How it works

One marketplace.
Three ways in.

Fans own the music they buy and stream it instantly. Artists sell on their terms and get paid directly. Labels run their whole roster in one place — and everyone's money goes where it should.

For fans

Buy it, own it, play it.

Music you buy is music you own — stream it or download it, no subscription required.

Browse & preview

Every track has a free preview. Press play on anything to hear it before you buy.

Buy = own + stream + download

Buy a track or album and it's yours for good. Stream it instantly in the app, or download the original file to keep.

Pay what you want

Many releases let you set your own price above a minimum — pay more to support the artist.

Subscribe to an artist

A monthly membership streams that artist's whole catalog and members-only tracks while you're subscribed. No downloads — it's all-you-can-stream for that artist.

Your Library

Everything you've bought lives in your Library, ready to stream or re-download anytime.

Follow & feed

Follow artists and your feed surfaces their new releases the moment they drop.

Free vs. buy vs. subscribe

What you get to play.

Free

Previews

Anyone can stream a free preview of every track. No account needed to listen in.

Buy

Stream + download

Buy it and you own it: stream the full track in the app and download the original to keep.

Subscribe

Stream the catalog

Subscribe to an artist and stream everything they've made while you're a member. Streaming only — buy a track if you want to keep it.

For artists

Sell on your terms. Get paid directly.

You keep your catalog, your rights, and 85% of every sale — paid straight to your own account.

Upload tracks & albums

Upload your audio and cover art; we generate the free preview automatically. Group tracks into albums.

Set your price

Charge a fixed price, or let fans pay what they want above your minimum — per track or per album.

Paid directly — keep 85%

Connect Stripe once. The moment a fan buys, your share lands in your own account. The platform takes a flat 15% (10% for artists on a Pro label).

Fan memberships

Set a monthly price and let fans subscribe to stream your catalog. Each payment is split and paid to you the same way a sale is.

Members-only releases

Flag a track as members-only so only your subscribers (and buyers) get the full version. Previews stay public to draw people in.

Your dashboard

Track sales, earnings, and your catalog from one place. Your masters and metadata stay yours.

For labels

Run your whole roster in one place.

Invite or create artists, set fair splits, and let everyone get paid directly — no money passing through you.

Invite or create artists

Bring existing artists onto your roster by invitation, or create managed artist profiles you run yourself.

Fair splits, shown up front

Set the revenue split on each artist. Signed artists see and accept the exact split — and are always paid their share directly.

One dashboard

Manage every catalog, switch to act on behalf of any artist, and see the whole roster's performance in one view.

Label Pro

Upgrade to $59/mo (or $566.40/yr): drops the platform fee on your artists' sales and memberships from 15% to 10% and lifts the free 3-artist roster cap to unlimited.

FAQ

Good to know.

Do I need a subscription to listen?

No. Previews are free, and anything you buy you own outright — stream or download it with no ongoing fee. Subscriptions are an optional way to stream a specific artist's full catalog.

If I cancel an artist subscription, do I lose my purchases?

Never. Subscriptions only affect streaming access to that artist's catalog. Anything you bought stays in your Library forever.

How do artists get paid?

Directly. Artists connect Stripe and receive their share at the moment of each sale or membership payment — it doesn't pass through FiddleDawdle or a label first.

What does it cost?

Free for fans and free to join as an artist or label. Artists keep 85% of sales; labels can optionally upgrade to Label Pro for a lower fee and an unlimited roster.
