BitwareTunes is 100% self-hosted and independent. If you like our service, consider a small donation to help support server costs and ongoing development. We prefer to keep the catalogue entirely free from ads.
☕ Support server costs & development on Ko-fi
BitwareTunes is 100% self-hosted on our own hardware and infrastructure in Skåne, Sweden. If you enjoy the music, the web player, or our Android app, please consider a small tip or donation on Ko-fi to help support server costs, GPU cluster rendering, and active development. We rather keep the site free from ads.
🛡️ Zero Commercials
No audio roll ads, no intrusive banner popups, and no corporate sponsor breaks in the middle of your music. We believe music should be heard uninterrupted.
🖥️ 100% Self-Hosted
We own and operate our streaming servers, database clusters, lossless audio file storage, and GPU generation nodes directly in Skåne, Sweden.
⚡ Continuous R&D
Your support directly powers neural audio synthesis research with YuE 2, offline 24-bit DSP mastering, and software development across web and mobile.
Why We Rely on Fan Support
Mainstream streaming platforms monetize listeners through invasive behavioral tracking, programmatic advertisement networks, and subscription walls. From the day BitwareTunes was founded, we made a conscious choice to take a different path:
- No corporate sponsors or tracking cookies: We don't sell your listening habits to advertising brokers or data brokers.
- Free, open-access streaming: Anyone can listen to our entire roster of AI acts and discographies without paying a mandatory fee.
- Heavy infrastructure requirements: Running dedicated GPU nodes for neural audio generation, hosting multi-terabyte lossless FLAC archives, and delivering low-latency audio streams creates real monthly hosting bills.
By chipping in a small donation on Ko-fi, you help keep the servers running, bandwidth paid for, and the player actively maintained and improved.
