Indie artists and fresh uploads
Demos, remixes and unreleased tracks that never reach streaming services. Search is loose, so combine artist name with a distinctive word from the title.
Buy music, support artists
Direct-from-artist sales where most of the money reaches the musician. The best place to listen before buying and to find small labels.
Lyrics with annotated meaning
Lyrics with line-by-line annotations explaining references and samples. The fastest way to settle a lyric dispute or trace a sample.
Music profiles and scrobbles
Listening statistics and similarity graphs built from scrobbles. Better than any streaming app at “what sounds like this, but less obvious”.
Full-text podcast episode search
Full-text search across podcast episodes rather than just titles, with timestamps. Use it when you remember a sentence but not the show.
About the Music channel
Music search splits into three different jobs that look alike: finding a track, understanding a lyric, and finding the conversation around an artist. Streaming catalogues answer the first, lyric sites the second, and social music platforms the third — none of them does all three well.
Search by the most distinctive fragment you remember: a lyric line, a producer name, a compilation era. Streaming search is weak on half-remembered melodies but strong on metadata; Genius is strong on annotation; Bandcamp is where the artist actually gets paid. For podcasts, use a full-text episode index rather than a podcast app’s title search.
Music search — frequently asked questions
How do I find a song from a half-remembered lyric?
Search the fragment in quotes on Genius, then confirm the track on a streaming service. If the lyric is misheard, search the artist’s forum thread or a lyric-identification community instead.
Where should I buy music so the artist gets paid?
Bandcamp pays out the largest share per sale and lets you stream after purchase. Streaming pays per play, which for most independent artists is a fraction of a cent.
Can I search podcast episodes by content?
Yes — Listen Notes indexes transcripts, so you can search a phrase and jump to the timestamp. Most podcast apps only search show titles and descriptions.
Why do streaming searches miss tracks I know exist?
Licensing differs by region and catalogue changes monthly. If a track is missing, check whether it is region-locked, removed, or released under a different artist credit.
