Music identification is in pre-release with limited partner access. Contact info@audioshake.ai to request access.
The music_identification model analyzes audio or video content to determine when music is present and whether that music can be identified. It is designed for short-form content, automated highlights, and cue sheet workflows, with a focus on copyright compliance and music clearance.

​
What the model provides

  • Time-aligned detection of music within media
  • Identification of recognizable music when possible
  • A single, structured JSON output for review, export, and integration
