CHOOSE YOUR METHOD
Which way of searching fits your clue?
Start with the strongest clue you have. A recording is usually more specific than a hummed tune, a tune more specific than a lyric fragment, and a lyric more specific than a general description. The table compares what each method needs and where it tends to fail.
| Method | What you provide | Best when | Main limitation | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Audio | A recording of the song, ideally 10–15 seconds of the chorus | Music playing now or saved in a file | Speech and noise over the music; covers and remixes | 3 credits on a match |
| Video | An MP4 or WebM clip under 5 MB | Background music in a short video | Dialogue mixed over the music; edited speed or pitch | 3 credits on a match |
| Humming | Your own hum of the melody, up to 20 seconds | A remembered tune with no words and no recording | Unsteady pitch or timing; short fragments shared by many songs | 3 credits on a match |
| Lyrics | A fragment of the words, even approximate | A distinctive line you remember | Common phrases and misheard words | 3 credits on a match |
| Description | Voice, era, genre, instruments, scene and source | When there is no sound and no words | Least exact; results are leads to check | 3 credits on a match |
Searches that return no result are refunded automatically. Read the step-by-step guide to identifying an unknown song if you are not sure which clue to start with.
Choose the tool for the job
To identify an unknown track, start with actual audio, a video, humming, lyrics, or a description. To understand a known file, use BPM & Key Finder, Music Analyzer, or Mix Checker; those tools process audio locally and never upload it.
BPM Tapper measures your taps without a file. Similar Song Finder resolves a known track against public catalog and community genre data, then returns related candidates with listening links.
