Why Use This Tool?
When you hear a song and cannot name it, an audio identifier can match it against a global music database. Uploading a short clip is often faster than describing the melody or lyrics to a search engine.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What audio formats are supported?
- MP3, M4A, OGG, and MP4 files are accepted. Shorter clips of 10–30 seconds usually give the best results.
- Is my audio file uploaded to a server?
- Yes. The audio clip is sent to the Shazam recognition service for identification. FTools does not store your audio files.
- Does it work with live recordings or covers?
