TapTunes is a collectible physical music format delivered through Play On Demand Tap-to-Play Music Cards. With a simple tap on a compatible smartphone, music and exclusive content open instantly in the device’s browser. No apps, downloads, or memberships required. TapTunes works alongside vinyl and streaming, adding a physical ownership layer to modern releases. Tap. Play. Keep.

TapTunes is designed for artists, catalog owners, labels, brands, and live events seeking a collectible physical format for modern releases and activations. Cards can be customized for limited editions, tour drops, retail bundles, VIP releases, and brand collaborations.

The TapTunes "Backstage" Community is where fans move beyond listening and become part of the music. By tapping or scanning their TapTunes card, fans unlock a direct connection to the artist with exclusive tracks, personal messages, updates, merch, and special releases. No apps or downloads, just a real connection built around the music.

Yes. TapTunes POD Music Cards are intended to be sold as collectible releases. Pricing is set by the creator or rights holder. Many releases are positioned between $10 and $20 per card, with additional value created through bundles or exclusive editions. You control the margin.

Each TapTunes POD release can include up to 12 MP3 tracks. We recommend MP3 files at 320 kbps for optimal quality. Cover artwork should be square, 1200 × 1200 pixels, PNG or JPG. After ordering, you will receive a secure Dropbox link to upload your files. We print artwork exactly as it is submitted. If we notice anything that may be an issue, we will notify you. *Don’t have artwork ready? We’ve got you. We’ll design your TapTunes™ card so it’s polished, on-brand, and ready to go. Artwork services available at prevailing rates. Contact us.

A data connection is required to stream content. If a card does not tap immediately, hold it to the phone briefly or adjust placement near the device’s tap area. A QR code is available as a backup access option.

Each tap unlocks access to the music for up to 24 hours on that device. The player will remain active in your browser during that time, or until all songs have played. After expiration, simply tap or scan the card again to listen. This keeps access tied to ownership and preserves collectible value
