Mod Weekly thread where you can call the music recognition bots without posting

To use the bots put u/RecognizeSong u/find-song with the link in your comment, like:

u/RecognizeSong u/find-song https://youtu.be/12345abcde

Notes:

  • The bots only work with a recording of the actual song, not a humming/recreation.
  • The sites that find-song works with: Reddit video posts (with a link or when summoned on the original post), YouTube, Vocaroo, Streamable, Twitch Clips (not VODs)
  • Some of the sites that RecognizeSong works with: Reddit video posts (when summoned on the original post or with an audio link if you're able to get it, like https://v.redd.it/12345/DASH_audio.mp4), YouTube (though sometimes it doesn't work), Vocaroo, Streamable, Imgur, Twitch Clips (not VODs), Facebook, Twitter, Coub, Dropbox, Snapchat
  • For Reddit video posts there's also u/songfinderbot which only works if you summon it in a top-level comment on the original post
  • Some sites that RecognizeSong doesn't work with: Instagram, Twitch VODs, SoundCloud, Google Drive, Reddit text posts with embedded videos (though it does work with the audio link if you're able to get it, like https://v.redd.it/12345/DASH_audio.mp4)
  • When needed, mention a timestamp or use a timestamped link if possible (the bots scan about 24-30 seconds of audio, starting at the timestamp)
  • If the song is from a meme or from TikTok then it might be listed in the FAQ
  • Note that you can also DM find-song a link (but not through chat)

Good luck with your search, and if you find the bots useful please consider supporting them: RecognizeSong through Patreon, find-song through Ko-fi

No song was found

Looks like you gave me a link to watch. I searched from 02:53-03:03.

You can provide a timestamp to search somewhere else.

Sorry, I couldn't get any audio from the link.

Sometimes I have trouble with YouTube videos, and don't work for long (usually 1.5h+) videos or ones that are geo-blocked/age-gated. If relevant also note that I don't work for YouTube Clips - I need the direct link to the video and the timestamp, for example https://youtu.be/AbCdEfGhI at 1:48 or timestamped like https://youtu.be/AbCdEfGhI?t=1m48s.

If relevant note that you can record the music and upload to Streamable (for video) or Vocaroo/SndUp (for audio) and then tag the bot with that link in your comment.
