| Fact | AirScrobble | SongRec |
|---|---|---|
| Privacy | The press kit says the app does not store recordings or share discoveries with third-party services. | The project says SongRec collects no data, contacts no servers besides Shazam, and uploads fingerprints rather than raw audio. |
| Purpose | AirScrobble identifies music playing around you and can log discoveries to Last.fm. | SongRec is an open-source Shazam client for Linux, written in Rust. |
AirScrobble suits iPhone and iPad users who want to identify music and keep a discovery history. It may also suit Last.fm users who want scrobbling, Shortcuts, or Apple Music links.
SongRec suits listeners who want Shazam-based song recognition on a desktop, whether through a GUI or command line. It may also suit developers who want CSV or JSON results for programmatic use.
