Features

Audiomack is an on-demand streaming service. Offline playback is free to all users and not blocked by a paywall. Users and artists can upload their music to the service through its website, and Audiomack uses a combination of fingerprinting, DMCA takedown requests, and curation to police unauthorized sharing. Audiomack does not limit or charge uploaders for storing content on the service. Audiomack also receives music through licensing deals with labels and distributors such as 300 and EMPIRE, and manages rights through its relationship to Songtrust.

Content

Audiomack runs several original content series, including Trap Symphony, which it has run with Migos, Chief Keef, and Rich the Kid, among others, and Fine Tuned, which has featured YNW Melly and others.
