YouTube Song Finder

YouTube Song Finder

Find background music in a YouTube video or Short. Paste a public link, choose where the music starts, and check a short audio sample for a song title and artist. This YouTube song finder supports videos up to 10 minutes long.

Use m:ss. Leave blank to use the link timestamp, or the beginning.Use a YouTube video no longer than 10 minutes.

Audio is processed for this request. Temporary clips are deleted after processing.

01

Copy the YouTube link

Open the video, choose Share, and copy the link to that specific video.

02

Find the song

Copy the specific video link, then check up to 15 seconds of its audio. YouTube accepts an optional start time so you can skip an intro.

03

Review the match

If there is a match, compare its title and artist with the clip before saving the result.

Find background music at a specific timestamp

If the song starts at 1:20, enter 1:20 in “Music starts at” before running the search. Leave the field blank to use a timestamp in the link, or start at 0:00 if none is present. Kabo checks up to 15 seconds from that point, rather than scanning the whole video.

YouTube Shorts song finder by link

Copy a public Short’s link from its Share menu and paste it into the same finder. Recognition uses the clip’s audio, not its title or channel name. You do not need to convert the Shorts URL into a standard video link.

Read the song match, not just the video title

A song match comes from the audio sample, not the video title, channel name or description. YouTube music credits and Shorts sound labels are not currently retrieved by this finder.

No match? Try another part of the video

Move the start time to a section with clearer music and less narration. If it still does not match, check the description and pinned comments for credits, or search a lyric you can hear clearly. A service-unavailable message means the request could not complete; it does not mean the song is unknown.

Frequently asked questions

Can I find a song that starts later in a video?

Yes. Enter the time as m:ss, such as 1:20. An entered time overrides the timestamp in the link. The start must be before the video ends, and the whole video must be no longer than 10 minutes.

Does it work with YouTube Shorts?

Use a public YouTube video or Short no longer than 10 minutes. Each request checks one sample of up to 15 seconds, not every song in the video. Live, private, deleted, age-restricted or region-blocked videos may be unavailable.

Does it identify every song in a video?

No. Each request checks one sample of up to 15 seconds, not every song in the video. A match only describes what the recognition service found in that sample.

Can it recognize a remix, cover or sped-up song?

Choose clear music with less speech or noise. Covers, sped-up edits and remixes may return the original recording or no match. Check the result by listening.

Can I download the music here?

No. This page identifies music and lets you copy the text result. It does not provide an audio download, file upload, microphone input or humming search.
