Frequently asked questions

Everything about set analysis, IDs, and how Chuned actually works.

Set Analysis

We check the video's own description and community-maintained tracklist databases first — that's free and usually instant. If nothing's published, we fall back to ACRCloud, a third-party audio fingerprinting service, to identify what we can directly from the audio. Whatever's still unknown after that goes to the community.
No — just a YouTube URL. Chuned works entirely from links to sets already on YouTube; there's no file upload.
If your set needs the audio-fingerprinting fallback, it's processed server-side and you'll get a notification when it's done — you can close the app and come back to it. Cached and published-tracklist results are instant.

ID Submissions

When our automated lookup comes up empty — common for unreleased or white-label tracks — anyone can submit an ID: artist, title, and an optional link. It shows immediately as unverified with your username attached, and other listeners can confirm or dispute it.
After enough independent confirmations from other users, a submission flips from "unverified" to confirmed and becomes a normal identified track. The person who submitted it can't confirm their own submission.
A score built from your activity — submissions, confirmed IDs, comments — shown on your profile. It's a track record, not a currency.

Account

Not for your first set — analyze one for free with no sign-up. After that, an account's required to analyze more, submit IDs, or comment.
Yes, anytime, from your profile — permanent, and it removes your login and personal info. Your contributions (comments, submissions) stay up, anonymized, so other people's tracklists and threads stay intact.
