Quite often, when watching movies, TV series or clips on some popular service, like YouTube, Instagram, VK or Tik Tok, you can hear a cool song or just beautiful music. And immediately the thought: “Oh! I want it in my collection! I'll listen to you until I hear you! Neighbors beware!" But it is instantly darkened, because it is not clear how to find music from a video, how to find out the artist?
With songs everything is somewhat simpler, since they have words. And from the text you can easily identify both the musical work and the author-performer. Provided, of course, that the listener has more or less command of the language of the song. Which doesn't always happen. But finding and downloading music, a track without words, or just a melody is a problem that requires a non-trivial solution. A special approach is needed.
What to do? What should I do? How to recognize music or song from a video or clip?
How to recognize music from a video

- Online service. A functional site that allows you to easily identify a popular song or music without the need to install any additional software;
- An application for mobile devices with which you can quickly and easily recognize playing music;
- Online service for recognizing musical works by link;
- A special browser extension for detecting music playing in a tab;

Why do you need a dark theme?
How can we explain such popularity of the dark theme? Initially, it was conceived as a universal tool to reduce the power consumption of a smartphone. Indeed, users with an AMOLED screen may notice the advantage of the black theme over the standard interface if they look at the battery discharge statistics. On the AMOLED matrix, dark-colored pixels do not consume the battery, so the smartphone lasts longer.
On smartphones with an IPS matrix, you will not be able to experience the energy efficiency benefits of a dark theme. It's all about the features of the backlight, which illuminates all the pixels at once, regardless of their color.
It turns out that only owners of smartphones with an OLED (AMOLED) matrix can feel the main advantage of the dark theme, since it illuminates all pixels except black ones. But at the same time, this type of interface attracts the attention of users of devices with an IPS screen. Why is this happening?
Firstly, the dark theme is easier on the eyes. Moreover, this advantage is relevant for displays of different formats. Try looking at the Sun or a burning light bulb, after which you will understand how harmful bright light affects the eyes. A similar situation occurs when a person looks at a completely white screen at maximum brightness. Black color has virtually no effect on the user's sensations.
Secondly, and perhaps most importantly, the dark theme is simply a stylish solution. It is no coincidence that it has become so popular, because users see in it something new and interesting. This aspect even prevails over the reduced effect on eye fatigue. Therefore, this interface is chosen even by owners of smartphones with IPS screens and those who do not get headaches even in a light theme.

Audio Tag
This Internet resource operates online and is capable of recognizing almost any musical composition, but only in audio formats. Also, as an alternative method when interacting with the Audio Tag Internet resource, a link from the online video hosting YouTube can be used. This alternative method allows you to find songs without having to play the song in the background.
Another opportunity of the Internet resource is that on the Audio Tag website you can configure the time intervals for playing a composition or part of it. This function is especially relevant if the source video material is quite long, and inside it (for example, if we are talking about a film) the desired melody plays for only 30-40 seconds.
To activate the search, you must perform the following steps:
- Go to the Internet resource ru.audiotag.info.
- On the main page of this Internet resource, you need to decide on the choice of search. In this case, the user can, if necessary, use only a sound fragment or provide a link to the material.
Select an option
- If the user uses a link to the material, he will also need to indicate time intervals. If he does not do this, then the Internet resource program will check the entire timing of the video.
File link and time period
- Enter the captcha provided by Google to view the search results.
The service is distributed free of charge, and anyone can use it online, without the need to install third-party software.
However, this online resource also has some disadvantages. For example, there are a lot of advertising videos on the site, which often interfere with using the site for its intended purpose. Also, the Internet resource does not have a button for analyzing a musical composition by singing a melody or using words from a song.
How to find out music from a video - browser extension
In order to quickly find music from a video via a link, you can use a special browser extension - AHA Music. It quickly and accurately identifies the song or music playing in the tab.

How to find music from a video using the link:
- Go to the AHA Music extension page;
- Download it by clicking the “Install” button;
- Open a tab with a video with music that should be recognized (for example, YouTube, Instagram, VK, Odnoklassniki, Facebook or Tik Tok);

- After a short search, the track and artist will be displayed in the window.
Communities on VK
If you can’t find the soundtrack you need on your own, ask for help from “experts” in thematic communities. The method is not the fastest, but reliable. To use it, follow these steps:
- Go to the “Communities” section in “VK”.
- In the section's search bar, enter the query "Find music."
- Join the right community. Depending on the administration, to ask you will need to either write a request on the wall or in a discussion.
If you're lucky, you'll receive an answer within a few minutes. But sometimes you have to wait a couple of days or even more.
How to discover music using a voice assistant
Voice assistants identify music very well. It’s enough to turn on the music and ask: “ What kind of music is playing now?” " or " What song is playing? ” and the virtual assistant will provide an answer.
Android owners can use Google Assistant.
You can do without it, because the Google application already has a song recognition function. Just open the search, enter the phrase “recognize a song” into the search bar and turn on the track or melody.
Siri will help iPhone owners.
Yandex browser with built-in voice assistant Alice is perfect for PC.
Examples of beautiful themes for Android
The Lemon Fish Water program, similar to Colorful Lemon, also available for free, will help bring a wave of freshness and brightness to Android. Shark and Stormy Sea have a more “aquatic” theme. The latter also changes the keyboard design.
The following 3D screensavers are recommended for space lovers: “Moon 3D”, Venus in HD Gyro 3D, Space 3D Live Wallpaper.

Just go to the chat, attach a file to a message, and in a matter of seconds the bot will determine the name of the song and its artist, and also provide a link to the song in the Yandex Music service.
Tunatic
A program that needs to be installed directly on your computer.
Working with it is even easier than with previous options.

It takes about 30 seconds to recognize a file, and the main advantage of this development is its extensive database. As you may have noticed, there are many ways to find the track you need. If you want to know my personal opinion, I prefer Shazam. It does not take up much space, and most importantly, it has a search history. If you didn't have time to save the song you want, you can always watch it in history.

Most modern film studios use third-party recording studios to work on music scores. At the same time, the credits for the film always indicate everyone involved in its production, as a rule, with information about the content they created.
Scroll through the credits from beginning to end, looking for the “Sound by” or “Music by” notes. Regardless of whether the track was written specifically for the film or a ready-made single was used, you will find its name next to it. The picture below shows how it looks in the credits of the film “Case No. 39”.
It’s even easier to search in Russian-language films, simply because they are in Russian. Below is an example of credits for the film “Brother”, where all the songs used in its creation are indicated.
