Digger Music

Read full description

Your pocket record store. Every week, thousands of new albums and EPs drop across Apple Music, Spotify, Deezer, and Bandcamp. Most of it never reaches you. Digger Music sifts the global flood and shows you only the releases that match your taste — like a crate digger who knows exactly what you're into. No algorithm deciding for you. No "recommended for you" loops. Just a clean daily feed of new music, the way it used to feel walking into a record shop on a Friday afternoon. WHAT YOU GET • A daily feed of brand-new albums and EPs from 8,000+ artists worldwide • Coverage across four sources: Apple Music, Spotify, Deezer, and Bandcamp • Singles, compilations, and reissues automatically filtered out — only real drops • Follow up to 5 artists and see their new releases in your Library • Search the full catalog by artist or release • Tap any release to open it instantly in Apple Music, Spotify, or Deezer SIXTEEN GENRES, ONE FEED Hip-Hop & Rap, Pop, R&B & Soul, Electronic, Rock, Indie, Dance, Latin, Metal, Jazz, Country, K-Pop, Reggae, Folk, Classical, Soundtrack. Pick what you care about. Mute what you don't. BUILT FOR LISTENERS, NOT METRICS Digger Music is the opposite of a streaming platform. We don't run an algorithm. We don't push playlists. We don't have a "For You" tab trying to keep you scrolling. The app exists for one reason: to make sure you never miss an album you would have loved. If you're the kind of listener who used to check the new arrivals wall every week, who still believes an album is a body of work and not a vibe playlist, who follows a hundred artists across genres nobody else seems to track — this is built for you. DIGGER PRO — OPTIONAL UPGRADE Digger Music is free to use with the core discovery feed and up to 5 followed artists. Digger Pro unlocks unlimited follows, push notifications the moment your artists drop, a personalized weekly digest, and advanced filters.
