## What is album.cards?

Every Album Card is a beautifully designed physical card with an NFC chip inside. Tap it with your iPhone and the album starts playing — instantly. No searching, no logins, no friction. Just the music the artist wanted you to hear, the way they wanted you to hear it.

HOW IT WORKS
• Tap your Album Card to your iPhone — the album loads and plays automatically
• Don't have the app yet? Tapping a card still works: an App Clip plays the album instantly, no install required
• Stream in full quality, or keep listening offline — your albums are cached for when you're off the grid

MORE THAN MUSIC
• Liner notes, artist bios, and bonus media — the stuff streaming left behind
• Album-matched themes: the whole player takes on the look of each record
• Explore: browse public albums in 3D and preview 30 seconds before you tap in

FOR ARTISTS
Design your own Album Cards at album.cards — upload your music, style your card in the 3D creator, and put your album directly into your fans' hands.

Album Cards requires an iPhone with NFC (iOS 16 or later). Music plays from cards you've tapped — each card is your key to its album.
