a bit more - the script could be just something like https://github.com/loiccoyle/shazam-cli running every minute and, when there's a valid result, upload to your backend/Sheets API/Telegram bot etc

Pretty sure Apple and Google already do this, just to all phones, in all homes, and not just for music, but your entire life! No consent needed. Have a nice day! :)

Comments like this worry me that HN is being dragged down with the wider culture wars and truthiness that’s destroying all that we have. I would hope for better in this forum.

Have you seen the latest YCombinator batch?

How is he wrong though? "Bad vibes" all you want but there is a reason. The golden ages are over.

How do you get the data out of the Shazam app (?)

I was wondering the same. Also curious about those battery stats: > Battery currently at 80% (a decrease of 6% in the last 4 hours). That's gotta be an OLED screen at lowest brightness or, even more likely, a fully black overlay app since the mic is constantly active and either locally processing it into Shazam and streaming fingerprints or (less cpu, more network) streaming it to a server which then does the process…

They likely removed the screen entirely

What has happened to HN commenting?

Everyone is trying to make reddit hot take comments with a sneer as they type it out.

Anyways. This is a cool website.

I was on the ground in SF yesterday and this caught a pro-Trump car convoy blasting God Bless America yesterday so it definitely can work if cars are blasting music. Certainly an interesting project.
