TL;DR VERSION:

We built an app to help artists make money while we, fans, can enjoy and discover their music for free (with no ads). Download our beta app by entering your email at signup.leaf.fm and click on the link we send you (iPhone and iPod for now, Android in the works). This is just the beginning of a long journey.

COOL, YOU STAYED TO READ IT ALL VERSION :)

We all know streaming services bring lots of plays to the artists, yet the great majority are left without ever seeing a dime from us (even when they plaster their work with ads) and none of these services makes it easy for us to buy cool stuff from them to support their art.

A few months ago we embarked on a mission to give it a shot and change this and with it to help artists make money while we, fans, can enjoy and discover their music for free.

With Leaf.fm we are focusing on giving the power back to the artist over their music and the access to their fans, while making it dead simple for them to offer us cool merch, tickets and music that we can buy knowing the money is going directly to them.

There is still a long way to go before we can achieve our mission, but we need to start somewhere. We have put heart and soul in building this, and today we want you to help us test the first version of our mobile app before we make it public to everyone.

To download the app just enter your email at signup.leaf.fm and tap on the link you get on your email from your phone.

As a cool bonus to you Redditors, we’ve made a playlist with a lot of songs from Reddit’s Summer 2014 Playlist! (http://www.reddit.com/r/Music/comments/273xse/reddit_lets_make_a_summer_2014_playlist/) Any song you want us to add to the list just share the song on twitter using the hashtag #addtoleaffm.

Cheers, The Leafers
