pick your own ~tone~ on Tone—and customize everything else too!

feeds, playlists, filters, posts, tags, packs (more on those later 👀), and more.

*always* intentionally curated by humans. no AI, no algorithms.

resonate is functionally done. some of thrm have taken to code and continue work on @mirlo.space. for our part, we’re focused on a solution that also addresses streaming. thanks for checking it out!

Boycotting plutocratic big business is good. Supporting alternative systems is even better. When you spend at a co-op, your money benefits community members, not a wealthy elite. You also support a democratic institution in the economy, which strengthens democracy overall.

Shop co-op.

uploading music to new services sucks so bad! we know, we've done it thousands of times ourselves

upload songs & albums with our importer in seconds and watch your metadata pre-fill itself: lyrics, titles, art, and more. just drag and drop and we'll do the rest

Tone - Home Tone is an open source, artist & listener owned music listening service. We're building it out right now, help us decide what an equitable music marketplace looks like.

❌ no pro rata. no private equity. no fake artists. no union busting. no payola.

✅ listener-centric revenue. cooperatively owned and operated. open source, public database at launch. can’t be evil.

what would you change about Spotify? Bandcamp? Substack? what if the best parts of each existed as a unique standalone service, owned collectively by everyone who uses it? just some questions we’ve been thinking about every day for years 🫠. sign up for early access to our answer: tone.audio
