Why Parachord
That live recording only on YouTube. The Bandcamp-exclusive EP. The vinyl rip in your collection. Parachord finds them all and lets you listen to, collect, and playlist them together.
Prioritize your service plug-ins however you want. Whether that is Bandcamp as the default service, backfilled by a streaming service or one streaming service over the other. It's up to you.
See what friends are playing and just hitch a ride while they drive the aux.
Plug in Last.fm, ListenBrainz, or AI engines. It's up to you which ones - or all of them. Get suggestions from sources you trust, not black-box algorithms.
Someone sent you a Spotify link but you use YouTube? Paste it in. Parachord plays it from your sources - not theirs.
Standard XSPF format. Import, convert, export, share, and keep your curation forever—even if platforms disappear.
Get Parachord
Free, open source, and yours to keep.
