Why Euterpe?

There are many music streaming services. Propriatery or otherwise. Why this one?
Everywhere

Everywhere

Access your favourite music frome anywhere you might be! Don’t let it stay neglected on the dusty hard-drives at home. And since you are using the music you already own there are no regional blocks or restrictions.

Support Artists

Support Artists

Support artists by buying their music directly. Spend your money on the people actually creating. Instead of paying to tech giants with unknown deals and questionable business practices.

Open Source

Open Source

All the Euterpe ecosystem is open-source. If you need something there is a clear way how you could achieve it. No matter however niche or unprofitable for a big company.

Does Not Track

Does Not Track

Euterpe does not track you. It never will. Your listening habbits will not be used by unknown people to make money from.

Do Not Lose Access

Do Not Lose Access

By owning your music data you cannot lose access to it. Propriatery streaming services die or even worse - disable paying accounts. Do not throw your money into the wind. Instead build a lasting collection of music.

Unlimited Devices

Unlimited Devices

You could connect as much devices as you would like. Unlike propriatery offerings which typically limit the number or devices. The only limit is how much could handle the computer you’re running it on. This could hundreds or thousands of devices for very modest hardware. Nimble, told ya!
