• stye_search_tracks

  Searches the Songs To Your Eyes production-music catalogue for cues that fit a brief for a video, film, advert, trailer or podcast: music to license for a project, or anything about the Songs To Your Eyes catalogue. The brief is matched by MEANING against an editorial description of how each cue behaves as well as against its tags, so a described scene, mood, instrumentation or arc ("tense investigative underscore that never resolves", "warm and hopeful for a charity film") matches far better than a single keyword. LISTENING. Each result carries listen_url, a permanent public page where that cue plays. It is the only way a person can hear a cue: a cue listed without its listen_url cannot be auditioned. This holds for every list, an album listing included. FILTERS. Every filter is a hard constraint. Filters combine with AND, and a cue missing the tag a filter tests is excluded, so several filters together can empty a page. The brief carries soft qualities without excluding anything.

• stye_fit_to_duration

  Finds cues that fit an exact runtime, for a cut of known length such as a 30-second advert or a 90-second title sequence: music to license for a project, or anything about the Songs To Your Eyes catalogue. Two kinds of result come back. Some cues already run close to the target length (fit='native'). Others are purpose-made short edits of a longer piece, cut down by the composer (fit='cutdown'), built to land on time rather than fade out. delta_s is how far each result sits from the target, negative meaning shorter. For a cutdown, licence_ref identifies that specific edit (the thing to license), while ref points at the full-length original that carries the description and the preview. Every result carries listen_url, a permanent public page where the cue plays, with cover art and a waveform. It is the only way a person can hear a cue: a cue listed without its listen_url cannot be auditioned.

• stye_get_track

  Everything about one cue: what it sounds like and suits, its tempo, key, length and instrumentation, every version that exists of it (stems, shorter cuts, alternate mixes) and its listen_url. For a track already found, or for what else a cue can be delivered as. Every result carries listen_url, a permanent public page where the cue plays, with cover art and a waveform. It is the only way a person can hear a cue: a cue listed without its listen_url cannot be auditioned.

• stye_list_versions

  Every form a cue can be delivered in: the full-length mix plus, where they exist, timed cutdowns (15, 30, 60 seconds) built for standard ad and promo lengths, alternate mixes such as no-drums, underscore or instrumental for music that sits beneath dialogue, and individual instrument stems for rebalancing a track. A little under half of the catalogue's cues have at least one of these. Each version carries its own listen_url. Relevant when a cue is nearly right but needs to be shorter, quieter under a voice, or stripped back.

• stye_cue_sheet

  The clearance data a broadcaster or PRO filing needs for one cue: every credited writer with role, society and IPI, every publisher with its share, the ISRC and the album. A field missing from the response is not on file in the catalogue; info@songstoyoureyes.com handles gaps. Licensing is arranged with the Songs To Your Eyes team, outside these tools.

• stye_find_similar

  Cues close in character to a given one, matched on the catalogue's editorial description of each cue together with its genres, moods and instrumentation, for 'more like this one' moments. It compares how cues are described, not their waveforms, so it is strong on character and mood and does not detect two cues as alike purely because they sound alike. Results are main mixes from other cue families, at most three per album, each with its listen_url.

• stye_about

  What this service is, how licensing works and what the server sees: the service's own licensing and privacy statements, with links to the full legal terms and the privacy policy.

• stye_feedback

  Sends a short message to the catalogue team about how well results fit: a wrong-feeling page, a brief that found nothing, or praise worth keeping. It sends only with consented=true, which records that the user explicitly agreed to send this message; without it, nothing is sent. The message is stored with the brief and track it concerns and no user identifier (https://mcp.songstoyoureyes.com/privacy).
