What songs are in the Folk & Singer-Songwriter quiz?

126 real records, drawn from the same catalogue the Guess The Song app uses, with Tracy Chapman, Bob Dylan and Etta James among the artists you'll hear. We don't publish the track list: knowing it would be the answer key, and the point is to name the record from the music. The breakdown above shows the years and the difficulty spread instead.

Is the Folk & Singer-Songwriter quiz free to play?

Yes, and there's no sign-up. Press play and a record starts. You can play as many rounds as you like here; the app adds ranked duels, friends rooms and pass-the-phone party games.
