************

In short

To find out what song is playing, record a 10–15 second voice message while the music plays — or forward the video, round video note or audio you heard it in — to the free bot @SongFinderMusicBot. It replies with the title, the artist and the cover, with buttons to open the track on YouTube, Apple Music or Spotify. In a group, reply to the recording with /song.

What gives the best result

|  | Tip |
|---|---|
| Length | 10–15 seconds is enough; the bot listens to up to three 12-second parts |
| Sound | Loud music, nobody talking over it |
| Sources | Voice message, round video note, audio file or video up to 20 MB |
| Cost | 1 of 30 free recognitions a day; if nothing is found, the try is usually not counted |

## In a group chat

Add the bot to the group, then reply to any voice message, video note, audio or video with /song. If the group has other bots, write /song@SongFinderMusicBot.

## Frequently asked questions

**Can it find a song from a TikTok or Instagram video?**

Yes, if you have the video file: save it and send it to the bot, or forward it if it is already in Telegram. The bot needs the sound, not a link.

**Is it free?**

Yes. 30 recognitions a day are free.

**Where does my recording go?**

To find the song, the bot sends up to three 12-second clips to the AudD and Shazam recognition services. The recording is deleted after the reply; the song found is cached for up to 7 days, not linked to you.

**Do I need Telegram Premium to use @SongFinderMusicBot?**

No. @SongFinderMusicBot works for everyone, with or without Telegram Premium. Free: 30 songs a day.
