5 Best Music Quiz Apps to Test Your Knowledge

Let’s be real: music is better when it’s a competition. Whether you’re a “walking encyclopedia” of 80s rock or you just think you have the best taste in your friend group, music quiz apps are the ultimate way to prove it.

I’ve tested a bunch of them, and here are the top 5 apps that actually deliver the fun.

1. Tapzz 🎧

I’ll start with my personal favorite (and yes, I’m the creator, so I might be a little biased). Most apps give you “generic” playlists. Tapzz is different because it builds quizzes around the music you actually like, and it can connect to your Spotify.

The Vibe: Authentic, social, and 100% personalized.
Why it’s cool: It’s built for real-life parties. No typing, no boring menus—just play the music and shout the answer. You can play your own “Liked Songs,” any public Spotify playlist, or even use AI to generate a custom quiz on the fly.
The Downside: To play your own playlists and Liked Songs, you need to connect Spotify (a free account is enough). Without Spotify, you can still play artists, genres and AI quizzes.

2. SongPop / SongPop Classic

If you’ve ever played a music quiz on your phone, you probably know this one. It’s the “heavyweight champion” of the genre.

The Vibe: Fast-paced, competitive, and very “app-like.”
Why it’s cool: It has a massive library and lets you challenge people from all over the world.
The Downside: It can feel a bit “pay-to-win” sometimes with all the power-ups, and the interface is getting a little crowded.

3. Bandle

This one is a bit different and super clever. It’s like Wordle but for music.

The Vibe: Minimalist and brain-teasing.
Why it’s cool: You start by hearing just the drums. If you can’t guess the song, you add the bass, then the keys. It’s a great way to see if you actually hear the “layers” of a song.
The Downside: You only get one “official” daily song for free, so it’s more of a quick ritual than a party game.

4. Mukiz

Mukiz is a solid choice if you’re looking for a classic song quiz experience on your phone.

The Vibe: Social and straightforward.
Why it’s cool: It has a “Knockout” mode which is pretty intense. It’s built for playing with friends and has a good variety of playlists.
The Downside: Many artist packs are locked behind a paywall.

5. Songtrivia2.io

This is a great “browser-first” option. No need to download anything—just open a tab and go.

The Vibe: Arcade style and chaotic.
Why it’s cool: You can jump into public rooms and play against 20+ people at once. It’s got that “Battle Royale” energy.
The Downside: The audio quality can be hit-or-miss, and it feels a bit less personal than the others.

The Verdict: Which one should you pick?

If you want a quick solo challenge while you drink your morning coffee, go with Bandle. If you want to compete against strangers across the globe, SongPop is your best bet.

But if you’re hanging out with friends or family and want a game that actually plays the music you love (and not just random Top 40 hits), I 100% recommend Tapzz. It’s the only one that can turn your own Spotify library into a game. Give it a try and see if you actually know your own songs as well as you think!
