Answers to common questions about listening, submissions, and APIs.
Discover source-attributed podcasts, radio, music recordings, video, feeds, and collections through one input. Search for something specific or paste a public URL, then listen or watch in the same player. Provider availability and search coverage vary; metadata is not a promise that an item can play.
You can paste public links from Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Pocket Casts, YouTube, SoundCloud, Audius, LibriVox, Wikimedia Commons, Vimeo, Mixcloud, Archive.org, Shoutcast, Icecast, and independent sites. The deterministic intake layer unwraps share text, Markdown, iframe HTML, feed URIs, provider app URIs, and malformed duplicated links before checking RSS, Atom, JSON Feed, Media RSS, JSON:API, oEmbed, M3U, PLS, XSPF, HLS, DASH, and direct public media. Access-gated or non-media resources remain attributed metadata instead of being mislabeled playable.
The collection identity is saved before background work gathers its entries. Queued, partially indexed, complete, and unavailable are different states. A saved playlist does not copy provider media or bypass restrictions, and large collections may continue updating after the initial save.
Search, saved metadata, collection enumeration, and playback are different capabilities. A provider may restrict an item, require a supported API, or be temporarily unavailable. The app should preserve source attribution and explain the limitation rather than invent content or silently send you elsewhere.
Yes. The platform exposes REST APIs and MCP endpoints for discovery and integrations. See /api/docs for endpoint details.
Prompted discovery
Each card becomes a real search across indexed feeds, episodes, archives, and public providers. Each visit draws 3 to 5 ideas from the shared catalog, sized for the screen.

Paste a public feed, episode, station, playlist, channel, archive item, or direct stream. The resolver recognizes RSS and Atom, JSON Feed 1.1, Media RSS, oEmbed, JSON:API, HLS, DASH, FLAC, common audio and video files, and supported podcast or music platform links. One source may produce a show, channel, playlist, and many playable entries.
The public record keeps the submitted URL, canonical publisher URL, normalized metadata, attribution, media variants, analysis, votes, flags, and application-added notes. New submissions persist to the shared library and appear by date for later visitors. Media bytes stay with the publisher unless an explicitly permitted archive operation is requested. Internet Archive records retain their item and file provenance.
PlatPhorm verifies an in-app playback path before showing Play. A short-lived Cloudflare relay normalizes safe range requests and rewrites HLS child references while the canonical source remains visible. If an original file is restricted, the player may choose a matching publisher-provided derivative and reports that fallback. Nothing silently opens another site. Search, recommendations, analysis, playback, and single-source additions are public; destructive and bulk operator actions remain protected. Read the privacy policy or inspect the API contract.
