What’s in a Ramen Music Issue?

Our issues are a cross between a mix-tape, a magazine, and a prettied up webpage.
They are best experienced online (but of course you can download and listen where you like).

Twelve to fifteen tracks per issue from talented artists around the globe. Stream them online.

Prefer to listen on iTunes?
Grab a zipfile of High Quality 320kps mp3s or FLAC.

Read up on your favorite artists and tracks. Follow links to more of their stuff.

Download individual tracks. Let us know which tracks you loved most.

Share the full issue with a friend. Or 10 friends. Heck, post it on facebook or twitter.

High-resolution original artwork accompanies each issue, commissioned from music-loving artists around the world.

I Have Questions!

What kind of music is this?

Each issue is essentially a mix. The exact mix depends upon recent submissions received as well as the issue’s theme. Watch out, there are no genres here, only music that we love that we think you will love too.

Is there a free trial?

We’ve got something even better. Go ahead and check out a full copy of Issue #05. It’s on us.

If you decide you like us enough to subscribe, keep in mind you can cancel with a full refund at any time.

Wait, so the artists get paid?

Yup! Sustainability is our middle name. Artists are paid a flat rate per song, the amount depending directly on the current number of subscribers. Subscribe now and over 75% of your subscription will go directly to our talented artists.

How is the music selected?

We listen to tracks from every band, individual or group that submits to us. We accept tracks that we find to be beautiful, inspiring, enjoyable, and fit nicely with the other candidates.

Are the issues only available online?

Yes, each issue is a private online webpage with a playlist full of music, packaged up nicely with artist info, track details, cover art, oh my!

You can (of course) download the mp3s and play them (DRM-free and freely shareable) with your favorite player such as iTunes.

Can I view/stream the issues on my iPhone/iPad?

Yup! Our issues are built specifically to be iPad friendly and stream on all iOS and android devices.
