MusTg: Music Search in Telegram

A tune is stuck in your head and the title has slipped away. Or you need a song for a video, a workout, a long drive. Opening a separate music service for one track is a chore, and Telegram is already in your hand. MusTg searches for music right in the chat.

The bot's description lists four jobs: finding music, video clips, song lyrics and albums, all in one conversation. 🎧

One request, four kinds of results

You type a track title or an artist name and get options. From there you can follow any branch, depending on what you need right now.

• Track. Find a song and open it.
• Clip. Watch the video for a song, if one exists.
• Lyrics. Read the words to sing along or to settle an argument about a line you misheard.
• Album. See what else the artist released and in what order.

Up and running in a minute

1. Open the bot and press /start. A menu appears.
2. To change the interface language, use /language.
3. Type a song title or an artist. The more precise the request, the less clutter in the results.
4. If something is unclear, /help shows hints.

The bot works as a mini app: some actions happen in a window inside Telegram, others in the usual chat.

Finding a song when you forgot the name

A good trick is to type a fragment of the lyrics you remember. If the bot searches by words, it will show a matching result. If not, add the artist's name or the year.

Transliteration helps too. For songs in Cyrillic, try the Latin spelling, and the other way around. Different catalogs record titles differently.

A word on copyright

Music is protected by law. Listening to a track in a service and downloading its file are different things, and rights holders may forbid distributing copies. If legal access matters to you, use official subscriptions and keep the bot for searching and discovering artists.

Be especially careful with rips, reposts and paid releases. A file of unknown origin may have poor quality or a harmful attachment. 🙂

Your own music bot

The MusTg profile mentions a way to create your own music bot. That can help owners of channels and communities who want to give subscribers a song search in one place.

It is best to ask the developers about terms and details; a contact is listed in the profile. Do not pay strangers in advance and never send them the tokens of your bots.

When the bot goes quiet

Services like this depend on external catalogs and may stop responding for a while. Wait a few minutes, send /start again and check that nothing is blocked on your side. If the problem stays, write to support, whose contact is in the bot profile.
