Every song gets a fair hearing
New music on Auben plays for strangers first. What they do with it, not who the artist knows, decides what rises. No followers to buy, no algorithm to game, no paying your way to the top.
For listeners
Free, always.
Hear it before anyone
Thirty second clips from artists nobody has heard of yet, one at a time. Skip when you want. Nothing plays twice.
Your save is a vote
A heart is cheap and a save costs something. Both count toward whether a track goes to 500 strangers next, then 5,000.
Be early and it shows
Save something before it rises and your saves page says so. The scouts who keep calling it first hear new tracks first.
For artists
Free to put up a track. Pro tools later, rank never.
Fifty strangers, not your friends
Every track you put up plays for about fifty listeners who follow nobody you know. Their listening decides, and only theirs.
Nothing to buy
No promoted placement, no boosted post, no algorithm to feed. Money buys speed and tools here. It never buys rank.
Numbers you can use
Where each track sits on the ladder, who heard it out, what strangers liked and saved. Then the listener who found you can message you.
How it works
Step 1
Put up a track
You pick the 30 seconds strangers hear first.
Step 2
Strangers decide
It goes to about 50 genre matched listeners who have never heard of you. Plays from your friends and followers do not count.
Step 3
It rises or it rests
Whether they like it, whether they save it, how long they last. That is the whole vote.
