Paste the Vimeo link, or identify the music while it plays.
How to identify a song on Vimeo
To find the song in a Vimeo video, copy the video's link, paste it into AHA Music's video URL identifier, and start the scan; it fetches the public video's audio and lists every song it recognises with the time it plays, up to 1 hour. Private, password-protected or embed-only videos cannot be fetched; play those and use the Chrome extension instead.
- Copy the Vimeo link (vimeo.com/<id>, or the share link).
- Paste it into the box above and start the scan.
- Read the songs found, with the time each one plays.
- For private or password-protected videos, play them and click the AHA Music extension icon.
Why Vimeo is different
Vimeo hosts a lot of professional work: short films, showreels, brand films, music videos and festival entries. The music is usually a single licensed track or a score, mixed cleanly, which makes it one of the easiest platforms to identify from a link.
Many Vimeo videos are set to private, password-protected, or "hide from Vimeo" with embed-only playback on the owner's site. Those have no public file to fetch; the extension identifies them from the player on whatever site embeds them.
Video descriptions on Vimeo often credit the music, so check there first; when they don't, or the credit is a library cue, the scan tells you whether the track is a released song.

Questions about Vimeo
Does it work with Vimeo Showcase or On Demand links?
Showcase pages hold several videos; open the video itself and copy its link. On Demand titles are paid and private: play them and use the extension.
Can it find the music in a video embedded on another website?
Yes. The extension listens to whatever plays in your tab, including a Vimeo player embedded on a portfolio site.
Does it recognise stock or library music?
Only music that was released commercially is in the catalogue. Library cues are matched when the library distributes them to stores.
