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

❌ 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.
