Frequently asked questions

My D&D Music is a free music library and soundboard built for Dungeon Masters and other tabletop RPG game masters. Save music from YouTube, SoundCloud, and elsewhere on the web, organize it with your own tags, notes, and ratings, and quickly find the right soundtrack during a session.

It keeps your session music organized and ready to play. Instead of digging through bookmarks, browser tabs, or a pile of playlists when combat starts or the party enters a creepy dungeon, you can search or filter your library and get to the right track quickly. The goal is simple: less time managing music, more time running the game.

You can save tracks from YouTube and SoundCloud, plus custom links from other sources around the web. Supported YouTube and SoundCloud tracks can play directly inside My D&D Music; custom links still give you one organized place to keep music you want to remember for your games.

No. My D&D Music organizes links to music hosted elsewhere rather than asking you to upload the audio itself. Paste a supported link, add it to your library, and My D&D Music keeps the track information and your organization around it.

However makes sense at your table. You can create your own tag groups and tags for things like mood, location, encounter, campaign, character, or intensity. For example: Combat, Boss Fight, Tavern, Wilderness, Creepy, Calm, or a specific campaign name. A track can have multiple tags, so the same song might be both "Boss Fight" and "Tense."

Yes. Search your library by text or filter it using your custom tags. This is especially useful when the party does something you didn't plan for: filter for the mood or scene you need, pick a track, and keep the adventure moving.

Yes. Paste a supported YouTube playlist or SoundCloud set link to preview the tracks and bring them into your library in bulk. You can choose which tracks to add and apply tags as you import them, which is much faster than rebuilding an existing D&D music collection one track at a time.

Supported YouTube and SoundCloud tracks play in your browser through My D&D Music. A persistent player stays available while you browse your library, so you can keep looking for the next track without stopping the music that's already setting the scene.

Yes. Rate tracks and add your own notes so Future You remembers why you saved them. Notes can be as simple as "good for a slow villain reveal," "quiet exploration," or "final boss phase two." My D&D Music also keeps play history to help you rediscover tracks you've used before.

Yes. You can export your library and import it again later. CSV is useful for viewing or editing your collection like a spreadsheet, while JSON preserves more of the library structure for a fuller backup.

No. It was built by a DM for D&D, but the library works for Pathfinder and other tabletop RPGs too. If you use background music, ambience, battle music, or character themes while running a TTRPG, you can organize them here.

Yes. My D&D Music is completely free to use. It's a passion project built for my own table and shared with other DMs and game masters. If you find it useful and want to help keep the lights on, there's an optional Ko-fi link to support the project.

Your library is private to your account. Other My D&D Music users can't browse your tracks, tags, notes, or ratings. You can also export your library whenever you want a copy of your collection.

No. My D&D Music is an organizer and playback tool for links to third-party music services. It doesn't host, sell, download, or redistribute the underlying music. Availability and playback can therefore depend on the original provider.
