The record

Purpose: Audius is a music streaming and sharing platform for artists, labels, and fans.
Artist uploads: Artists can upload and promote music for free, then offer releases free or for a price they set.
Listener features: Listeners can discover, stream, collect, like, and share tracks at no cost.
Audio quality: Streaming is delivered at 320kbps with a 48kHz sample rate, and artists can enable lossless downloads.
Search: Search filters cover profiles, tracks, albums, and playlists, with options including genre, mood, key, BPM, and download availability.
Paid content: Fans can buy tracks and albums using credit or debit cards or cryptocurrency, with payments going directly to artists.
Sales fee: Audius takes a 10% network fee on music sales and makes the remaining 90% available for instant withdrawal.
API: The REST API supports querying and streaming tracks, users, and playlists; most read endpoints need no credentials, while write actions require an API key and secret.
Developer integrations: Audius provides a JavaScript SDK, OAuth login, and a GraphQL subgraph hosted by The Graph for indexing Audius smart contract data.
Messaging privacy: Audius says direct messages are end-to-end encrypted so only the sender and recipient can read them; group messaging is unavailable.
Copyright policy: Uploads must be music the uploader owns or has explicit written permission or a licensing arrangement to use, and uploads are scanned for flagged content.
Verification: Artist verification requires a KYC/ID check and unlocks features including Fan Clubs and Message Blasts.
Support: Audius directs users to [email protected] for help with mistaken copyright takedowns and verification difficulties.
Devices: Audius supports modern Android and iOS devices, desktop apps for macOS, Windows, and Linux, and most web browsers.
