We launched musen 10 days ago and have been paying close attention to one question:
Do people immediately understand what AI Radio means, or do they still map it to a playlist app with AI on top?
musen is built around a different premise:
listening should feel continuous, adaptive, and effortless. It's a different way of consuming media.
We also published a short tutorial showing how musen works, from AI Radio flow to segments and interaction signals like Love It and Re tune.
What feels clear already, and what still feels ambiguous?
Spotify
Apple Music
I spend way too much time skipping songs on Spotify trying to find the right vibe instead of actually working. How fast does it actually learn? Like if I'm in a weird mood and skip 10 songs in a row, does it adjust on the spot or does it take a few sessions to figure me out?
@yotam_dahan musen is designed to react to immediate signals like skips and re tunes, and it also gets better over repeated sessions as it builds longer term listening memory. So the honest answer is both: it should move with you in the moment and get sharper over time. If you stress test it with a weird mood session, tell us how it behaves :)
Have been waiting for a really great AI powered radio station.
Few questions. Is all the music and content AI generated? Or are you aiming to compete against Spotify with an AI DJ for human made music?
I see a gap in the former.
Congrats on the launch. Vibing to some musen right now while I get ready to launch my own product tomorrow :P
@syedos Not all the music is AI generated. Today musen uses AI as the orchestration layer for radio, not as a replacement for artists. So, the direction is much closer to AI radio, curating creator and licensed music, rather than an AI only music generator. The goal in the near future is to let artists upload their music and have it distributed across the musen network, earning every time their content is used inside a segment or live radio.
How are you handling music licensing for the tracks in the radio stream? The shift from track picking to passive listening is a really interesting direction.
@borrellr_ musen is designed to work with properly sourced music. Tracks come from creators and rights holders who make their content available to the network, and every use inside segments or live radio is tracked. We want to build a more user centric economy where listening time directly supports the creators people actually spend time with. The direction is to align distribution and compensation at the radio level, so creators benefit from how often their music is used. The goal is to create a direct bridge between artists/creators and their audience.
I tried it this morning and it feels quite different from normal music apps. You don’t really think about what to play, it just keeps going. Took me a few minutes to get it, but once it clicks it’s amazing! Well done and congrats on the launch!
@1000_dancers This is great to hear. Your comment is really useful for us, because musen is meant to feel more like radio than track picking. Really appreciate you taking the time to try it on launch day!
One small feedback. The hero on the website cuts off radio. So when I first landed on the site, I had no idea what it was. First AI ra... It took me a while before it landed.
Maybe don't cover the word :)
Is there any way to see my history? Or is the idea that its just constantly on rotation? The first song I listened to was phenomenal. Trying to find it again.
@syedos Right now the safest way to save something you want to find again is to like it, then it shows up in Interactions, inside your account screen. A dedicated history or recently played view would clearly help, and your comment is pushing that higher on our list! :)
