Welcome to Flipper

Here’s how to get started.

Build a collection of albums you love, want to revisit, or need to check out. Then let Flipper help you decide what to play next.

Read on for a quick overview. Return to this page anytime by clicking Onboarding at the footer of the page.

Add albums to your stack

Think of Flipper as a living record collection. Old favorites, brand-new releases, or recommendations from friends. Search and click “Add to stack.”

When you want to listen, open Play an album now to pull a random pick from your stack. The album fills the screen, and you can play it in the streaming service of your choice, or flip to something else. It's like thumbing through a record collection.

Tip: set your preferred streaming service on your profile page (even Bandcamp and SoundCloud) so links always open where you listen.

Create multiple stacks

Once you've got a few albums saved, you can organize them into stacks. These can be for genres, listening situations: in the car, work listening, things to try, etc. Albums can live in multiple stacks.
