Identify Genre

FAQ

Common questions

Short answers about the free genre tool, data sources, and what you can do with a report.

How do I identify an artist's genre?

Paste a Spotify artist or track URL into Identify Genre and click Analyse. The tool classifies genres using Spotify, Last.fm, MusicBrainz, and Every Noise at Once data, then returns a full datasheet with similar artists, ads targeting, playlists, and markets.

Is Identify Genre free?

Yes. Identify Genre is free to use and does not require a login. You can analyse artists and export PDF or CSV reports at no cost.

What data sources power the genre classification?

Identify Genre uses a multi-source cascade: Spotify for artist identity, Last.fm for community genre tags and similar artists, MusicBrainz for structured music metadata, and Every Noise at Once for genre-space context. When one source is thin, later layers fill the gaps.

Can I export the report?

Yes. After analysis you can export a PDF report or CSV data from the results view for pitching, targeting, or internal notes.

Do I need a Spotify Developer account?

No. You only need a public Spotify artist or track URL. Identify Genre handles API access on the server; you do not paste API keys in the browser.

What can I do with the similar artists and targeting tabs?

Use similar artists for lookalike discovery, ads targeting suggestions for campaign setup, playlist targets for pitching, and geo listenership signals to prioritise markets.
