Find out what song is playing, right in Telegram
Send or forward audio, a video, a voice message or a video message to What's The Song. It listens to the sound and answers with the artist, the track, the album and a link to a preview, with a button to download the song.
Free. Works in a private chat and in groups.
How it works
Three steps and the answer is in the chat.
Open the bot
Open @WTSong_Bot and press Start. There is nothing to set up: no account, no commands to learn.
Send the sound
Send or forward an audio file, a video, a voice message or a video message. For a video the bot takes the sound track and listens to that.
Get the track
The answer is a card with the artist, the track, the album, the label and the release date when they are known, the cover and a link to a preview. A button below it opens the song in Download IT.
What it does
One thing, done quickly: it tells you what is playing.
Audio files
Send a song as an audio file or as a document with audio, in any format Telegram marks as audio.
Voice messages
A song playing in the background of a voice message is recognized the same way as a file.
Video and video messages
Send a video or a round video message: the bot recognizes the music in its sound track.
Forwarded media
Forward a message with audio or video from any chat. No need to save it and upload it again.
A full track card
Artist and track, plus album, label and release date when the recognition returns them.
Cover and preview
The cover comes as the picture of the answer, and a link opens a short preview of the song.
Download button
A button under the answer opens @download_it_bot with the song already looked up, so you can get the audio or the video clip.
Works in groups
Add @WTSong_Bot to the caption of audio or video posted in a group and the bot replies to that message.
Free
There is no paid plan and nothing to buy.
When it helps
A song from a video
You saved a clip and want to know the music in it. Send the clip to the bot and read the answer.
Music in a voice message
A friend sent a voice message with a song playing behind it. Forward it to the bot.
An audio file with no name
A track called audio_001.mp3 is no use. The bot finds out the artist and the real title from the sound.
Music chats and groups
Someone posted a track and the group wants to know what it is. Add the bot's name to the caption and it answers right under it.
Pricing
What's The Song is free. There is no paid plan: recognition, the track card and the download button work for everyone at no cost.
Frequently asked questions
Is What's The Song really free?
Yes. There is no paid plan today: recognition and everything else on this site work at no cost.
What can I send to the bot?
Audio files, voice messages, videos, round video messages and documents that are audio or video. Photos, stickers and GIFs are refused with a short message. Playlist files (m3u, m3u8) are refused too.
Why does it say recognition failed?
The bot could not match the sound to a known track. Send another fragment, a longer one and with the music louder than speech or noise. If you send a recording of a live or very rare performance, it may simply not be in the database.
Can it download the song?
Not itself: this bot only recognizes music. When a track is found, the answer carries a button that opens @download_it_bot, where you can download the audio or the video clip.
Does it work in a group?
Yes. In a group the bot reacts only to a message with audio, a video or a voice message where @WTSong_Bot is written in the caption. It replies to that message.
Can I send a forwarded story?
No. Telegram does not give bots the media of a story, so the bot asks you to save the video and send it as a file or a video.
Does the bot keep my files?
The bot downloads the file to a temporary place to recognize it and removes that copy when it is done. It records the request: who sent it, the file name, size and duration, and the track found. Details are in the privacy policy.
