Music Match is Songfindr's smart search for when you know the sound you want but not the words for it.

## Three ways to use it

* **Describe it** - type the vibe or the scene in plain language.

* **Reference a track** - point to a song whose style you want to match.

* **Upload a file** - drop in an audio file (mp3, wav and similar, under **80 MB**) and get tracks that match its feel.

## When to reach for it

Use Music Match when keyword search is not landing, or when a client sends you a "make it sound like this" reference and you need close matches fast.
