Some details on how this works: https://twitter.com/rtwlz/status/1840821351055311245

    The phone has a Tasker script running on loop (even if
    the battery dies, it’ll restart when it boots again)

    Script records 10 min of audio in airplane mode, then
    comes out of airplane mode and connects to nearby free
    WiFi.

    Then uploads the audio file to my server, which splits it
    into 15 sec chunks that slightly overlap. Passes each to
    Shazam’s API (not public, but someone reverse engineered
    it and made a great Python package). Phone only uses 2%
    of power every hour when it’s not charging!
