About robonobo

The ultimate social music app

See your friends' music libraries and playlists and listen instantly. Add your favourite tracks to your library, create playlists of your own and publish them via Facebook, Twitter, email or any way you like.

Import your friends from Facebook - or add your own - and have them updated automatically as you make new friends and find new artists.

Don't compromise

You don't have to choose between the flexibility of having your own music files and the convenience of streaming music from the 'Cloud' - now you can do both!

robonobo plays tracks from the network immediately, so you can listen from anywhere, and downloads the music files and saves them on your computer so you can burn them to CD, export them to your music player, or do whatever you want.

Openness Throughout

Cloud-based music providers don't want you to know that streaming and downloading are actually the same thing - they just deny you the ability to save the music after you've heard it. We believe you should be able to use your music as you like.

robonobo is fully open-source software with a plugin system for maximum extensibility, and we're committed to integrating with as many other open systems as we can.

Support Artists

We believe that by giving users openness and flexibility with music, artists can build relationships with their fans and ultimately make more money.

We're hard at work integrating artist features into robonobo, which will let them control the distribution of their tracks and sell music directly through the app, as well as tapping into the social network around their music and making great relationships with their fans.

This technology will protect you by making sure you don't accidentally share copyrighted music over the Internet, but it's not finished yet - and until it is, we ask that you limit your music sharing to public-domain and Creative Commons tracks, and those made freely available by the artist. With power comes responsibility.
