Why creators switch
Nothing to install, on either side
You upload in the browser, the listener opens a link. No plugin, no app, no account for the person you are sending to.
Analytics down to the person and the bar
Who played, from where, on what device, how far, and which parts they replayed or skipped, drawn on the waveform, live.
Built for music sent to specific people
Demos to labels, mixes to clients, albums to press: private links with password and expiry, lossless playback, attachments and files sent back.
