❓FAQ

Do I need an account to use playlists?

Public playlists are available to everyone. Subscriber-only playlists are visible but locked for anonymous users and Base plans. Upgrade on the Pricing page to unlock.

Where do I find my stream URL?

Visit the Listen page, select a playlist, and copy the HLS URL. If the playlist is subscriber-only, log in and ensure your plan includes access.

Do stream URLs expire?

Public playlist URLs remain stable. Subscriber playlist URLs are tokenized and time-limited per plan for security.

Concurrency depends on your plan. Base allows one stream; higher tiers increase the limit.

Is the music licensed for streaming?

Yes for subscribers. See Licensing for coverage details.
