I use Audire from F-droid. It relies on the APIs of Shazam and AUDD. But it's a FOSS app, there is no account to log into, and I'm running it on Graphene so it's also sandboxed and permissions restricted.

Just to confirm, you mean Audile, right?
That.. Sounds AMAZING. thank you! You're the winner ;D
Google Pixel has a standard "Now Playing" feature that is using on-device recognition. Well, you have to trust Google on that, though.
Audile is open source and on bdroid. Here is their privacy policy: https://github.com/aleksey-saenko/MusicRecognizer/blob/master/PRIVACY.md
Nice! I didn't know clients depending on Shazam could send fingerprints only, that's great in terms of privacy!
yeah Audile is awesome
You can just ask me, I’ll tell you.

Musicbrainz Picard. This is the only way I can wedge Linux into this conversation. On a less privacy focused method, I use the music identification on my Google Pixel
