How to Find the Songs in a SoundCloud Mix
Copy the mix URL
Open the mix on SoundCloud and copy the address from the browser, or use Share then Copy Link in the app. Mobile short links from on.soundcloud.com work too — they get resolved automatically before the page is read.
Paste it above and run it
The tool fetches the mix page and reads two things: the description under the player, and the comment thread attached to the waveform. Both are places where track IDs get written down, and the parser handles numbered lists, timestamped layouts, and artist and title pairs separated by dashes.
Read the results
Each track comes back with the artist, the title, and the position it was found at, plus links to Spotify, Bandcamp, Apple Music, and Discogs so you can listen or buy. Underground releases often have a Bandcamp or Discogs link but no Spotify one. That is normal rather than a failure — a lot of this music was pressed to vinyl or sold direct and never entered a streaming catalog at all.
When nothing comes back
It means nobody wrote the track names on that page. That is a genuine limit of reading text, and running the same URL again will not change it. Audio fingerprinting identifies tracks from the sound itself and is included on a free account, which is the honest next step.
Why a Mix Is Harder Than a Single Track
A two-hour mix is not one recording — it is twenty or more, beatmatched into each other, often with two playing at once. That is what breaks the usual approach of holding a phone up to a speaker: the overlap during a transition can defeat a fingerprint match, and a track that was never released commercially has nothing to match against in the first place. The longer and more underground the mix, the more of it goes unrecognised.
Text does not have that problem. A tracklist written in the description names all twenty regardless of how they were mixed, and a comment posted at a timestamp survives a transition perfectly well. Reading the page first and fingerprinting second is simply the cheaper order, which is why this tool starts there.
Manual Alternatives, and When They Beat a Tool
- Ask in the comments. Slow, but for a single unreleased track that nobody has named yet, a human who was there is often the only source that exists.
- Check the uploader’s other posts. Many uploaders publish the tracklist a few days after the mix, or link it from a pinned comment or their profile.
- Community tracklist sites. Well-covered for large festival sets, thin for smaller uploads — coverage depends entirely on whether a volunteer got to it.
- Audio fingerprinting. The one approach that works when nothing is written down anywhere. Included on a free TrackRadar account.
