A SetSplit alternative: ryser.id compared
SetSplit calls itself Shazam for DJ mixes: paste a YouTube or SoundCloud link and get a timestamped tracklist with Spotify and YouTube links, for free. ryser.id does the same from YouTube, SoundCloud, Mixcloud or a file, and adds BPM, key, exports for DJ software and a public library of analysed sets. Facts about SetSplit come from its own site.
