AI music listening parties
An artist publishes a release and picks a time. At that time we all listen to it together, with a chat, same second for everyone in the room. The artist hosts it, it's free once you sign in, and it lasts as long as the release, two hours max.

Questions
- What is a listening party?
- It starts at the time the artist picked, same second for everyone in the room, and it lasts as long as the release, two hours max. We've run 90 so far.
- How many people come?
- We're new and the rooms are small, a few people most nights, the artist included. I remember one in August, 15 people came and the artist couldn't believe that many people were listening to him for real.
- Is it free?
- Yes, you only need to sign in to listen and to chat.
- What music plays?
- Suno, Udio or another AI tool, in part or in full, the artist says which one, and some use none. They also say what they did themselves, the lyrics, the vocals, the mix, and it's on every release page.
- Can I buy the music during a party?
- Yes, there's a small discount while it plays. In August, 5 of the 15 bought the record while it played, $25 for the artist. 85% goes straight to the artist's own Stripe. You buy streaming here, no download.
- What is a Discovery party?
- Launch party: one release, the artist hosts. Discovery party: a playlist of 10 tracks or more, one per artist, whoever made it hosts.
- I missed a party. Can I still hear it?
- Yes, for 48 hours after a launch party, one replay each. The button shows up 15 minutes after the end and the host can turn it off. Discovery parties don't replay.
- Can I host one?
- An artist gets one launch party per release. For a Discovery party you make a playlist of 10 tracks and you pick a time.
