Music Check

COMMERCIAL MUSIC MATCH SCREENING

Check audio and video
before you publish.

Upload a file, screen five points against a music recognition database, and review a timestamped report.

HOW IT WORKS

Three steps, that's it

No complex setup — just upload your file.

1

Upload

Drop in your audio or video — up to 200 MB / 2 hours, all common formats.

2

Screen

We sample five points across the file and match them against a music-recognition database.

3

Get the report

Review timestamped match results — with a verifiable report ID you can share.

WHY MUSIC CHECK

Peace of mind before you publish

⏱️

Timestamped matches

See exactly where in the file each match was detected.

Verifiable report

Every report carries a unique ID and hash that anyone can verify.

🎬

Audio & video

From MP3 to MP4 — upload common audio and video formats as-is.

🔒

Fast & private

Original uploads are scheduled for deletion within 24 hours.

AI donor recommendation

When Auto-Fix replaces a risky section, AI reviews your past screenings and recommends which one is the best stylistic match — especially useful for exposed material like solo piano, where a mismatched splice is easy to hear.

🎼

SoundPick score

We transcribe your uploaded track on the spot and render it as sheet music — even for songs no catalog knows.

🎹

Piano keyboard

Chord changes light up across a keyboard, so you can follow the piece even if you do not read notation.

🛡️

Public badge

Screenings that end with zero matches can become a badge you embed on your own site or socials.

🧰

Auto-Fix replacement

Swap only the risky sections for other material, with crossfades that smooth every seam.

What this tool does

Music Check matches sampled portions of a file using audio-fingerprinting technology widely used across the industry. When the first-pass result is ambiguous, a second engine cross-checks the full file to reduce false positives. A match does not determine infringement, and no match does not determine rights or permission — this tool is a pre-publication risk screen, not a legal determination.

This mirrors a widely used industry sampling approach — for example, audio-recognition provider ACRCloud's own File Scanning documentation formally distinguishes between "Traverse Scanning" (scanning the entire file) and "Points Scanning" (sampling specific points, assuming one song per file) as scan policies.

FAQ

Good to know

Does a match mean copyright infringement?
No. Music Check records music-recognition matches only. A match is not a legal determination of infringement, rights, or permission.
If there's no match, am I safe?
A no-match does not guarantee rights or permission. Recognition databases are not exhaustive.
What can I screen?
Audio and video files up to 200 MB / 2 hours: MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG, FLAC, MP4, MOV, WEBM.
Is my file stored?
Original uploads are scheduled for deletion within 24 hours after processing. You can delete reports and metadata from your account anytime.
Is there a way to save credits?
Yes. ① Re-uploading a byte-identical file is automatically cached, so it costs nothing extra. ② For a small edit, use "Quick recheck (changed parts only)" on the result page — it only re-verifies what changed and costs up to 1 credit (unchanged parts reuse the previous result). ③ If you screen often, a subscription plan (Creator/Pro/Team) has a much lower cost per screening than pay-as-you-go. Quick recheck is an optimization only — always run one full standard screening before you publish.
Is this the same as YouTube/TikTok Content ID?
No. The databases differ, so results can differ. You remain responsible for verifying rights and intended use.
Isn't there a fixed number of seconds that automatically makes it infringement? (the "10-second rule")
No — no such rule exists in either US or Korean law. Courts and copyright statutes weigh originality, access, and substantial similarity as a whole, not a fixed number of seconds or bars. Music Check's screening does not treat that myth as a legal standard; it's a pre-publication risk check, not a legal determination.
