Notes User Guide

What notes are, how you get them, and what you can do with them.

The number at the top of the screen is what you have left. Notes are not a feed. They are the bank you spend on the crate: liner notes, a recommend after the free one. Month-notes refill if you are a member. Golden notes never expire.

Two kinds

  • Notes — this month’s bank on a membership, plus the few every new listener starts with. They spend first.
  • Golden notes — they never expire. Invites, shop doors, leftover month-notes, packs you buy, 10 when you join yearly. Spent after this month’s bank is gone.

What you can do with them

  • Write liner notes — one note, one album, once. After that the jacket stays on the shelf. Liner Notes User Guide.
  • Recommend a copy — one free send a day for members. After that, one note. Recommend User Guide.
  • Vouched is not a bid and not a leaderboard. Write the liner notes (3 points) or recommend the record (1 point each time). Highest total holds Vouched. A tie keeps whoever already holds it. Spins do not count — we cannot know if you really played it.

How you get them

  • Join3 notes to start.
  • A friend can send ten from their account. If you are new, you get those ten on top of the starting notes. They get ten golden notes when you join.
