Could be possible to integrate the Option to listen the music from bluetooth HeadPhones or By Browser?

Hello @marin-m , you are the legend man, I was looking something similar to SoundHound or Shazam for Linux and....boom I jumped into your amazing project. Really thanks for this precious Milestone in Linux world.

Now, let's share the point, I was with my earphones to watch some video in internet, and it was a video with great Music in background, and I noticed as an example Shazam can recognize the Audio even when you are by Bluetooth earphone/Headphones. Not sure which method it's using to read the Audio datas if from the OS audio management before arrive to the Bluetooth Audio Hardware or from the Bluetooth Hardware into the phone before arrive to the Bluetooth Earphones... Do you thing it's that easy to implement this future, or even by selecting the app that produce the audio from the system (before arriving to the device) to let it recognize what kind of song it's playing?

Hello,

You may be able to do this using the "pavucontrol" utility for Linux (it's a graphical frontend for PulseAudio, which is the audio routing system used by most distributions, although these may replace it with PipeWire in the next years). Let me know if it works.

Thank you replay me back @marin-m , I need to test, is that pavucontrol for pulseaudio ?

Sory for the silly question, but the Ubuntu default control it's doesn't make the same job as pavucontrol?

pavucontrol is designed for PulseAudio, PulseAudio is bundled with Ubuntu.

PulseAudio allows you to choose an input device for each sound recording application launched on the machine (it has a "Recording" tab that allows this when applications like SongRec are launched - input devices starting with "Monitor of" mean that you're recording the output, i.e. the sound originally going to the speakers, instead of an input device like the microphone).

Ubuntu's volume control tool doesn't allow this.
