How to find a song from a YouTube video or set clip
A YouTube video has a track with no name in the title or description.
Short answer
Share the YouTube link to Diggit or paste it at diggitmusic.online. Diggit reads the title, the description and the pinned comments, then listens to the audio to identify the track. It is saved with a preview and buy links.
Why this is harder than it should be
YouTube is one of the best digging sources: channels that upload rare records, label uploads, and set clips. It is also where tracks get lost in “Watch later”, a list designed for videos, not for music.
When the title is “Unknown – Untitled (1992)” or the description says nothing, finding the record means asking in the comments and hoping.

Diggit finds the record

Save it and buy later
Choose a crate. The buy links show where the track is sold as a download (Bandcamp, Beatport…) and on vinyl (Discogs, record shops).
Other ways to do it
- Read the description and pinned comment; many channels list the tracklist there.
- For a full one-hour mix, use a set-scanning tool that returns a timestamped tracklist, then save the tracks you like to Diggit.
Tips from diggers
- If the upload is a rip of a record, the cover in the thumbnail is often enough. Take a screenshot and share it to Diggit.
Frequently asked questions
Can Diggit identify every track in a long DJ mix?
No. Diggit identifies one track per link. It is built for the moment you hear a track you want, not for scanning full sets. Use a set-scanning tool for that, and save the results in Diggit.
Does it work with YouTube Shorts?
Yes. Share the Short like any video.
