Discover music through people, not algorithms
HUMS HUMS — The Human Music Map is an Android multimedia app that reimagines how listeners find music. Instead of relying solely on machine recommendations, the app highlights human connections: you see what real people in cities and countries are listening to right now, helping you stumble onto songs and artists through genuine tastes and conversations.
How the app presents content
HUMS offers two main browsing experiences to suit different moods and goals:
- Quick-access List View for scanning profiles and the Daily Tune selections.
- Immersive Map View where you can explore a live world map and tap into listening activity across locations.
You can narrow what appears by applying genre and subgenre filters, making it simple to surface music that matches your preferences.
Tools for expressing your musical identity
The app includes features that encourage sharing and discovery:
- Daily Tune — pick a track that matches how you feel today; it appears on your profile and on the map to represent your current vibe.
- Tune requests — ask others for songs or exchange recommendations to spark conversations and connections.
- Genre filters — refine searches by broad genres or detailed subgenres to find sounds that fit your taste.
Connect with major streaming services
HUMS integrates with popular streaming platforms so listening is seamless:
- Spotify integration lets you import and play tracks from your saved library.
- Apple Music support enables direct access to songs from your collection.
These connections make it easy to hear and share tracks without jumping between apps.
Community and cost
HUMS is designed to be an open, community-driven space for music discovery. The core service is offered free of charge so anyone can join, share tunes, and discover music through human interactions.
