Aux Battles
Aux Battles is a free browser music battle game where friends submit Spotify, YouTube, or SoundCloud picks and vote blind.
About This Game
Aux Battles turns the aux-cord argument into a browser party game. A host creates a room, shares a four-letter room code, and picks a prompt-style topic like "best road-trip song" or "song that makes the villain entrance work." Everyone submits their best matching song from Spotify, YouTube or SoundCloud, then the room votes on the picks before the leaderboard reveals whose track won.
The format is closer to Music League or a live playlist battle than to a pure guess-the-song quiz. You are not trying to identify clips as fast as possible; you are trying to read the room, choose the funniest or strongest track for the prompt, and defend your music taste when the reveal hits. That makes Aux Battles especially good for friends who already talk about music, remote hangouts where a normal trivia quiz feels too rigid, or stream communities that want the chat to participate in song picks.
The submitted site describes standard rooms as free, no-login, no-download browser play, with Spotify, YouTube and SoundCloud song sources. It also advertises Twitch Battles for streamers, including classic, bracket tournament and friends-mode formats where chat can vote or submit songs. Keep the distinction clear: standard friend rooms are the simple party-game fit, while Twitch modes may require streamer setup and channel connection.
Aux Battles is best when your group wants to argue about taste, not answer trivia. For clip-guessing rounds, compare it with Songlio, SongPop, and our ranked music guessing games guide.
How to Play
Create a room
Open Aux Battles in a browser, start a room, and share the four-letter code with your group.
Pick a topic
Choose or create a music prompt so everyone is submitting songs to the same theme.
Submit songs
Players search Spotify, YouTube, or SoundCloud and add the song they think best matches the prompt.
Vote blind
Listen through the entries, rate the picks, and reveal the leaderboard after voting closes.
Tips & Strategy
- Use prompts that reward personality, not just obvious chart hits — “song for the final boss walkout” gets better answers than “best pop song.”
- Tell everyone which source works best for the group before the first round so song submission does not turn into setup time.
- Run it over a voice call for remote groups, because the arguments after each reveal are half the fun.
- For a Twitch stream, test channel connection and moderation flow before going live; the streamer features are more setup-heavy than a private room.
