Hi! :) First of all, thank you for your work!! :)

I'd like to know if it is possible to get this app in apk or in the F-Droid store?

Thank you in advance

Hi there :) You're welcome and thank you for the question. I'm glad you've taken an interest in the project.

Unfortunately, the app cannot be made available via APK or on F-Droid in its current state because it's missing the parts that make it work.

Shazam integration would require connecting to their servers and every way to do so requires payment.
Audd.io integration requires an API key that can also only be obtained by paying. They used to have a clause on their website that hinted at a free plan for projects that are open source and benefit society, but they have since removed it and haven't returned my messages.

This is why it can't be done at the moment. But I am on the lookout for a free song-recognition API, so if anyone has a suggestion, I'm all ears!
