Field notes
The page lays out separate paths for listeners, artists, and advertisers, and describes a player that works in a phone browser. Its data-saver estimate is about 45 MB per hour, with an example of roughly eight hours for 350 MB. Artists are said to be able to assign agreed shares to producers, writers, and featured performers. These are descriptions and claims on the homepage; the extracted evidence does not establish that the app or payment workflow is operating.
