Find the right track with search, filters and Music Match.
How do I find the right track for my project?
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. 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.

Using Music Match (describe it, reference it, or upload a file)
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.
