We've paid special attention to being able to grab metadata from files to make it as painless as possible to upload your music, something a lot of you are doing multiple times across different platforms.

We support multiple artist accounts. You're a prolific person and you should be able to express yourself in many ways. Use one user account to manage several artist pages.

Sell your music! Musicians can set their price on their music, and people can buy it--pretty neat stuff. You can label albums as a pre-order with a set release date, and people can buy it in advance, appearing in their collection when it releases. For example, here's our kickstarter compilation album https://mirlo.space/team/release/kickstarter-compilation).

Listen to music! This might seem like a simple one, but our player is Pretty Good. It continues playing if you navigate away from a page (something we think is weird bandcamp doesn't do tbh).

Write blog posts! Blog posts are pretty fully fledged. You can set featured images, embed Mirlo music, and video playlists. They can go live at given times, save them as drafts, etc. Some of our users use Mirlo as a Patreon replacement (we're just one of them, support us at https://mirlo.space/team/posts)

Customize your page! You can add links, set a background image, choose your own color palette, etc. It's pretty cool, and people have gotten pretty creative (and some pages are tbh hard to read).

"That's a lot of stuff!" you say "how much does it cost me?"

Glad you asked! Right now we take a 7% platform fee, which is half of what bandcamp charges (except on Bandcamp Fridays...). All of that money goes into the platform itself, not into some rich investors pocket.

@mirlo everything on this recap is great. If I log in as an artist is their a clear link to each such feature because I'd never noticed any of it. Judging by your news summary I think maybe I should get Stripe set up! 🤗
