Music Genre Finder & Identifier — What Genre Is This Song?

Frequently asked questions

How accurate is the genre classification?

Genre tags from Spotify are curated by algorithms and editorial review, making them reliable for established artists. For newer or niche artists, tags may be less specific. AI-inferred genres use audio feature patterns to fill gaps and are best treated as educated suggestions.

What audio features are analyzed?

We analyze BPM (tempo), musical key, energy, danceability, valence (mood), acousticness, instrumentalness, speechiness, liveness, and loudness. These features are extracted from Spotify's audio analysis engine which processes the full waveform of every track.

Why are some genres labeled "AI Inferred"?

Spotify assigns genre tags at the artist level, not individual tracks. When an artist has no genre tags, or when audio features suggest a sub-genre not covered by artist tags, our system infers likely genres based on BPM, energy, and other characteristics. These are marked separately so you know their source.

How is this different from Spotify's genre tags?

Spotify lumps tracks into broad artist-level genres like "house" or "techno". This tool analyzes the specific track via audio features, so you get subgenre precision (e.g. deep house vs tech house vs organic house) for that exact song — even if the artist is normally tagged as something else. It also returns BPM and Camelot key alongside genre, which is actionable for DJ planning instead of decorative.

Can I classify multiple tracks at once?

This tool classifies one track at a time for maximum accuracy. For batch genre analysis of a whole set or playlist, run an Instagram or SoundCloud analysis — every track it discovers is genre-classified automatically. You get 3 free analyses per month; after that, credits are $4.99 for 10, one-time, no subscription.
