NowPlaying: Music Discovery

Music, made more fun. Find records you'd never have run into on your own, then learn everything about them. Who played bass, where it was recorded, what it samples.

Featured on TechCrunch, MacRumors, iMore, 9to5Mac, DailyTekk, BGR, and more.

A new Album of the Day, picked for the genres you actually listen to. Swipe through Album Discovery to find records nothing else would serve you, drawn from the Rolling Stone 500, 1001 Albums, the Apple Music Top 100, new releases, and your own library. Read Pitchfork reviews and Bandcamp Daily picks in the same place, plus music books worth reading. Come back tomorrow for the next one.
