Hi-Fi WAV streaming

Uncompressed studio masters at 44.1 kHz / 24-bit. The same files our Hollywood and Netflix licensees buy. No transcoding, no MP3 compromise.

Real orchestras

Every track is recorded by professional musicians — the London Symphony Orchestra, Abbey Road session players, world-class soloists. No sample libraries, no MIDI mock-ups.

Fair-pay model

Artists earn up to €0.20 per stream — over 60× the Spotify rate — and never less than €0.03. €12.00 of every €19.90 Standard subscription goes into the artist pool and is shared among what you actually play.

Your own music, too

With My Music you upload your own CD rips and recordings — WAV, FLAC, MP3, AAC — and play them next to the catalogue in their original quality. 10, 30 or 50 GB depending on your plan, strictly private, never counted against your streams.

Frequently asked

Why does Artyfile Stream cost more than Spotify?

Because more of it reaches the musicians. Artyfile guarantees rights holders at least €0.03 for every counted stream and pays up to €0.20; Spotify pays by streamshare with no fixed rate, estimated by third parties at about US$0.003–0.005 per stream. Artyfile also streams its own studio masters as uncompressed WAV. The price reflects what music costs to produce when real orchestras and studios are paid fairly.

What happens when I hit my monthly stream cap?

You can top up with 100 additional streams for €4.99 at any time, or wait for your subscription to renew next month. Streams do not roll over.

Is the audio really uncompressed?

Yes. Every track is delivered as 44.1 kHz / 24-bit WAV — the same studio master files our sync-licence customers buy for film and broadcast. No transcoding, no MP3 step.

Can I cancel any time?

Yes. Manage your subscription at stream.artyfile.com/account → Manage billing. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period.

Can I play my own music on Artyfile Stream?

Yes, with My Music: upload your own CD rips and recordings (WAV, FLAC, MP3, AAC) to a private locker — 10 GB on Small, 30 GB on Medium, 50 GB on Standard — and play them in the web player and the iOS and Android apps next to the catalogue, in their original quality. Plays of your own files never use your monthly streams, and your uploads are never shared.

Do I need a separate account for the app?

No. The same email and password you set up here logs you into the iOS and Android apps. One account, three surfaces.

What exclusive content does Artyfile Stream have?

The catalogue features recordings from Abbey Road Studios and the London Symphony Orchestra — hand-curated for exceptional production quality. We prioritise quality over quantity: every track is performed by professional musicians, not generated by AI or assembled from sample libraries.

Can filmmakers use Artyfile Stream for their work?

Artyfile Stream is a B2C product for private listening and discovery. Filmmakers and content creators use the app to scout music during ideation, then license tracks for commercial use through the main Artyfile marketplace at artyfile.com. It is the perfect discovery tool for creative professionals.

What is 'Listen to Own' and how does it work?

'Listen to Own' links the streaming app with Artyfile Limited Editions on artyfile.com. Discover a track you love while streaming, then buy a numbered 1% share of its master rights (€69.90 per share, at most 20 per recording), recorded in Artyfile's ownership register with a personal certificate — no blockchain, no wallet, payable in EUR, USD or GBP. Holders see their editions in the Owner's Lounge in the app. Any share of streaming and sync revenue depends on actual use, is not guaranteed and may be zero; a Limited Edition is not an investment product.

Why choose Artyfile over Spotify?

Spotify is the better choice for a 100-million-track library. Artyfile is for listeners who want label studio masters and a clear payout rule: your subscription's artist pool goes only to what you play, with a guaranteed minimum of €0.03 per counted stream, while Spotify pays by streamshare and leaves tracks with fewer than 1,000 streams a year out of recording royalties. Artyfile streams uncompressed WAV masters; Spotify Premium streams FLAC up to 24-bit/44.1 kHz. You can also keep your own CD rips in My Music and play them in the same player.

Where can I manage my subscription?

Manage your Artyfile Stream subscription at stream.artyfile.com/account — change your password, view remaining streams, or open the Stripe billing portal to cancel or update payment details.

Paul Lorenz, founder and CEO of Artyfile

“In an era where music as a cultural asset is being systematically devalued, Artyfile pioneers a paradigm where creators and listeners actually share in the value of what they make and what they hear.”
