> These requests do go out:

> Shazam (Apple): a short signature of the music app's sound, not the audio and never your mic, to name a song OnKey hasn't learned when the music app doesn't say what's playing.

> LRCLIB: the song's artist, title, album and length, to fetch lyrics.

> iTunes Search and Lookup (Apple): an artist and title, or the ID Shazam returned, for covers and the song's length. The cover images come from Spotify's, Apple's or YouTube's image hosts.

> GitHub: a check for a new version a minute after launch and once a day, and its download.

I really appreciate this level of transparency. Wish it was the standard.
