Apple Music Track Lookup
Retrieve track metadata from Apple Music by track ID.
How the Lookup Works
What is an Apple Music Track ID?
Every track on Apple Music carries a number, and the address shows it in one of two places. In music.apple.com/de/song/one-more-time/697195462 it is the last part. In music.apple.com/de/album/one-more-time/697194953?i=697195462 it is the number after ?i=; the number before it belongs to the album.
The number is the same in every country. Whether the track is in a country's store is not, which is why a lookup always asks one store.
How to Use
- Paste the number, or the whole Apple Music address of the track. The address is reduced to the number, and its country becomes the store country.
- Pick the store country from the list, which can be searched by name. A pasted link picks the country it names; otherwise the United States stays selected.
- The button in the field looks up one of ten sample tracks, for trying it out.
- Any line of the result can be clicked to copy it.
- Every lookup has its own address, so
/lookup/apple/track/de/697195462can be linked to and shared.
What Comes Back
| Track | Title, artist and album, with the cover as Apple serves it |
| Genre | The primary genre Apple files the track under |
| Release | The date Apple gives for the release |
| Position | Track and disc number, and how many there are |
| Explicit | Explicit, a cleaned version, or neither |
| Streamable | Whether Apple marks the track as streamable in that store |
Important Notes
- The answer comes from Apple's public iTunes lookup and is only as current as their catalogue. A track missing from the chosen store answers with an error, even if other stores carry it.
- An album number is not a track number. The lookup says so rather than picking a track from the album.
- An identifier is not a search. There is no way from a title to a number here; that number has to come from Apple.
- The cover is loaded from Apple's image host, so that one request does leave this site. Nothing else about the lookup does.
Privacy & Security: the identifier and the store country are sent to this site, which asks Apple and passes the answer back. Apple never learns who asked. The album art is the one thing your browser fetches from them directly.
