A setlist.fm alternative for DJ mixes
setlist.fm answers what a band played last night. For what a DJ played, the answer has to come from the audio, and that is what setlist.id reads.

Last updated
setlist.fm is the standard for concert setlists. Fans document what a band played, song by song, and the model works because a concert is a sequence of discrete, already-known songs with clear boundaries: the singer announces it, the crowd recognizes it, someone writes it down.
DJ sets break those assumptions. Thirty or forty tracks blend into each other with no boundaries and no announcements, half of them are obscure by design, and the DJ may be the only person in the building who knows what any of them are. So electronic events on concert-setlist sites often sit empty or hold three tracks out of forty: memory-based documentation cannot capture a continuous mix.
setlist.id gets the setlist from the recording instead. Paste a link to the set, from YouTube, SoundCloud, Mixcloud, or any of more than a hundred platforms, and audio fingerprinting identifies every matchable track with the exact timestamp where it plays.
You do not have to take the output on trust: setlist.id publishes what it identifies. Every public set carries its full tracklist with a timestamp on each track, and the same catalogue reads by DJ or channel and by festival, club night or radio show.

When to use which
For a rock, pop, or any band-led concert, setlist.fm is the right tool and this site is not trying to replace it. Its community model fits music where songs are discrete and recognizable.
For a DJ set, a festival stream, a club night, or any continuous mix, use setlist.id. If a recording of the set exists at a public link, the tracklist can be generated from the audio in minutes.
Frequently asked questions
Is setlist.id affiliated with setlist.fm?
No. setlist.id is an independent product by Skylight Studio. The names overlap because both deal in setlists, but setlist.fm documents concerts through fan submissions while setlist.id identifies tracks in DJ mixes through audio fingerprinting.
Can setlist.fm show DJ set tracklists?
Pages for electronic artists exist there, but they are usually sparse or empty because the fan-memory model cannot capture a continuous mix of mostly unannounced tracks. The reliable route to a DJ tracklist is analyzing the recording itself.
Does setlist.id work for live band concerts?
It can identify commercially released studio recordings played within any audio, but live band performances differ from the studio versions fingerprints are built on, so concert recordings match far less reliably than DJ sets playing released tracks. For band concerts, setlist.fm remains the better tool.
What does setlist.id cost?
You buy hours rather than a subscription, and spend them a recording at a time: 1 hour of identification time covers 1 hour of audio, with a 15-minute minimum. Bundles are 5 hours $6, 20 hours $22, 100 hours $100 in US dollars, hours never expire, and anything that cannot be identified is refunded automatically.
