How MusicTent Works
A simple guide to the platform and everything it offers.
Getting Started
Create your account
Sign in with Internet Identity — no password, no email, no data harvesting. Your identity is yours.

Share music & battle
Add tracks to the playlist, react to others' choices, and challenge someone to a song battle.
Joining Music Rooms
Rooms are the heart of MusicTent. Public rooms are open to everyone — just click and join. Private rooms require an invitation from the room creator or a member. Once inside, you see the live chat, the shared playlist, and any active song battle. You can message the community, add tracks, or simply listen and react. There's no pressure to participate more than you want to.
Sharing Songs & Playlists
Paste a YouTube or Spotify link into the playlist panel to add a track to the room's shared queue. The playlist preserves the order in which songs were added, creating a collaborative timeline of the room's musical history. Room admins can reorder tracks; all members can add them. Every song you share earns you 3 leaderboard points.
Song Battles
Any room member can initiate a song battle. Propose a track, wait for a challenger to submit theirs, and let the community vote. Battles run in real time with live vote tallies. The winner earns points and gets their track permanently added to the room playlist. Losing a battle still gets your music heard — it's always worth entering.
The Leaderboard
MusicTent tracks your activity with a simple, transparent point system: every message you send earns 1 point, every song you share earns 3 points. Points accumulate over a 30-day cycle — a countdown timer on the Leaderboard page shows exactly how long until the next reset. At reset, all scores return to zero and the cycle begins again. This keeps the competition fresh and gives every member a fair shot at the top.
Premium Features
MusicTent Premium removes all advertisements for a completely uninterrupted experience. Your Premium status is tied to your Internet Identity and activates immediately after payment. You can manage, pause, or cancel your subscription at any time through the Stripe Customer Portal — accessible from your Settings page.
