FAQ
What platforms are supported?
SetSplit supports YouTube videos, SoundCloud tracks, and direct audio file uploads (MP3, WAV, M4A). YouTube links work best for most DJ sets and festival recordings. If YouTube downloads are blocked, you can upload the audio file directly.
How long does it take to identify a set?
Processing time depends on the length of the set. The progress bar shows real-time updates as each segment is processed, and you will see tracks appear live as they are found.
How accurate is the identification?
Accuracy varies by genre and source material. Commercially released tracks in electronic, hip-hop, pop, and R&B are identified with high confidence. Unreleased edits, mashups, original productions, and heavily processed tracks may not be recognized since they are not in the fingerprint database.
Why are some tracks marked as unidentified?
Tracks can be unidentified for several reasons: the song may be an unreleased edit or original production not in any database, the DJ may have applied heavy effects (pitch shifting, filters, layering), or two songs may be mixed together during a transition making identification difficult.
Is there a maximum set length?
SetSplit supports long DJ sets, festival recordings, and radio mixes. Very long recordings may need to be split into parts before processing.
Can I share my tracklist?
Yes. Every completed tracklist gets a unique shareable URL that you can send to anyone. The results page shows all identified tracks with timestamps and streaming links. You can also copy the tracklist to your clipboard.
Is SetSplit free to use?
SetSplit offers free set identification. Processing uses audio fingerprinting APIs and server resources, so there may be usage limits during high-traffic periods.
What streaming links are provided?
Each identified track includes direct links to Spotify and YouTube. Click any link to listen to the full song, add it to a playlist, or explore the artist's catalog.
How does the identification work?
SetSplit uses advanced audio analysis to match segments of a mix against a large database of songs. Even when a DJ changes the tempo or applies effects, the underlying characteristics of each track can still be detected.
