What is Audioatlas?

Audioatlas is a sound identifier tool. Natural language music search over roughly 153 million tracks, with reference-track matching, structured field operators and filters for mood, BPM, key and vocals. Built for music supervisors, editors, advertisers and content creators who need licensable or sync-ready cues quickly.

AudioAtlas is a music search engine built around natural language queries rather than keyword boxes and dropdown menus. A user types a brief such as "uplifting cinematic with pounding drums" or "dark synthwave at 120 BPM" and the system interprets the meaning of the phrase, then ranks matches from a catalogue the site puts at roughly 153 million tracks drawn from production libraries, commercial catalogues and independent publishers. The index grows continuously, with the homepage reporting tens of thousands of new tracks arriving from streaming platforms each day. In practice the search bar accepts three kinds of input. Plain-English briefs cover mood, instrumentation, energy, genre and tempo. Named references trigger a direct lookup for an artist, composer, song title or ISRC. A set of prefix operators (title, artist, composer, album, isrc, iswc, lyrics, film, label, genre, mood, bpm, year, country) forces a strict structured search that combines with AND logic. A reference track can also be uploaded to find similar-sounding music, and a Musical versus Semantic toggle switches between sound-alike matching and descriptive matching. Filters narrow results by genre, mood, energy, BPM, key, vocal gender, duration, year and catalogue scope, and AI-generated music can be hidden or isolated. The tool is aimed at people who license or place music under deadline: music supervisors, sync and licensing staff, video editors, film and television producers, advertising creatives, podcasters and YouTubers. The interface is available in English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Portuguese, Turkish and Chinese. Labels and publishers can submit catalogues for semantic indexing, and a paid API plus an MCP server expose the same search to Claude and other clients. Among music search tools, AudioAtlas leans toward sync and production use rather than consumer listening. Its closest comparisons are stock library search pages, which rely on curated tags, and reference-track services that match by audio similarity. AudioAtlas combines both modes over a much larger pool that includes commercial releases, which matters when a brief needs a recognisable hit as much as an obscure library cue.

How do you use Audioatlas?

  1. 1Open the search bar and type a brief
    Start on the homepage and describe the sound in plain English, mentioning mood, instruments, energy and tempo. Submit the query to see ranked matches from the catalogue.
  2. 2Narrow results with the Filters panel
    Open Filters to set genre, mood, energy, BPM, key, vocal type, duration, year and catalogue scope. You can also hide AI-generated music or show only AI tracks.
  3. 3Switch between Musical and Semantic modes
    Use the toggle to choose sound-alike matching for reference-driven searches or semantic matching for descriptive briefs. Uploading an audio file also triggers similarity search.
  4. 4Try field operators for exact lookups
    Prefix terms such as artist:, composer:, film:, isrc:, lyrics: or bpm:80-100 to force a structured search. Several operators can be chained and they combine with AND logic.
  5. 5Request an API key for programmatic access
    Teams that need the search inside their own tools contact the company with a use case and expected volume, then receive credentials and a pricing proposal by email.
  6. 6Connect the MCP server to a chat client
    Claude Code, Claude Desktop and other MCP clients can call AudioAtlas with a bearer token. Each tool call counts as one request against the API plan.
