Hello! We're delighted you're here. To ensure everyone gets along, our Community Guidelines outline what is and isn't allowed on Earbuds, so we can focus on what matters most: deepening connections through music sharing.

As we grow Earbuds into a community and release more social features, we’ll add to this document. Until then, we want to communicate a few expectations to ensure everyone has a safe and enjoyable experience.

Principles

We want Earbuds to be a magical place where people come together to share, discover, debate, discuss, and geek-out over music. Keep these principles in mind when you use Earbuds and all will be well!

• Be yourself. We express ourselves through music. It’s such a joy to join conversations about music, and we hope you bring your full self to Earbuds.
• Be respectful. Everyone has the right to be treated with respect. Try to remember there are real people behind each screen.
• Be inclusive. Our differences make us unique, which is the spice of life! Welcome diversity. Your future self - and your music library - will thank you.
