Where to find songs from tv shows

Tunefind takes its listings from two sources. One is the music supervisors for the TV shows themselves , who can submit episode listings. The other is users. Anyone can submit a song. Each episode page also has a section for asking questions, for answering by the community. Each track has a short snippet of text to help you identify it.

You can expect to see a show's latest episode go live on the sitecomplete with its soundtrackwithin minutes of it finishing on TV. The site also focuses on accuracy. It deploys a community voting system so that readers can confirm or disagree with the selected track. It prevents cover versions or songs with the same title by different artists slipping through the net. Other useful features on Tunefind include alerts for new episodes of shows and movies you like, alerts for your favorite artists' songs getting featured in a video, and links to YouTube and Amazon listings for the various tracks where available.

NB: We've also written about how to identify music and songs in YouTube videos. Another TV music finder worth checking out is WhatSong. The site is split into movies and TV shows. Once again, hundreds of shows are available.

Like Tunefind, you can browse by season and episode number, and many of the listed tracks also have accompanying scene descriptions. We particularly like the "Trending Music" section of the site.

If you wish, you can make an account on WhatSong. It allows you to collate your favorite tunes, shows, and movies, and interact with the wider community in the comment boxes. You'll have to forgive the slightly retro UI. Just like the other services we've looked at so far, you can use Soundtrack. But Soundtrack. You can also browse by composer for all those awesome instrumental pieces that crop up in shows , search for music used specifically in movie trailers, and search official soundtrack audio releases.

Music geeks might also appreciate the Release Dates section. The site used to have a news section. Unfortunately, although you can still browse the archives, it has not been actively updated since We've covered the three main sites that help you find music from TV shows. For the rest of the article, we're going to briefly look at some other services you might not have considered. Given the fact that the uploader is under the scope here, they will often list the featured pieces of music in the video description.

So, that is where your search should start. In some cases, especially for the more obscure pieces, the uploader will not bother to include the link to the song or even its name and artist in the description.

The obvious solution here would be to use one of many song identification apps more on this later. But what happens if there are other sounds or noises in the track. This is uncertain. Your best bet here would be to try the YouTube comments section. Look through a couple of pages and see if anyone had asked the same question that you want to. If not, feel free to ask the question yourself. Chances are that someone will respond and you will find out the song.

Apart from music ID apps, there is another way to see the exact details regarding a particular song. This includes the cast, trivia, reviews, and, you guessed it, soundtracks. Just search for the TV show you have in mind on imdb. You will note, however, that this list is pretty short. Fortunately, every episode of your favorite show has a page of its own complete with the relevant information.

Even easier, in fact. That means that, in addition to finding a cool song that you were looking for, you will also gain access to other cool songs featured in the said movie.

Okay, so we are here. Yes, these apps are definitely the most straightforward way to immediately get your hands on any song featured in a YouTube video, TV show, or a movie. The cool thing about these apps is that they work anywhere.
