How to find music from a VK video - searching for your favorite song using a link without knowing the title and artist

Many users, when shooting videos, use music inserts or overlay compositions as a background for the entire video. In this case, often neither the title of the track nor its artist are indicated in the description, creating a problem with the search. It is with the solution of such difficulties that we will help you in the course of today’s article.

AudD

The easiest and fastest way to find out what music or song is playing in a video from VK is to use an interactive online service, or simply a bot that recognizes audio messages.

A user who prefers the “stationary” version of VKontakte can find the original music from the video as follows:

On the page that opens, in the “Communities” section, select the first group in the list with the same name.

On the community page, click on the “Write a message” button located in the upper right corner - or, if you need a “full-format” communication, open the link with this title in a new tab.

If it is possible to turn on the music of interest from a video from a mobile device or another computer or laptop, press the microphone button and record an eight to ten second voice message for the bot.

If this is not possible or you want to hum, or even hum, a melody, click on the “Humming recognition” button and do it.

Depending on the permissions the user has set, he may need to additionally grant permission to record from the microphone - in most cases, however, this is given by default.

After 8–10 seconds have passed, you can interrupt the recording by clicking on the button with a square at the left end of the line and send a voice message to the bot.

Processing the file will take a few seconds, after which.

...AudD or will offer several of the most suitable, in his opinion, options that could be original music.

Or he will give one single answer.

Or it will report that it was not possible to recognize the melody - this happens much more often than one might expect.

To search for songs from a video, there are simple methods and complex ones that require time and computer skills. The first include 3.

By the name of the video, film, brand from advertising. Open the music section, enter known information into the search bar and view the results. The likelihood is low, but sometimes conscientious video creators upload the soundtrack mentioning the name of the work.
Via Shazam. Download and install the application on your smartphone, start the video and play the composition. When the service determines the artist, simply use the search for audio recordings on the social network.
By the forces of other people. Open the comments to the videos and look for messages with information about the track or the audio recording itself. If you don't find anything, ask. Perhaps one of the users is familiar with the composition and will help with the search.

None of the options worked - go to the complex method of finding a song from a video on VK. To search, you will need a computer and programs to convert the video into audio formats. The process itself takes place in 4 large stages: saving video, extracting music, analyzing the composition and searching for a track on the social network.

Downloading videos

To begin, the video with the audio you are interested in must be saved to your PC. To download, use suitable services and browser extensions. As an example, let's take a vlog from YouTube:

Click on the “Share” arrow below and copy the link to the video.
Go to the service https://getvideo.org.
Paste the link to the YouTube video into the appropriate field and click “Download”.

Information about the video will appear below the link form. Select format, quality and download. The service allows you to save videos without registration.

Extracting Music

Launch the video to audio converter. Anything similar in functionality to AIMP or Xilisoft Video Converter will do. Upload the file to the program, select conversion to MP3 and start the process. When the video is converted into a track, trim the excess in an editor like Gold Wave. Save the section for the next step.

Composition Analysis

Use online music recognition services:

Follow the link https://audiotag.info or any similar portal that you like.
Click on Select File and select the saved segment with the composition.
Wait for the file to download, complete the captcha and click Analyze.

Whenever possible, the service provides links to official clips of the tracks found next to the results. If you need music on VK, remember the name, artist and move on.

Search VK music

Open the music section and paste the information found into the search. Check each of the titles received in “Audiotag” so that your efforts are not in vain.

Music Detector

The list of ways to find music from videos on VK is completed by another convenient program that takes up relatively little space in the internal memory of the phone - Music Detector. The procedure for working with it is similar to that described above:

By launching the application and clicking on the round button with the lightning icon, the user should.

Bring the device to the sound source and wait a bit.

The result will appear on the screen in a few seconds.

You can immediately listen to the composition on YouTube using the appropriate link.

Tip: by going to the Lyrics tab, the user will have the opportunity to read the lyrics of the song - and, if necessary, copy them.

How to determine song title and artist name

What we need, it’s clear, is the name of the artist (author) and the title of the song itself. In some cases, just a name is all that is needed. If you don’t recognize the music by ear, it’s unlikely that you will be able to find out all this information on your own. However, there are plenty of ways to do this.

Method 1: Shazam App

The second method is radically different from the first. It will cover the Shazam . It is worth saying that this method will be considered using the example of an application for mobile devices based on Android and iOS. But the program also has a computer version, and through it you can also find out music from videos on YouTube. But only for users who have a computer based on Windows 8 or .

Using the application is much easier than the above service. All you have to do is “Shazam” the music. That is, “capture” it by first pressing the corresponding button. Just turn on the video on YouTube, wait until the musical composition you like starts playing, and click “Shazam.”

After that, bring your phone to the speakers and let the program analyze the music.

After a few seconds, if there is such a composition in the application library, you will be provided with a report that will indicate the name of the track, its artist and video clip, if any.

By the way, you can listen to the audio recording directly in the application by clicking the appropriate button. Or buy it.

Please note that to listen to music in the application, you must have the corresponding application installed on your phone. On Android it's Play Music, and on iOS it's Apple Music. You must also subscribe, otherwise nothing will work. If you want to buy a track, you will be redirected to the appropriate section.

This application is able to recognize a huge number of songs. And if you have a smartphone, then it is better to use this method. But if it’s not there or you couldn’t recognize the music, then move on to the next one.

Method 2: MooMash Service

The main purpose of the MooMash service is to identify music from videos posted on YouTube video hosting. However, for a Russian-speaking user, it may be a problem that the site is not translated into Russian. Moreover, the interface itself is not very friendly and looks more like sites from the 2000s.
