Zuke Media Player
A visual music player to build your soundscapes. Associate your tracks with "live images" to create the mood you've always wanted. Welcome to the only mood centric social network.
Music with attitude
The Player
Live Visual Sync
Your tracks aren't just heard, they're seen, they're felt. Pair your high fidelity audio with interactive "Live Images" that represent the mood of your music.
Waveform Interaction
Powered by Wavesurfer.js, our player provides a tactile, visual representation of your audio impression, allowing for precise navigation and immersive listening.
HLS Streaming
Built with Rails 8 and optimized for performance, ensuring your audio impressions load instantly and stream flawlessly across any device.
10 Band Equalizer
Tune your audio with ease. 10 bands of functional range or choose common presets. Save the setting to the track, not the player. Set the frequency to your life's soundtrack.
The Soundscape Collection
We've reinvented how digital creators get paid. Musicians and Visual Artists team up to release limited-run Soundscapes. Every purchase directly compensates both artists for their base work, while the scarcity premium supports the platform and rewards the collaboration.
Fair Split Guarantee
Musicians and Artists set their own base rates. No opaque algorithms.
Verified Ownership
Only Y copies ever exist. Your library becomes a gallery of rare impressions.
Your Music, Untethered
The Zuke engine is optimized as a Progressive Web App. Scan the code to launch the player on your device and install it directly to your home screen for a full-screen, immersive experience without the app store friction.

Zuke Radio
Magic happens when artists and musicians connect. There are only so many of these unique soundscapes created and the radio will play them until they're all gone. Tune in to discover the latest and greatest from our community of creators, or submit your own Soundscape for a chance to be featured on the airwaves.
