Notes on AI radio.
Essays on AI radio, continuous listening, how musen learns your taste, and how it compares to playlist streaming.
AI radio is a different way to listen: instead of building playlists or picking a station seed, you press play and a continuous stream of real music adapts to your mood, your habits, and the time of day. This blog is where we think out loud about that idea. We write about what AI radio actually is (and what it is not), how a radio can learn taste from requests and listening behaviour rather than questionnaires, and where the category sits next to playlist streaming, seed-based stations, and AI music generators.
Expect honest comparisons, design notes from building musen, and occasional reviews of the wider AI audio landscape. If you are new here, start with the essays below, see how musen works from press play to a radio that is yours, or read the head-to-head pages: musen vs Spotify, musen vs Apple Music, musen vs Pandora, musen vs Noema AI, and musen vs Serenada. Everything we publish reflects the current release: a free AI radio app for iPhone and Android, no paid tiers.
