Everything soundvia can do
A complete reference to every tool and feature on the platform — from upload to discovery, lyrics to listening parties.
Listening
How music reaches you on soundvia.
YourSpace
A personalized auto-playlist refreshed based on your listening history, your followed artists and community-bumped tracks.
Discovery
Browse new releases, trending tracks and genre or mood-based tags to find music you haven't heard yet.
Library
Save any release or playlist and access it from your library. Sort and manage your collection however you prefer.
HLS adaptive streaming
Audio is served using HLS for smooth, adaptive quality streaming. Tracks buffer intelligently based on your connection.
Listening history
Your play history is tracked so YourSpace and recommendations can reflect what you actually listen to, not just what you click once.
Cherry Select (AI)
Chat with Cherry Select by describing a vibe or mood in plain language. It returns hand-picked tracks from soundvia that match your prompt.
Word-by-word synced lyrics
Lyrics synced at the word level so each word highlights exactly as it's sung. Also supports standard line-by-line sync.
Cherry Summary (AI)
AI-generated lyric insight: themes, moods, highlighted excerpts and an age rating — automatically derived from the track's synced lyrics.
Community lyrics submissions
Listeners can submit lyrics for tracks that don't have them. Submissions are moderated before going live and credit the submitter.
