Just music you believe in, and new ways to support the artists who make it. Stream what you love Listen to full albums, deep cuts, and the underground scenes you actually care about, on the go. Discovery is free You don’t need a subscription to find your next favorite track. Preview any song in the library before you commit in a way that makes it fair for you and for the artists. Buy music, keep it for good Purchase songs and full albums to add to your personal collection. Download high-quality files that are yours to keep forever. Every purchase supports artists Every time you press play, we pay the artist you’re listening to. No confusing royalty math. Artists keep 80% from the very first stream, we take 20% to keep the lights on. Pre-order unreleased albums Support your favorite artists before anyone else. Back new albums early, and we’ll let you know the moment they drop. Trending Music Stay in tune with what’s hot. Discover trending tracks and keep your playlist fresh.

The app itself is well made but there is music and artists that are missing or else I would give it a five stars.

This app uses AI. And for an app that’s supposed to be uplifting and helping the small creators I can’t seem to find any of my favorite but I can easily find snoop dog? He was the first thing I saw when I opened the app, well not if you count the AI, this is so stupid, AI is one of the top things that harms small creators and takes chances away from them even if you told me that this app only used it for the search engine or for some select images why on earth would I believe you? You’re already blatantly putting it in front of my face without trying to hide it so I feel like any “small creator” is just some big label trying to make extra money. This app is just hollow claims and a cash grab. I wouldn’t be surprised if this app was just generated by an AI on a random afternoon. Don’t get this app get an mp3 like me.

This is Tim Quirk, the guy in charge of Tapedeck. We do use AI in search, and don't hide that fact, but that's the only place we do. And the reason for that is to help, not harm our artists: because we are a very new service that is still acquiring catalog, listeners are bound to get null results when they search for specific artists if we don't yet have a license with their label or distributor. In order to highlight what we DO have that a given listener might enjoy, we have built a search engine using an LLM that enables listeners to speak to the app the way you might to a friend, telling Tapedeck not just who they want to hear, but what kinds of music they want to hear. Our LLM helps the artists in our catalog get discovered even when they're not what a given user was actively looking for, and enables our listeners to find new music to enjoy. I'm a musician myself, and while I revile AI that's used to replace creators, I am in favor of AI that helps creators get found. You're certainly free to disagree, but I can guarantee you that we're not just some faceless tech company using AI thoughtlessly. Tapedeck is built by musicians and music fans FOR musicians and music fans, and we are very cautious and deliberate about how, where and why we use AI. Personally, I distrust any music service that claims they avoid all AI, because I have yet to find any reliable way of detecting when a given track has been created by AI. We don't seek such "music" out and we don't promote it, but I only promise customers thigns I can genuinely guarantee.

Can download music for free (for the most part)

Interesting concept where you can watch ads and get credits to fully download and own music without actually spending money. It seems very new and I believe it just launched, which is I believe one of the reasons it has limited offerings in terms of big and popular artists. I think it could be a great place for DJs to download music for free and if the app really explores the EDM/House scene for downloading tracks for DJs it could be huge

Decent app, bad selection

The app itself isn’t awful, but their selection is. I understand that they are a new service and need to prove themselves before big names will attach themselves, but still on launch you should have at least a few big names rather than smaller artist no one has ever heard of nor are interested in listening to them. If they can get a better selection of artists then I think this app could be alright, but until then it’s practically useless to most people.

New drop, same mission. We’ve fine-tuned Tapedeck for faster streaming, better discovery, and even more ways to back your favorite indie artists. Update now and keep supporting the music that actually matters.
