About songspot

Hear less. Know more.

songspot is a free browser-based music guessing game built around a simple question: how little of a song do you need to hear before you recognize it?

Every round begins with a 0.1-second audio clue. If that is not enough, you can unlock progressively longer clips, search for the title, and see how quickly your ears connect a beat, instrument, vocal, or production detail to the right track.

Why we built songspot

Music recognition is most exciting in the instant before the answer clicks. We created songspot to make that moment easy to revisit: no download, no required account, and no need to wait for a single daily puzzle.

The game is designed for quick solo rounds, friendly score comparisons, music-trivia practice, and casual name-that-tune sessions with other people.

What makes it different

• Progressive clues: Start with 0.1 seconds, then reveal only as much audio as you need.
• Unlimited practice: Keep playing new rounds instead of stopping after one song.
• Flexible challenges: Choose a difficulty, decade, genre, or artist collection.
• Fast title search: Find and submit the intended song without turning spelling into the challenge.
• Browser first: Play on desktop or mobile without installing an app.

Our product principles

Keep the music at the center

The interface stays focused on listening, guessing, and learning the answer. Controls are kept direct so each round feels immediate.

Make challenge settings meaningful

Difficulty describes recognition challenge, not simply whether a song is obscure. Collections are intended to give players recognizable ways to explore eras, genres, and artists.

Respect players and rightsholders

songspot uses short third-party music previews and catalog metadata where available. Music, artwork, artist names, and related trademarks remain the property of their respective owners. songspot is an independent game and is not endorsed by or affiliated with those rightsholders unless expressly stated.

Improve with real play

Catalog coverage, answer matching, clip behavior, accessibility, and device compatibility can always improve. Player feedback helps us decide what to refine next.

Choose the kind of listening you want to practice

• Recall a title: the clip challenge starts with 0.1 seconds and lets you search for your answer. Wrong guesses and skips reveal 0.5, 2, 8 and finally 15 seconds of the same clue. The stage scores are 1,000, 800, 600, 400 and 200 points; an unresolved round scores zero.
• Recognize a title among alternatives: Song Guesser presents ten songs with four choices per question. You have fifteen seconds to answer once playback starts. This is useful when a tune feels familiar but its title will not come to mind.
• Compare a shared daily challenge: Daily Challenge uses a UTC-based daily schedule. Its leaderboard is separate from casual practice, so a score from the ordinary clip game is not a daily ranking.

The music quiz directory groups listening collections by genre, decade and artist. A collection's play button opens the clip game with that selection. The four-choice links open a different exercise with answer options. Choose the mode first, then the music you want to explore.

What goes into a collection

The game combines catalog metadata and preview availability with song selections, collection rules and recording checks. A song can fit more than one genre, so adding category counts together does not give a count of unique songs. A displayed count describes the currently available collection, not an artist's entire discography or a promise that every track will appear in a short session.

Different editions can represent the same musical work. Our selection logic groups common release annotations and excludes unsuitable versions where its rules identify them. This reduces repetition, but metadata and version matching can still be wrong. The answer reveal and linked music service help you check the recording you heard. A publicly accessible preview is not, by itself, proof of permission for every possible reuse.

For practical listening exercises, read the collection notes for rock, hip-hop, electronic music, K-pop, R&B and pop.

If a round does not work as expected

If there is no sound, press Play once, check the tab and device volume, and confirm that audio is not being sent to a different Bluetooth device. Wait for a loading indicator to finish before trying again. If a specific preview remains unavailable, report that track; clearing all browser data should not be your first troubleshooting step because it can remove game progress and your daily player session.

For a wrong title, duplicate recording or incorrect collection, send the page URL, song and artist shown at the reveal, chosen mode and a short explanation to support@songspot.co. For playback problems, include your browser, device and approximate time. Do not send passwords, session cookies or account tokens.

Rightsholders can use the same address to report a music, artwork or attribution issue. Include the affected URL, the work concerned, your relationship to its rights and a way to contact you. This gives us the information needed to investigate a specific report without asking you to send the recording itself.

Privacy and access

The core game can be played without creating an account. We aim to collect and retain only the information reasonably needed to operate, protect, and improve the service. More detail is available in our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
