About Sonoteller
Sonoteller is an experimental AI-powered music analysis engine that listens to songs and produces comprehensive profiles covering both lyrics and musical attributes. It can identify genres, subgenres, moods, instruments, BPM, key, and vocal characteristics, as well as analyze lyrics for summary, themes, moods, language, and explicit content flagging. The tool also highlights a song's 'golden minute' (chorus or key section). Users can test songs via YouTube URLs or integrate the Sonoteller API for automated tagging of their own music catalogs. It is designed to enhance music metadata for discovery, distribution, and use by music supervisors, DSPs, and playlist curators.
