Lossless, always
FLAC at minimum. Hi-res where the artist provides it. The version you buy is the version that lands in your locker, the same one we'd hand you on a CD.
A buy-to-own music store, built around the people who actually buy music. Pay once for a track or album, get it lossless, keep it offline, transfer it to your kids in 30 years. No subscriptions. No DRM. No "you lost access because we lost the deal."
Built to feel like the record store you miss, with the convenience of the web.
FLAC at minimum. Hi-res where the artist provides it. The version you buy is the version that lands in your locker, the same one we'd hand you on a CD.
Your purchases live in your Cloud Locker, but they're not trapped there. Export to FLAC any time. Sync to your iPod. Keep it on a hard drive in a shoebox if you want.
For most purchases, more. Our take rate scales with the artist's revenue and starts at zero. The floor is firm: at least eighty cents of every dollar reaches the people who made the music.
Collectors members get an automatic discount on every purchase when the store opens. Lock founder pricing in now → /membership/.
Three small ideas that keep the store feeling like the record shop you remember, not the algorithm you don't.
Discovered a song? Play it three full-length times for free. After that, the track switches to a 30-second preview until you decide to own it. No login wall, no trial timer, no surprise paywall.
Heard something a friend would love? Send it. They get three free plays on you. After that, they see a buy prompt with the same eighty-cents-to-artist economics. No social-graph creepiness, no algorithmic gatekeeping, just the modern version of handing someone a mixtape.
Artists and labels can sell physical pressings through the store alongside digital. One checkout, one royalty pipeline, one place for the music you actually want on your shelf and your phone.
