If someone doesn’t know what Shazam is, it listens to music playing on the radio or TV and identifies it and helps you find the name/artist.

I was wondering if there open source equivalent, I tried searching google and AlternativeTo but only found Linux desktop apps.

    Uninformed copyright law speculation

    I think that’s true about being expensive/difficult to maintain, but while IANAL, a hash of music is not the music itself, something that can be converted to music, or in any way protected by copyright AFAIK.

      I’d agree about the database probably not being copyright, but I was more talking about getting access to the music to convert in the first place.
