Common questions

How much can I listen to for free?

Your first 30 saved songs play in full for free, forever. Additional songs have a 45-second preview. A one-time purchase unlocks more full-length playback.

Why is saving a link not enough for offline listening?

A link does not contain the audio. Record and save the sound, or import an actual audio file into TuneTrace.

Can I identify songs or find lyrics offline?

Song recognition and lyric searches need the internet. Playing audio already saved locally does not.

Recording depends on iOS and the source app. Only save audio you have permission to record.
