What is MP3Skull?
MP3Skull is an independent music discovery platform that provides a convenient way to search for music-related content available through YouTube.
Instead of making visitors navigate through complicated interfaces, MP3Skull focuses on providing a straightforward search experience where users can enter a song title, artist, album or keyword and quickly explore relevant results.
Our goal is to keep the experience fast, responsive and easy to understand on both desktop computers and mobile devices.
How MP3Skull works
MP3Skull uses the YouTube Data API to retrieve publicly available video information for search queries entered by visitors.
Search results can include information such as video titles, channel names, thumbnails, publication dates, view counts, descriptions and other information made available by the YouTube API.
MP3Skull does not maintain a private database containing the YouTube search catalogue. Search information is requested when a visitor performs a search.
Our approach to music discovery
Finding music online should not be complicated. That's why MP3Skull is designed around a simple search-first experience.
Visitors can search for popular songs, discover artists, explore different music genres and find music videos from a single interface.
Designed for mobile and desktop
MP3Skull uses a responsive interface so the website can adapt to different screen sizes. Whether you are using a smartphone, tablet, laptop or desktop computer, the search experience is designed to remain comfortable and easy to navigate.
Respect for content ownership
MP3Skull is a search and discovery interface. Music and video content displayed through third-party services remains subject to the rights, licences and policies of the respective content owners and platforms.
MP3Skull does not claim ownership of third-party music, recordings, artwork, videos or trademarks referenced through search results.
Why we built MP3Skull
Music discovery has changed significantly over the years. People now use many different services to discover artists and songs. MP3Skull aims to provide a simple starting point for that discovery process.
We are continuously working on improving the website's usability, performance, search experience and educational content surrounding digital music.
