In binb, that is the entire loop: a short clip of a song starts, every player in the room hears it at the same moment, and each one races to identify it by typing the artist, the title, or both into a shared chat-style input. There are no buttons to tap and no choices to pick from — the answer has to be typed, and the server matches it against the artist and the song name independently, so naming only one half still earns partial credit. The faster your correct guess lands relative to everyone else, the more you score, and a match runs a fixed number of songs before a final scoreboard declares the top three. It is open-source, written by Luigi Pinca under the MIT license, and the whole client rides on WebSockets, so a modern browser is the only real requirement; the live rooms are split by genre — hits, pop, rock, rap, oldies, and mixed — so you pick the catalog you actually know, and a global leaderboards page tracks the standout players across rooms.

If you recognize the artist instantly but the title is still forming, send the artist alone — the server awards partial credit per field, and an early single-field guess often beats a late complete one because the speed multiplier rewards whoever locks in correct information fastest. Spelling does not have to be perfect, but get close, because an obvious typo costs you a round you otherwise knew. Keep the volume up and the room quiet, since the snippet is short and a buried vocal line is the usual reason a known track slips past. Stick to one genre room before you queue for mixed: the catalog depth in pop or rock is shallower, so recall gets faster with repetition, and your ear learns which artists that pool leans on. Watch the public chat only to read the room, not to copy — your own guess is what scores, so do not wait for someone else to reveal the answer you already have.",{"title":81,"searchDepth":82,"depth":82,"links":83},"",2,[84,85,86],{"id":51,"depth":82,"text":52},{"id":59,"depth":82,"text":60},{"id":75,"depth":82,"text":76},"md",null,"2026-07-09",{},true,"\u002Fgames\u002Fbinb",{"description":6},"games\u002Fbinb","EqRLB35li15KlLImHHl4ngiBEIofsIImE4rNQR3IS9I",1783575111595]
