About Guess the Song
Guess the Song is a web-based song identification tool. You can hum about 15 seconds of a melody you remember, or upload an audio file, or record surrounding sounds with your microphone to search for a song. The browser prepares a sample of up to 20 seconds and sends it to a third-party recognition service for matching. The official site states it is free: uploading, recording, and searching require no account and no payment; to keep the recognition service available, searching has a usage rate limit, and once you reach it you must wait one minute before trying again. Unreleased songs, live versions, heavily edited remixes, or tracks that are not in the provider's catalog may fail to match, so you can retry with a clearer clip and confirm that the selected mode is correct.
