This plugin can create fingerprint for any music file you wish to know about and request its metadata from AcoustID, libre and open source fingerprinting service.

Vanilla Music
Music player with a simple interface similar to the stock music player. Supports browsing by folder, queueing, shake-to-skip and more. Supports the same audio formats as the stock music player since the system media APIs are used. This is a fork of https://f-droid.org/packages/org.kreed.vanilla which is no longer being developed by its author. We keep that in the repo as it supports Android versions below 4.0.3.
