Leave a song where it belongs, discover what people have pinned nearby, and build a music history that feels like yours. PIN THE MUSIC OF YOUR LIFE Choose a song, pick a nearby place, and add a note or photo. Search for a track, use what's playing in Spotify or Apple Music, or share a song into Pindisco from Shazam or your music app. Tag people in your pin and choose who can see it before you post. EXPLORE THROUGH MUSIC Zoom out and explore songs people have pinned in other neighborhoods and cities. Zoom into an area to see its pins.

Your profile sets the widest audience for your pins, and each pin can be more private. For a Friends only pin, you can leave out the location while keeping your note and photo.
