PyShazam

PyShazam is a Python script that uses the Shazam API to capture audio from a microphone, identify the song being played, and display its album art cover. The script runs on Raspberry Pi or macOS devices.

Requirements

Python 3.7 or above
pyaudio library for audio capturing
wave library for working with WAV audio files
shazamio library for interacting with the Shazam API
Pillow library for displaying album art images
pydub library for audio file handling
time library for managing delays
urllib library for opening URLs
os library for file operations

Installation

Install Python 3: Visit the official Python website (https://www.python.org) and follow the instructions to download and install Python 3 for your operating system.
Install the required libraries: Open a terminal or command prompt and run the following command to install the necessary libraries:

pip install pyaudio wave shazamio Pillow pydub

Usage

Make sure you have a working microphone connected to your Raspberry Pi or macOS device.
Run the pyshazam.py script using Python:

python pyshazam.py

The script will start capturing audio from the microphone for 10 seconds at a time.
After each audio capture, the script will send the audio data to the Shazam API for song identification.
If a match is found, the script will display the album art cover of the identified song.
The script will wait for 10 seconds before capturing audio again.
To stop the script, press Ctrl + C in the terminal or command prompt.

Customization

You can adjust the duration of each audio capture by modifying the capture_audio function in the script.
Additional customization options can be explored by referring to the documentation of the used libraries:
