I’ll keep this short. I think social media can be better, especially for music lovers. Instagram/TikTok hurts to use. Corus (Corus.fm) is only about sharing what you love, and following people to get an instagram-like feed of their favorite music, integrated with Spotify/Apple. A lot of us on the app love Mac. You're sincerely all welcome to come join the listening party!

P.S. 10 years ago I made the app Cymbal with some friends, you might remember it. Had to shut it down due to money problems sadly. Now I'm hoping to do things a little differently, this time solo. No ads, no ai slop or manipulative algorithms. Happy to answer any questions if there are any :)

Okay, it’s not ONLY for sharing CW. BUT, hear me out.

I think social media can be better, especially for music lovers. Corus (Corus.fm) is about sharing what you love, and following people to get an instagram-like feed of their favorite music. It connects to Apple Msuic and Spotify. A lot of us on the app love Cameron. When you post him, you’ll see the others than love him too. So come join us, fetch the bolt cutters (of Instagram’s chains) and let me know what you think!

Hi r/music!

I'm very excited to let you all know about the launch of Corus, available on the App Store, Play Store, and Web.

12 years ago, I launched Cymbal with a few close friends. Unfortunately due to financial issues, we had to shut it down. A lot has changed since then: Music discovery has become nearly fully driven by algorithms, and social media as we know it shows us ads every 10 seconds and is getting more and more filled with AI slop. There simply isn't a good home to be social around the music we love. So I'd like to give it another shot. With Corus, I want to push back in the other direction.

On Corus you share music (and film) you love. You curate your profile, so that it’s the perfect representation of who you are. You follow friends (and strangers) and get a live chronological feed of their picks. You can tap to play the songs, export to Spotify, or play the songs fully with Apple Music within the app. Soundcloud is supported too. As you post, Corus will find other users that have a similar taste to you, by showing you users who have shared the same songs/artists. You can like/comment/repost just like other social media. The important thing is that it’s a place where it’s all about what you love, not about what you hate like other platforms. It’s a celebration of art and of what you feel in the moment. Art is just better when it comes from real people.

I would love for the r/music community to give it a go and give feedback. I hope this can be a project driven by musicians and music lovers. My first goal is to keep the app up forever and pay for the servers, but later on I hope it can be a space for musicians, curators and DJs to make money as well.

Thank you so much,

Gabe
