Independent Music Platform
NODE Music™
Discover, stream, and support independent music. Artists keep 100% of their listed price.
Live
NODE Music is an independent music platform at nodemusic.fm, built and operated by Black Chalice LLC. Listeners stream full albums for free, find new artists, and buy music directly from the people who made it.
Artists keep 100% of their listed price. A small support fee is added on top and paid by the listener, so the platform never takes a cut of what the artist asked for.
For listeners
- Full albums to stream, not just previews, with a player that keeps going while you browse.
- Discovery by genre, umbrella genre, and subgenre, with several playback modes such as shuffle all, shuffle a genre, or play an artist.
- Search across artists, albums, and tracks.
- Name-your-price purchases, a cart with card and PayPal checkout, and tips for the artists you like.
- Available in 27 languages, with light and dark themes.
For artists and labels
- Upload albums with any number of tracks and set your own price.
- Node Bridge imports an existing catalog from Bandcamp, YouTube, or a ZIP file.
- ISRC codes are detected on import or can be entered by hand.
- Payouts through Stripe, PayPal, Wise, Payoneer, or USDC on Base, with earnings tracked in your account.
