Introducing Frames: Music That Understands Your Life We've been listening to how you actually use Josplay. You don't just want African music, you want the right African music for your morning coffee ritual, your evening book club prep, your late-night writing sessions. Frames are here! Think of them as culturally intelligent soundscapes that adapt to your rhythm. Whether you're deep in a novel or cooking your grandmother's favorite recipe, Frames delivers music that honors both the moment and the culture. How Frames Work: 1. Total Control: Use the customization button to rename your Frames, add your favorite artists, albums, and songs. "Literary Listening" could become "Reading Toni Morrison" or "Study Vibes" - whatever speaks to your life. 2. Smart Discovery: As you listen, we'll introduce new songs we think fit your Frame's vibe. You'll see exactly what we added and why. Love it? It stays. Wrong vibe? Thumbs down, and we'll learn never to suggest it for that context again. Frames just got more personal. Customize with ease – Rename your Frame, add or remove artists, releases, or songs. Use the new Frames customization button to make each Frame truly yours. Contextual baskets of sound – Think of a Frame as a basket of songs crafted for a lifestyle moment. As you discover new artists or tracks, you can add them directly into any Frame. Smarter discovery – While listening, you’ll also encounter new songs you didn’t add yourself. We’ll let you know when this happens and why. If it doesn’t fit, give it a thumbs down—Josplay will adjust and suggest it in a better context. Learning with you – Frames evolve based on your listening habits, time of day, cultural leanings, and feedback. The more you use them, the more they reflect your taste.
