### 5/5 — Amazing addition to WNP

*2026-07-05*

Works perfectly. Identifies even rare tracks on vinyl, and passes it off to What’sNowPlaying. Developer is super responsive and available via discord.

### 1/5 — Perfect when it works

*2026-06-26*

Could be me, but it worked for a while, then stopped. When it worked, it exported song data to my Twitch overlay very quickly. Wish I could find more info on troubleshooting this. One star, sadly, because it won’t run.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 2.0 — 2026-08-06

Track identification, rewritten.

EarShot 2.0 confirms tracks by waiting for several matches to agree instead of a fixed timer — far more accurate during DJ sets, remixes, and mixed audio.

- Live progress: watch identification happen — "Matched: Title (2/4)" shows matches accumulating until a track is confirmed and sent.
- New setting — Matches to confirm (3–10): fewer for faster updates, more for tougher material like club mixes.
- New auto-stop durations, from 1 minute up to 4 hours.
- Apple Watch: settings sync automatically from your iPhone.

### 1.3 — 2026-07-07

* Fixed spurious 201s

### 1.1 — 2026-06-19

Improved album metadata including album name, track number, and release date by connecting to the Apple Music catalog.

### 1.0 — 2026-05-15

No release notes.
