Tell Songfindr what you need in plain language, or match the sound you already have in mind.

## Search in plain language

Type what you are scoring - a genre, a mood, or the scene itself, like "lofi beats", "music for a car chase" or "science fiction game". You can also browse by artist, song, release, or playlist, and check **Trending Searches** for a starting point.

## Match the sound with Music Match

When words are hard, use **Music Match**: describe the sound, point to a reference track, or upload an audio file to find tracks in the same style. See [Using Music Match](https://docs.songfindr.com/hc/songfindr/articles/music-match).

## Narrow it down

Filter by genre, mood, BPM, key and more to move from a broad idea to a shortlist, and preview any track in full before you license it.
