Full-set identification from a hundred-plus platforms: pay for the hours you actually process, and the result exports anywhere.
Identify My MixTrackSniff and setlist.id solve the same problem differently
Last updated
TrackSniff, like setlist.id, analyzes the full length of a DJ set. Paste a YouTube, SoundCloud, or Mixcloud link, or upload an audio file, and it returns a timestamped tracklist with BPM, key, and confidence scores, with a free tier on monthly allowances.
The differences show up at the edges of that workflow. setlist.id reads links from more than a hundred platforms rather than three, which matters the moment the set you want lives on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Vimeo, Dailymotion, or Hearthis. Pricing is metered by the hour of audio rather than per scan: bundles start at 5 hours for $6, the hours never expire, and any stretch that cannot be identified is refunded automatically instead of being spent.
The output goes further too. Every identified track carries links to YouTube, Spotify, Deezer, and Beatport plus album and label data, and the finished tracklist exports to your clipboard, a .txt file, a YouTube chapter format built for video descriptions, or directly into a playlist. One constant applies to every tool in this category, including this one: unreleased music has no fingerprint in any database, so nothing can name it until it comes out.
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
If your mixes only ever live on YouTube, SoundCloud, or Mixcloud, TrackSniff's free tier can be enough for an occasional scan.
setlist.id comes in when the source is anything beyond those three platforms, when you would rather pay for the hours you actually process than do per-scan math, or when the tracklist needs to go somewhere: a YouTube description, a text file, a playlist, or a crate-digging session that ends on Beatport.
Frequently asked questions
How is setlist.id priced compared to a subscription tool?
setlist.id is not a subscription. You buy hours and spend them when you have something to identify: 1 hour of identification time covers 1 hour of audio, the minimum charge is 15 minutes, and bundles run 5 hours $6, 20 hours $22, 100 hours $100 in US dollars. Hours never expire, so a quiet month costs nothing, and any part of a mix that cannot be identified is refunded automatically.
Do both tools have the same accuracy?
Every fingerprinting tool depends on its database and its segmentation, and results vary set by set for all of them, so no head-to-head number holds up. setlist.id runs its own recognition algorithm with partners including ACRCloud and Shazam, commercially released material identifies reliably, and no tool in this category can identify unreleased music. When identification fails, the hours refund automatically.
Can I upload a local audio file to setlist.id?
setlist.id works from links rather than uploads: paste the URL of a mix on any of 100+ supported platforms. If your recording is local, uploading it to SoundCloud or Hearthis as an unlisted track first takes a couple of minutes and works well.
What does the YouTube chapter export do?
It formats the tracklist as one line per track with the timestamp first, the format YouTube descriptions turn into clickable chapters, so DJs can paste a finished, navigable tracklist under their own uploads.
