What MuID is

MuID is a free, open-source Android application for identifying music. Recognition uses ACRCloud APIs, while JLyrics APIs provide lyric searches and Deezer APIs retrieve song cover art. The app therefore combines track identification with related lyric and cover information. MuID is hosted as a public GitHub repository, where the project lists an MIT license and Java as its implementation language. GitHub identifies Mostafa Hazem as maintainer, and that profile lists Dubai, UAE. Android is the listed platform, with mobile support also specified. The repository page lists no releases, so the project page is the stated distribution location. Identification history is listed as available. MuID’s scope remains focused on recognizing songs, searching lyrics, and obtaining cover images rather than broader music management. Its free and open-source status may suit Android users who want to inspect or use a small project whose functions depend on the named online APIs.

Who it suits
