Maybe you think it's a bit too late to change it but: I'm not sure about the name! Rats don't have a great connotation with most people. Even SoundMouse is a bit friendlier.
Bats are known for their hearing.

#32How would you deal with bad actors? Someone who just uploads the latest Adele album onto soundrat to enable it to be fully streamed for free?

#33Well done site, simple layout, stuff just works the way you want it to.
Except: I liked it enough to trying clicking on the icons 'For Fans' and 'For Artists' to see the details: nothing. These days, I'd be very unlikely to register for anything without having seen them first.

#34This is terrible branding. At first I thought it was called soundART, which would be a million times better. Hell, I'm pretty sure you could get away with switching those two letters and nobody would notice. Rebrand ASAP! How many artist are really going to want their own personal brand to be associated with the term rat?
Exactly, who trusts a rat?
Certainly nobody whose life is a 90s mafia movie!

Hey you can browse the platform without registering. The "discover artist" button takes you to https://soundrat.com/discover where you can listen to some of the highlighted artists. Or you can also click on any artist profile on the landing page.
You can do and see most features without an account. Hope this helps
