Independent music,
on your own terms
VireMusic is a platform where artists publish music without middlemen, and listeners find it without algorithmic ranking games or ads. We're in an early, cozy stage right now — launching among friends and shaping the platform together with you.
Roadmap
What it looks like
Live interface pieces — not screenshots.
rain in the city, I walk without an umbrella
the streetlights seem to whisper along with me
and every step is a brand new line
For listeners
Player and stream
A global player on every page: queue, scrubbing along the waveform, keyboard shortcuts (space, arrows, M, R for repeat). Sound plays as a stream — no files to download.
Wave
An endless stream tuned to your taste: matched by mood tags, tempo, and key. When the queue runs out, Wave keeps going on its own. You can start it from any track.
Likes
Like tracks from the player, a track list, or the track page — the state stays in sync everywhere and collects in your profile.
Playlists
Your own collections in one click: add, rename, delete. Private or link-only. You can like other people's public playlists — they show up in your library.
Follows and feed
Follow artists — new releases and announcements land in your personal feed.
Mood tags
Tracks carry mood tags — Wave runs on them, and they make it easier to find music that fits how you feel.
Favorite moments
Mark the best seconds right on the track's waveform. Marks are anonymous and build up into a shared “heat” trail.
Synced lyrics
Lyrics right in the player: lines highlight as the track plays, and tapping a line jumps playback to that spot.
Sharing with a timestamp
Share a plain link or “from M:SS” — whoever opens it lands on exactly that second.
Listening now
The track page and the artist dashboard show a live counter: how many people are listening right now.
Search
A dedicated page, a quick inline dropdown, and a command palette via ⌘K / Ctrl+K.
For artists
Page and theming
A full-bleed cover, bio, links, and video. The artist sets colors, grain, and fonts for their own page — no code changes needed.
Uploading releases
Upload a source file — the platform cuts it into a stream and calculates the waveform on its own. Statuses range from draft to published (scheduling included).
Track card
BPM, key, an explicit (18+) label, liner notes, and credits. Co-writers and their shares live at the track level.
Track lyrics
Add synced (LRC) or plain lyrics — listeners see them in the player, highlighted in time with the track.
Analytics
Plays over 24h / 7 / 30 days, unique listeners, day-by-day trends, and repeat listens — all in the dashboard.
Announcements
Posts on the artist page with inline editing. Followers see them in their feed.
Smart links
Release landing pages with links to every platform — they work even without publishing the music on VireMusic itself.
What's next
Direct sales are coming: buy a track or release and support the artist directly, with no middlemen. Purchases are off in Stage 1 — we'll turn them on once everything's ready. Here's a preview of what it'll look like:
New release
