  title: AudD Music Recognition Lyrics API
  description: AudD is a music recognition service. The API identifies songs from an uploaded audio file, a remote audio/video URL, or base64-encoded audio and returns rich track metadata. It also supports recognition with offset (including humming/singing) and lyrics search. All methods authenticate with an `api_token` and accept either form-encoded or multipart/form-data input.
