    And secondly, either 1. Get out more or 2. Read more "whats this song" threads.

    sounds a bit useless if a song has no lyrics...

    Is that an offical rule? I'm not sure I'd agree, If it has parts and keeps me interested then I'd consider it a song, and all songs are music. Like I consider most Nine Inch Nails instrumentals to be songs. And where do you draw the line? what if a song has one word through the whole piece, is it still a song? I'm starting to think I should stop thinking about this :confused:

    Song has lyrics.
    Tune doesn't or is the musical part of a song.

    Cheers guys :)

    Yeah a song needs lyrics IMO. If it can't be sung then it's not a song.

    Disagree with this strongly.

    edit: But it seems that the dictionary disagrees with me, nonetheless, I shall continue to call pretty much any short composition of music a song, it feels like it fits as well as tune.

    using vocals though, so there is only a fine line between them

    If its a service you call then it won't be, if its a website, then it'll be ad-supported or subscription based.

    I'm pretty sure it's free if they can't recognise the song you play them
