How it works

  1. Paste a video link

    Music videos, vlogs, DJ sets, Shorts — any YouTube, TikTok, X or Facebook link works.

  2. We scan the audio

    tunescout samples short snippets across the video and fingerprints them against a database of millions of tracks. The video never has to play.

  3. Get your tracklist

    Every recognized song, each with a timestamp that jumps straight to the right second — plus links to Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music and SoundCloud.

Why tunescout

Frequently asked questions

How do I find out what song is playing in a YouTube video?

Paste the video URL into the box above and hit Find songs. Quick mode names the main song in a few seconds; a full scan goes through the whole video and returns every recognized track with timestamps.

Can it identify background music behind someone talking?

Yes — that’s our specialty. Use Deep analysis with a Quick or timestamp scan and tunescout uses AI source separation to remove the voices, then fingerprints the remaining instrumental. It regularly finds songs that are inaudible to normal recognition.

Does it work for DJ sets, mixes and compilations?

Yes. The full scan samples the video at regular intervals and builds a tracklist with a timestamp for every song it recognizes — ideal for reconstructing set lists.

Do I need an account, extension or app?

No. tunescout runs entirely in your browser tab from a single text field. We don’t ask for an email, and there’s nothing to install.

Does the video play while it’s being analyzed?

No. tunescout fetches only the few seconds of audio it needs, directly — which is why results usually arrive faster than the music would take to play.

Why wasn’t my song recognized?

Recognition matches against a database of released music. Royalty-free stock tracks, unreleased edits and very obscure productions may simply not be in there. Try a full scan for more sampling points, or use Deep analysis with Quick or a timestamp to isolate faint background music.

Is tunescout free?

Yes — free while in beta, with no account and no usage caps. If we ever add paid features, the basics you see here stay free.
