## What is Tam Listen?

Tam Listen is for people who collect files. Lectures, interviews, live recordings, talks, audiobooks, and music you already own.

PLAY WHAT YOU OWN
Tam Listen plays your local and cloud-imported files without conversion. If you have it, you can listen to it.

ORGANIZE LARGE LIBRARIES
