How to read every old recording
Rights Under Research
Streaming while ownership is researched. Every cent it earns is held for the rights holder.
Rights Verified
Ownership has been documented and verified by the archive team.
Rights Disputed
An active claim is being investigated. Revenue and playback are frozen.
Rights Pending — Not Available to Uploader
Historical recordings earn nothing for whoever uploaded them. Revenue stays frozen until a rights holder is verified, and payouts route only to that documented holder — never into a contributor's dashboard.

For estates, labels, historians & families of legends
Every submission is reviewed by hand. Nothing is published, streamed or monetized until rights and provenance are documented — and rights holders can claim any entry at any time.
