Discover records that connect with who you are. You can hear almost anything now. But one album can blur into the next, and the music that moved you slips away. synff is an album-first music discovery app for people who want to find records worth sitting with, understand why they matter, and learn something about their own taste. Start with artists you love. When you're ready to explore, request a Drop of six albums chosen with your taste in mind. Each comes with a reason to listen. It's a small stack to spend time with, not an endless feed to keep up with. Find a way in • Follow the artists that mean something to you in Rotation. They are a starting point, and you can keep adding to them as your taste grows. • Open a record to read its story and follow connections between artists. Go deeper into the music that caught your ear. • Search for an artist or album, identify music playing around you with Listen, or scan a record you come across. Make room for the reaction • Leave a note when a record moves you, even if you haven't found the perfect words for it yet. • In Recap, return to the albums from your Drop. Mark what you liked, loved, bought, missed, or decided wasn't for you. The choices you confirm help shape later album recommendations. • As those choices add up, your Fingerprint develops into a portrait of your taste, showing patterns in the artists and records you return to. Keep what matters Crate is for albums you own. Keep your physical record collection together, add a record when you buy it, or find a copy when one deserves a place on your shelf. If your collection is already on Discogs, you can import matched records into your Crate. Follow a feeling further Supporter adds Vibe Finder. Start from an album that interests you, describe what stays with you about it, and follow that feeling to another record. It's a way to be curious about music and land somewhere surprising. A Drop is yours to explore at your own pace. Keep your current one for as long as you like. One future Drop credit returns each Monday until your account is full: free accounts can hold one, while Supporter accounts can hold four. The full Drop, Recap, Fingerprint, and Crate experience is available without Supporter. Listen in the service you prefer. synff opens music there through a link; it doesn't play music itself or need access to your streaming account. There are no in-app ads to remove. We do not sell your personal data or give advertisers access to your taste. What you choose to keep, say, and share about music should stay yours.
