Key Features

Sonic Marvel
Meet the neural network that delves deep into their music collection, powering fresh features and enhancing existing ones. Why settle for generalized metadata to discover similar artists when they can explore the genuine connections between artists, albums, and songs using our advanced sonic technology?

Radio Enthusiast
Our Sonic data forms the foundation for Track Radio and Album Radio, both of which play albums that share sonic similarities.

Mix It Up
Have their server compile recent favorite albums into unique mixes, or journey back in time and create historical playlists.

Time Capsule
Indulge in musical nostalgia with reminders of album birthdays. Discover what albums were released 20, 30, or even 50 years ago.

Album Organization
Recognizing that not every album fits the same mold, we now categorize albums by type on the artist's page.

Music on the Go
Take their music with them on the road with CarPlay and Android Auto. With robust offline support, they can download hours of their favorite playlists or stations for companionship during off-grid adventures.

Visual Delights
Experience their music collection in a whole new light with UltraBlur backgrounds, a variety of mesmerizing visualizers, and four distinct visual themes catering to every taste.

Seamless Playback
Enjoy loudness leveling, true gapless playback, smooth fades, and more. Custom pre-caching ensures that their music keeps playing, even when life takes them through tunnels.
