Keep the compass turning.
Every calibration of a song here costs real money. Each charge calls a paid API engine, plus the hosting and other services that hold it all together. This is grassroots, managed and perpetually developed by one person. No venture capital, no investors, no labels, no ads.
If The Rising Compass has shifted how you hear music, throw a few bucks toward keeping it alive and free.
