Mic participation is explicit. Coarse location is separate opt-in. We store recognition identity/events, not nearby conversations.
Hear the world. Grow the song.
Opt in to recognize music playing around you, search the wider music ecosystem, save official music and video references, and contribute privacy-preserving real-world traction signals.
Recognition, not surveillance.
Echofundia records short temporary recognition windows only after you opt in. The browser clip is sent to the recognition service for matching and is not saved into your Echofundia library.
If a song from the Echofundia catalogue is playing around you — in a vehicle, a shop, a public place — this device first tries to match it by fingerprint, on the device. A match adds one ambient play to that artist's map with your connection's region only: fingerprints, never stored audio; region, never your exact location. Songs from outside the catalogue go to the recognition provider for discovery instead. Off is off — stopping Auto Listen ends all of it.
One real-world play. Many independent witnesses.
same time
Nearby devices do not multiply one speaker into fake paid plays. Cloud clustering deduplicates the same node and uses independent witnesses to strengthen one real-world event.
Search music + music videos.
Your expanding discovery library.
Listener earnings can only be credited after anti-duplicate, account, device and location-cluster checks. External provider playback is not rewarded unless a direct license explicitly permits it.
External catalog items remain on their licensed services. Echofundia can index, organize and route listeners while artist-owned Echofundia releases remain directly playable here.
