DISCOVER NEW MUSIC BEFORE IT BLOWS UP
BTR makes music discovery active instead of passive.

DROP ROULETTE
Hear one unknown track each day before the artist name, cover or hype is revealed. Listen first. Make the call. Then reveal who made it.

SCOUT
Hear an artist or track early? Scout it and build a record of what you backed before the wider audience arrived.

POWER CHARTS + TRACK BATTLES
Follow movement across countries, genres and sub-genres. See what is gaining momentum and put tracks head-to-head in battles where listeners choose.

LOCAL MUSIC SCENES
Scenes Heat turns real listening activity into a local signal so you can see what is rising around you. Browse music events, see what is happening in your city, RSVP and share the night with friends.

FOLLOW ARTISTS. GET CLOSER.
Streaming is only the start.
Follow artists, message participating artists directly and carry tracks, playlists, events and artist cards into conversation. BTR also supports tips, personalised Shoutouts and Superfan access where available.

MUSIC WITH YOUR PEOPLE
Add friends and create Crews — private music-first group spaces built around tracks, artists, playlists, events and real-time conversation.

SUPPORT THE ARTISTS YOU RATE
For participating artists, listeners can go beyond streaming.
Tip an artist, become a Superfan, back an artist early or request a personalised Shoutout. Exclusive drops and artist updates give fans more ways to stay close to the music and the people making it.

Ratings and reviews

BTR Music is a great platform for independent artists. Uploading music is straightforward, and I like the analytics that show streams, likes, shares, and audience engagement. It has helped me reach new listeners and monitor the performance of my releases. I'm excited to see the platform continue to grow and recommend it to artists looking for another way to share their music.

I have gotten more exposure more downloads more plays, more likes more everything from this ecosystem than I have gotten from any thing else that I’m a part of I don’t know why it is. I don’t know why I’m breaking out. They’ve even used me on some of their ProMo ads I mean this app is 100% worth indie music artist time!!!

just from using the web version of BTR i can tell you for independent artists this app is the very best especially when it comes to discovery. Look forward to trying the app version now.
