How to identify a single audio track on iPhone

Find a song’s title and artist without processing your whole Library.

Quick answer

Open the track’s “⋯” → “Details and Source” → “Recognize Again”. Stay online, then check the matched artist and version against the audio.

Step by step

3 steps
  1. Check the audio first

    Listen to the track. If it contains several songs, split it first so the match can describe the right song.

Common questions

Does song identification need the internet?

Yes, matching requires an internet connection. Saved local audio can still play without a match.

Will identifying a short clip give me the complete song?

No. Identification adds information; it does not add missing audio.
