From discovery to your repertoire
Hear something worth keeping?
Capture available song details from supported music services, then choose your personal repertoire or an authorised band library as the destination.
Read about your next favourite artist
Find artists on music publications, artist pages and label websites. Review the detected names before choosing whom to follow in Crescender.
Make the charts a starting point
Explore songs and credited artists from Billboard’s Hot 100, with chart positions alongside the music. Keep useful chord, tab and concert-setlist references too.
Your music browser, with a companion
Open a music page, then open the companion from Chrome’s toolbar or keep its side panel beside the page.
Review the detected artist, song or chart. On another music website, try Scan this page, or select a musician’s name and scan it.
Choose what to follow or save. Detection updates as you navigate; you can scan again when a page loads more music.
Automatic detection supports sites including Spotify, YouTube Music, Apple Music, Chordify, Ultimate Guitar, setlist.fm, Rolling Stone, Billboard and ARIA, plus selected music publications and label sites. Available details depend on the page; not every page or website supplies usable music information.
The companion captures music information and source links. It does not download audio or provide access to paid music, tabs or articles.
Chart capture in the extension, using clearly labelled demonstration songs.
Installation & availability
The Chrome Web Store listing is being prepared. Until it is publicly available, you can install the developer build manually in desktop Chrome.
Open chrome://extensions and enable Developer mode.
Choose Load unpacked and select the unzipped folder.
Pin the companion from Chrome’s Extensions menu, open a music page and sign in when prompted.
Already using a manual installation? Replace the files in its existing folder, choose Reload on Chrome’s Extensions page, then refresh your music tabs. Chrome’s Update button does not download new files into a manually installed folder.
You choose what reaches Crescender
Recent discoveries stay on your device until you choose a save or follow action. Account checks connect to Crescender, and loading artwork may contact its provider. You can clear recent discoveries, restrict site access in Chrome, or remove the extension. Music you have already saved remains in your Crescender account.
