# Acetate

> One album at a time. A music curator that reads what you write and remembers how you listen. Consciously slow music discovery — not a streaming service.

Acetate is a subscription app ($3.99/month, $39.99/year, 7-day free trial, no credit card required) that recommends one music album at a time. Each recommendation is chosen by an LLM curator that reads the user's written listening reflections. Users listen on their existing streaming service (Spotify, Tidal, Apple Music, or YouTube) — Acetate does not play music itself.

## What makes Acetate different from streaming-service recommendations

- Recommendations are albums, not tracks — one complete record at a time
- The curator uses user-written reflections, not play-count signals
- No algorithmic feed, no endless queue, no time-on-app optimization
- Cadence is user-paced — the next album arrives when the listener asks for it
- Every feedback entry goes directly to the curator; no lossy intermediate profile

## Feedback and recommendations

After listening, users write a short reflection in the Listening Journal (~20+ characters). The curator reads every reflection the user has ever written and uses the pattern across them to choose the next album. Users can also provide optional one-time "directed discovery" hints for a single upcoming recommendation.
