| Fact | Annie | SongRec |
|---|---|---|
| Audio recognition | Annie uses built-in Shazam integration to capture and identify music playing around you. | It recognizes songs from audio files, a microphone, or speakers. |
| Privacy | The privacy policy says the app may collect anonymous queries and shared-link activity for service improvement and says collected data is retained only as long as needed. | The project says SongRec collects no data, contacts no servers besides Shazam, and uploads fingerprints rather than raw audio. |
Annie suits everyday listeners, artists, playlist curators, and DJs who want to identify tracks or share listening links across services. An account is useful for people who want saved finds and playlist syncing.
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.
