FAQ

FAQ

Do I need to upload my music anywhere?

No. Music Hub is built around your existing local library and a desktop hub that serves it.

Is Music Hub a subscription streaming service?

No. The current product is a desktop hub plus companion app for your own music library.

Is Music Hub free and open source?

No. The distributed Mac and iPhone apps are proprietary commercial software from Gordo Labs, and they are not open source right now.

You may see public repositories or build-from-source instructions for development; that is separate from the license to run and share the official builds. Local / same‑Wi‑Fi use is available in a zero-cost mode (no paid remote license); remote access uses the paid flow described on music-hub.gordo.design (opens in a new tab). See Terms (opens in a new tab).

What do I need to use it today?

Today, the public path is:

  • a Mac desktop hub
  • an iPhone companion app through the current beta flow

Windows, Linux, and Android are not yet public distribution channels.

Can I use Music Hub only on local Wi-Fi?

Yes. LAN / Wi-Fi is the simplest and safest path.

Does remote access require anything extra?

Yes. Remote access depends on:

  • the desktop hub being configured for a remote route
  • the phone already being paired
  • a valid desktop license for remote playback

What is the current paid access for?

The current founding beta access covers the desktop hub access path and the current buyer/recovery/licensing flow around it.

If I lose the original download email, am I locked out?

No. The current buyer flow includes a recovery path for re-download and license recovery.

Can I share my full library publicly?

No. The public surface is intentionally narrow. What exists today is public share pages for specific tracks, albums, artists, and playlists.

Can I use it with Rekordbox or other playlist tools?

Yes. The desktop hub supports local playlist import flows for Rekordbox XML, M3U/XSPF, Traktor, Apple Music / iTunes XML, and Serato local crates/smart crates.

Is Android available?

Not as a public distribution channel yet.

Is Windows or Linux available?

Source builds exist, but the public beta is currently centered on the Mac desktop hub.
