網絡核實歌曲名稱工具
搜索引擎如:Google, AltaVista, Ask, 或是 AlltheWeb都可用來核實歌曲名稱。您可以將歌曲名稱放在引號里看是否可以找到相吻合的歌曲名稱。不過,如果您輸入的歌曲名稱有多餘的字或是缺少字,或是字的拼法不同,用引號反而起會反作用。也可以利用歌詞在網上搜索歌曲,如果這個網站提供歌詞。如果您知道歌詞,將一句準確的歌詞放在引號里,就可以搜索到歌曲名稱。
您也可以利用這兩個主要有表演權機構的網上資料庫(ASCAP and BMI)來確認歌曲名稱、作詞者、演唱者。他們的資料庫有所有他們代表的作曲者和作詞者的資料。
美國國家版權局也有有關歌曲和作曲者的資料。這個資料庫較複雜,以下是使用這個資料庫的說明:Search Copyright Records。
