// how it works

How it works

  1. Choose creation or library

    Generate new music with AI, or self-host the collection you already own.

  2. Install the app

    Desktop, mobile, and server builds cover every listening setup.

  3. Add models or music

    AI tools download models; players just need your files.

  4. Create or listen

    Generate tracks, or stream your library anywhere.
