The albums that define you.
Pin the records that belong at the front of the crate. Your library is a visual grid people see first when they land on your profile — the shorthand for who you are on a turntable.

A Letterboxd
for music.
Goat Music is where you rate the records you actually listen to, build a board of the albums that define you, and find what’s next through people whose taste you trust. Your rating stays yours, community scores wait for a credible sample, and ranked or sponsored surfaces are labelled.
Letterboxd® is a trademark of its respective owners. Goat Music is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Letterboxd — the comparison just describes the format.
Three ways to play.
Side B · Ratings
Rate what actually hits.
Score albums out of 100. No half-stars. Your number stays distinct from the community average, and each discovery mode tells you what shaped the order you see.
Rate an album →Side C · Tier
Rank the shape of your ear.
Drag records into S, A, B, C, and D. The tier list is the fastest way to spell out the hierarchy of a year, a genre, or an artist’s catalog — and it’s built for sharing.

01
Sign in.
Choose an option currently shown on the sign-in page. Then search and rate immediately; no streaming-account link is required.
02
Rate + library.
Score albums out of 100 as you listen. Pin the ones that belong at the front of the crate to your library. Takes about thirty seconds per record.
03
Follow good ears.
Find friends and strangers whose taste lines up with yours. Their ratings seed your queue; your ratings seed theirs. No algorithm in between.
Who’s behind this.
Goat Music is built by one person, in public, because I got tired of aggregate scores and recommendation engines deciding what a record is worth. I wanted a place where the rating on an album is just what listeners actually said — no algorithm smoothing it out, no critic consensus standing in for your own ear.
That means bugs ship sometimes, features take longer than they should, and there’s no support team behind a ticket queue — just me, shipping what I can, as honestly as I can. If something’s broken, it’s not a company failing to prioritize you. It’s one person still building.

Questions.
What is Goat Music?
Goat Music is a music social and rating app — a Letterboxd-style site for albums. You rate the records you listen to, build a visual board of the ones that define you, share a tier list, and follow people whose taste you trust to find what to play next. (Goat Music isn’t affiliated with Letterboxd — the comparison just describes the format.)
Is Goat Music really like Letterboxd, but for music?
Yes — that’s the cleanest one-liner for the format, though Goat Music isn’t affiliated with Letterboxd. If Letterboxd is a place to log and rate films with a community that cares, Goat Music is the same idea for albums. Your own 100-point rating stays visible, qualifying community scores are shown separately, and discovery keeps people and transparent browse modes in view. The unit of attention is the album, not the track.
How do ratings work?
You rate albums on a 1-to-100 scale — no decimals, no fractional half-stars. The 100-point scale gives you room to distinguish a strong record from a near-classic without forcing fractional ratings. Your score sits on the record, shows up on your profile, and (if your profile is public) contributes to the feed your followers see.
What is the album board?
Your album board is a visual grid of the records that best define you — think of it as a pinboard or a crate at the front of the shelf. Pin the albums you want people to see first when they land on your profile.
Can I build a tier list of albums?
Yes — the tier list lets you drag albums into S / A / B / C / D tiers and share the shape of your ear. Use it for a year-end ranking, a genre retrospective, or a definitive artist deep-cut order.
Is Goat Music free?
Yes, Goat Music is free to use. Choose one of the options currently shown on the sign-in page, then start rating from search.
Do you connect to Spotify and Apple Music?
Spotify playback and catalog links remain available for eligible existing connections, but Spotify listening-history import and history-based personalization are paused while we complete provider-policy review. Spotify sign-in is not currently open to new public accounts. You can sign in with another available option and rate from search.
Is my profile private by default?
You control it. Every profile has a privacy toggle — keep your ratings and board private, or publish a public page at goatmusic.me/@yourname so friends can follow along.
