The Idea
A new kind of music player that invites all your streams, downloads, cloud music storage, playlists, radio stations and friends to the same party. It's about time they all mingle.
Features
Paste any music link from Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, or anywhere else. Parachord translates it and plays from your preferred sources.
Connect your own recommendation engines—Last.fm, ListenBrainz, ChatGPT, Gemini—and discover music your way, not the algorithm's way.
Real human curation. See what friends are playing, browse their libraries, and listen along in real-time. Music is better together.
Sync favorites and libraries from your existing services. Your carefully curated collection, unified in one place.
Browse and install plugins for new sources, metadata providers, and recommendation engines. Or build your own with our open API.
Standard XSPF format that works across services and survives platform changes. Your curation belongs to you, forever.
Marketplace
Connect your favorite services, metadata providers, and recommendation engines.
