Terms of Service

Last updated: October 12, 2026

1. Acceptance

By accessing or using setlist.id, or by creating an account, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the service. setlist.id is operated by Skylight Studio LLC.

2. The Service

setlist.id is a track identification service. You submit a URL pointing to audio or video content hosted on a supported third-party platform. We extract and analyze the audio using audio fingerprinting technology to produce a timestamped list of identified tracks. Results are delivered when processing completes.

Account creation is open to anyone with a valid email address. A promo code is optional and, when redeemed from your account page after registering, grants bonus hours to your account.

3. Accounts

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials. You must provide an accurate email address at registration. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms.

You must be at least 16 to create an account, and at least 18, or have a parent's permission, to make a purchase.

4. Hours, Plans and Billing

setlist.id is paid for with hours. You buy hours in one-off bundles at the prices shown on the pricing page. One hour of identification time covers one hour of audio. Each mix costs its length, with a minimum of 15 minutes, and the cost is shown before you unlock it. Where we cannot read a mix's length in advance, we charge 2 hours up front and adjust to the actual length when processing finishes. Hours do not expire. When a mix finishes, the share of it we could not identify is credited back as hours, and a mix that fails outright is credited in full. Hours have no cash value. Except as required by law (see section 4A), purchased hours are not refundable, transferable or exchangeable, and any remaining hours are forfeited if you delete your account.

Existing monthly or annual plans continue on their current terms. A plan includes a fixed number of sets per billing period. A set unlocks one mix, and mixes over 4 hours count as 2. Sets reset each period and do not roll over. Plans renew automatically at the then-current price until cancelled. You can cancel at any time from the billing page; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current period, and no partial-period refunds are given except as required by law.

Payments are processed by Stripe. By paying you also agree to Stripe's terms of service.

4A. Right of Withdrawal (EU, EEA and UK Consumers)

You may withdraw from a purchase within 14 days without giving a reason by emailing play@setlist.id. If you asked for your hours or plan to be available immediately and acknowledged losing this right, the right ends once you start using them. If you withdraw after partial use of a plan, we refund the unused proportion.

5. Permitted Use

You may use setlist.id only for lawful purposes. You must not:

  • Submit URLs to content you do not have the right to analyze.
  • Use the service to infringe the intellectual property rights of any third party.
  • Attempt to circumvent access controls, reverse engineer, or scrape the service.
  • Use the service in any way that could damage, disable, or overburden our systems.
  • Resell or redistribute service output commercially without our written permission.

6. Third-Party Content

setlist.id processes audio from third-party platforms based on URLs you provide. We do not host or distribute the underlying audio content, and any copy we keep is described in our Privacy Policy. You are responsible for ensuring that your use of those platforms and any content you submit for analysis complies with the terms of those platforms and applicable copyright law.

Where a mix can be played back on setlist.id, it plays in the platform's own embedded player, streamed from the platform and never from us. setlist.id uses YouTube API Services to provide that player. By using setlist.id you also agree to the YouTube Terms of Service, and information collected by that player is handled under the Google Privacy Policy. Playback from other platforms uses each platform's own embedded player under its own terms.

Artist and tracklist pages on setlist.id are unofficial. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting for any artist, DJ, uploader, label or platform named on them, and naming one is a reference to whose recording was analyzed, not a claim of any connection. Cover artwork and mix thumbnails shown alongside results are served by the platform or music service that hosts them and remain the property of their respective owners.

7. Recognition and Music Data

Track identification on setlist.id runs on our own recognition system. It is what breaks a set into segments, decides what to test and when, judges which candidate matches to believe, and assembles the timestamped tracklist you receive. That system is the service you are paying for.

Where our own matching cannot resolve a passage on its own, it draws on third-party recognition services to supplement the result. ACRCloud is one of those services, and its terms require us to say so here:

Music Recognition byACRCloud

ACRCloud describes itself as follows:

“ACRCloud utilises patented Automatic Content Recognition (ACR) technology to enable the generation of a unique real-time fingerprint to identify in a matter of seconds, the content being played via an audio or video source which is typically a first screen, in order to trigger an action. With proprietary audio identification technology, ACRCloud's is able to identify millions of hours of content in both a manageable and efficient manner that is highly relevant for advertisers, broadcasters, video streaming providers, music services, consumer electronics manufacturers and app developers. ACR's fingerprint library includes 100 million audio tracks, which is one of the biggest in the world.”

A finished tracklist also carries metadata, cover art and streaming links drawn from several music services. Each is credited where it appears: when a track is matched on one of these services, the result carries that service's own mark, linked to the track on that service.

  • Apple Music and ShazamKit: Apple's ShazamKit is another of the services our system calls on, and where a recording it returns is available on Apple Music the result links to it there. We do not use ShazamKit results to build or improve any other recognition service, and setlist.id is not offered for music licensing, royalty auditing or any other compliance purpose.
  • Spotify: track metadata and cover art supplied by Spotify appear with the Spotify mark and a link back to the track on Spotify.
  • SoundCloud: where a mix or track comes from SoundCloud, the uploader is credited as its creator, SoundCloud is credited as the source, and the page links back to the sound on soundcloud.com.
  • Deezer, Beatport and the Cover Art Archive: cover art, release details and purchase links come from these sources and are linked back to them in the same way.

Those services are independent third parties. Naming one, or showing its mark beside a track, identifies where the data came from and is not a claim of any affiliation with or endorsement by it. Cover artwork remains the property of its owner and is served by the service that hosts it.

ACRCloud is an independent third party and is not affiliated with Skylight Studio LLC beyond supplying one of the services our system draws on. What is sent to them, and what we keep afterwards, is set out in our Privacy Policy. Their own handling of it is governed by the ACRCloud Privacy Policy.

8. Copyright Complaints

We respond to notices of claimed copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If you believe material on setlist.id infringes a copyright you own or represent, send a written notice to our designated agent with the information required by 17 U.S.C. 512(c)(3): your signature, identification of the work, the URL of the material, your contact details, and your statements of good-faith belief and of accuracy under penalty of perjury.

Every public tracklist and artist page also carries its own removal link, which reaches the same address. We remove or disable access to material that is the subject of a complete notice, and we will tell the account holder who submitted it. If you believe material was removed in error you may send a counter-notice to the same agent.

Repeat infringers. We terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who repeatedly submit material that infringes the rights of others. Submitting a URL you have no right to analyze, after being told so, is grounds for termination without refund.

9. Intellectual Property

The setlist.id service, including its software, design, and branding, is owned by Skylight Studio LLC. Track identification results are produced by automated processing and are provided for personal, non-commercial use.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

setlist.id is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee that identification results will be accurate, complete, or error-free. Track recognition accuracy depends on source material quality, mix complexity, and track availability in the recognition database.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Skylight Studio LLC shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of or inability to use the service. Our total liability to you for any claim shall not exceed the amount you paid to us in the 12 months preceding the claim.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms. For material changes we will email account holders at least 14 days before they take effect. We will update the date at the top of this page when changes are made.

13. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, USA, and disputes go to the courts of Miami-Dade County. If you are a consumer in the EU, EEA or UK, you also keep the protection of the mandatory laws of your country and may bring proceedings there. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have as a consumer that cannot be limited by contract, or our liability for death, personal injury, fraud, or gross negligence.
