The 1001Tracklists alternative for sets nobody documented.
1001Tracklists is a great community database, when a curator covered your set. ryser.id analyzes the audio itself: any set, timestamped in minutes, with BPM, key and DJ-software export.

Fair is fair: for big documented sets the database is superb. ryser.id names tracks from the audio alone and takes no names from it. The difference is coverage on demand: you don't wait for a curator.
Is ryser.id a replacement for 1001Tracklists?
For documented festival sets, 1001Tracklists is excellent and free; use it. ryser.id exists for the other 99% of sets: anything a curator hasn't covered, including your own recordings. Many DJs use both. ryser.id takes no names from 1001Tracklists: every name it gives comes from the audio of the set.
What does ryser.id find that a curated database can't?
Anything nobody documented: local gigs, radio shows, your own practice mixes, fresh uploads. Because it analyzes the audio itself, it also attaches BPM and harmonic key to every track and timestamps the transitions exactly.
What does 1001Tracklists do better?
True unreleased and white-label IDs: a human who was in the room beats any fingerprint. That's also why ryser.id marks those tracks unknown instead of guessing, and lets the community suggest IDs.
Can I try it without paying?
Yes: every account gets 120 free minutes a month (a set uses its length in minutes), no card. That's two hours of audio.
