Read full descriptionHide full description
Soup is a music-sharing community for unreleased tracks, demos, works in progress and finished music, shared one track at a time by the people making it. Listen without an account. Discover independent and underground artists in a chronological feed, switch to Random, or search for artists and tracks. Open artist notes, follow playback through Soup's close-moving waveform, and join public conversations. There are no public likes, popularity charts or recommendation algorithms deciding what you should hear. Create one Soup account to follow artists, keep private Saves, comment and upload your own music. Uploading is open to every verified account. Keep up to two tracks you own live at once, invite collaborators, add detailed music credits and choose whether comments or downloads are available. Collaborations owned by someone else do not use your track slots. Share any track directly with anyone on the web, or listen in the Soup iPhone app. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
