1001Tracklists alternatives for sets without a tracklist
What to use when the set you are after has no list, or only half of one.
The short answer: start with 1001Tracklists, because it is free and people who know the music keep it. A set only has a list there if someone added one, so for a set that is missing, or a list full of IDs, use a tool that listens to the recording itself.
What 1001Tracklists does well
It is a community database. Big festival sets and well-known radio shows often have a list soon after they are played, and the people adding them can name records no recognition service has heard yet. For those sets it is hard to beat, and it is free.
When a set has no list
Smaller sets, livestreams, local nights and older mixes depend on someone having the time to write them down. When nobody has, there are three things left to try: other community sources such as MixesDB, the comments under the upload, and audio recognition. The guide to finding a DJ set tracklist walks through all of them in order, and Shazam on its own will not name a whole set.

Where Traklyst fits
Traklyst does not replace a community list. It reads the lists that already exist, in the description, the comments and on MixesDB, and checks them against what the recording actually plays. Where there is no list, it builds one from audio recognition, with timestamps, and every tracklist it makes stays public for anyone to open.
It works with YouTube and SoundCloud links. It cannot name a record that is not released yet: those stay in the list as an ID. If a set is on 1001Tracklists with a full list, you do not need Traklyst for it.
