How do I find the right music?
There are two ways to find tracks on Fatstep: describe what you want in the search bar, or start from a track you already like and ask for more in the same vein. Search by words Type an artist, song, genre, mood, or label into the search bar. Results are grouped so you can jump straight to songs, artists, releases, or playlists. The search reads meaning, not just names, so describing what you want works too: "warm lo-fi piano for a slow montage" returns sensible results even when none of those words appear in a title. More like this track When a track is nearly right, open its menu and choose Similar songs. Fatstep compares it to the rest of the catalogue by sound and brings back the closest matches. A song page carries the same list under its Similar tab, and a release page suggests related releases at the bottom. Narrow it down Filter the catalog by Genres, Moods, Instruments, Tempo, Duration, Vocals (or instrumental), Key and BPM, and sort by Staff Pick or Newest. You can play any track in full before you decide - you never have to buy to preview. Related - How do I keep the artists and tracks I like? - Buying music and how pay-what-you-want works
How do I keep the artists and tracks I like?
Save what you like so it is easy to come back to, and keep up with the artists you care about. Favorite tracks, artists and playlists Tap the heart on any song, artist, or playlist to add it to your Favorites. Following an artist works the same way, so their page is always one tap from your account. Build your own playlists Create a playlist and add tracks from a song's menu (Add to playlist). Set it to Private (just for you) or Public (shareable with a link), and give it a cover image. Where to find them Your Favorites and Playlists live in your account menu, so your whole collection stays in one place. Related - How do I find the right music? - Where is my music after I buy?
