How to identify songs in a recording on iPhone

Add titles, artists, and artwork to recorded songs.

Quick answer

Identify a batch of songs without looking up each one yourself.

After splitting the recording into songs, tap “Identify Songs” to match their titles, artists, and artwork. You can also select saved tracks in the Library and identify them again.

Step by step

4 steps
  1. Check the segments

    Make sure each segment contains one song. Split any segment that still contains several songs before identification.

How do I identify several songs already in my Library?

Choose “Select” from the Library’s song-list menu, select the tracks, then tap “Recognize Again”. Check your selection first: identification can replace titles, artists, artwork, and review status.

Common questions

Can I save a song without a match?

Yes. Name it yourself and save it normally. Short clips, overlapping speech, or altered playback speed can make matching harder.

Can identification replace a title I entered myself?

Yes. Note any custom details you want to keep and select only the tracks you need to identify again.

Does canceling restore the previous information?

No. Canceling stops the remaining work; matches already completed are retained.
