Post one song a day, with the photos and videos that go with it. Your friends do the same. Pick the song that fits your day. Then add photos or videos from your library, or record new ones in the app. Put them in order, write captions, and add more as the day goes on. Follow friends to see the song each of them picked today. Rate their songs from 0 to 11, comment, tag someone, and send messages. Every day you post lands on your profile and in a calendar, so you can go back to any day and hear the song you picked for it. You can also save other people's posts privately to come back to later. Playback works through Apple Music or Spotify. What you can play depends on your service and subscription.
