Tuneo — Identify Any Song Playing in Your Browser

Tuneo is a Chrome extension that identifies songs playing in your browser tabs — think Shazambut built as a Manifest V3 extension. Tap the listen button, wait 8 seconds, and get the song title, artist, album art, and streaming links.

The extension uses the AudD music recognition APIto fingerprint audio captured from the active tab via Chrome's tabCapture API. Results are cached in memory to avoid repeat API calls for the same song.

Architecture

Tuneo follows Manifest V3 best practices. The popup (360×420px) handles the user interaction — a listen button with a gradient animation, recent matches, and a pin button to open the side panel. The side panel shows full history with search, CSV export, and expandable result cards with album art and platform links.

Audio capture runs in an offscreen document — the only extension context allowed to hold a live tabCapture stream in MV3. It records an 8-second clip, converts it to a data URL, and sends it to the background service worker, which calls the AudD API. If the popup closes mid-recognition, the offscreen document continues, the background saves the result to storage, and shows a rich toast notification at the top-right of the page.
