How to identify a song on Reddit
To find the song in a Reddit video, copy the post's link, paste it into AHA Music's video URL identifier, and start the scan; it fetches the post's video and lists the songs it contains with timestamps. Posts in private or quarantined subreddits, and videos hosted elsewhere, may not be fetchable; play those and use the Chrome extension.
- Copy the Reddit post link (Share, then Copy link).
- Paste it into the box above and start the scan.
- Read the songs found, with the time each one plays.
- If the post's video is hosted elsewhere or cannot be fetched, play it and click the AHA Music extension icon.
Why Reddit is different
Reddit video posts come in three kinds: videos uploaded to Reddit (v.redd.it), videos embedded from YouTube, Streamable or Gfycat, and links to other sites. The scan handles the first kind best; for embedded players the extension works on whatever plays in your tab.
Reddit's own videos are uploaded with the audio as a separate stream, which is why some third-party tools return silent clips; our fetch takes the audio track, so the song is there to identify.
The "what's the song?" comment under a video post is often answered hours later, if at all. Scanning the post answers it immediately, and the result links to a song page you can paste back into the thread.

When it fails, and what to do
- The subreddit is private or quarantined.
- Our server cannot fetch it; play it and use the extension.
- The post links to a video on another site.
- Paste that site's link if it is one we fetch (YouTube, Vimeo), or use the extension.
- The video is a meme edit with sound effects over the song.
- Use the extension at the clearest part of the music.
Questions about Reddit
Do old.reddit.com and redd.it links work?
Yes. All forms of the post link resolve to the same post.
Why did the scan find nothing in a video with music?
If the video came from another host with the audio stripped, or the music is an unreleased edit, there is nothing to match. Try the extension while the post plays.
Does it work on Reddit from the app?
The scan works from any device: copy the post link in the app and paste it here. The extension needs desktop Chrome or Edge.
