Reading mode

Default wears each scene as it was designed — dark house chrome, and every scene in its own skin. Light and dark override that into a single reading mode you prefer. Your choice is remembered on this device.

Connected sources

Crate reads what you own to argue from your shelves. Connect a source and the import runs here, in your browser — your library goes straight from the service to this device and nowhere else. Disconnect a source and its records stop counting, everywhere, live.

About & corrections

Crate is a reading of music history, not a database of facts. Every claim is an editorial argument with sources, and the corpus corrects itself in public — see the errata on the Review. Spot something wrong? The correction flow is coming; for now the errata list is the public record.

Crate keeps your reading mode, want list, crate and preferences in this browser only (localStorage). No account, no Crate server — connecting a source talks to that service directly from your browser. Back to Crate.
