Music genre analysis: common questions
Is this music genre detector free and private?
Yes. Analysis is free, without registration. The model runs in your browser; your audio is not uploaded. The first analysis downloads the model and its runtime files.
Can I analyse MP3, WAV or FLAC files?
You can select audio formats your browser can decode, commonly MP3 and WAV; FLAC, M4A and Ogg support depends on the browser. The limit is 100 MB and 5 seconds to 15 minutes per file.
How accurate are the genre scores?
They are model similarity scores, not calibrated confidence or percentages of the song. Several styles can match at once. Compare the top results with what you hear; niche styles and noisy recordings can be harder to classify.
Does it identify the song title, artist, BPM or key?
No. This tool identifies musical styles from audio. It does not search song fingerprints, accept streaming links, or measure BPM and musical key.
