Retaz: Human Music Curation

Retaz brings the world to you, in your language, without flattening it. Comments and messages translated from 200+ languages.

Every playlist on Retaz is made by a person, not a machine. Real people around the world build the playlists, write why each one matters, and champion the music they love. No AI decides what you hear. People do.

FREE ON EVERY ACCOUNT

Create and share playlists. Build one on your phone from the songs you love, write the note that says why it matters, and share it anywhere.

Browse playlists by name. Every playlist carries a curator's note in their own words, so you know who made it and why. Follow the curators whose taste you trust, and read the comments on the playlists you browse, in the language each person wrote them in.

Listen with the services you already use. Every track offers a short preview right in the app, and one tap opens the full song in your own music service. Retaz streams no audio itself.

Discover more, matched to what you save and play. Retaz surfaces curators and playlists close to the music you already reach for. Whatever it surfaces was still made by a person.

Hear the whole world. Retaz speaks your language from the very first screen, in 200+ languages.

WITH MEMBERSHIP

Membership is your seat at the curation table. It is a yearly subscription, on sale from October 15, 2026, billed by Google Play in your own currency. The La Chispa founding price covers your first year. After that it renews each year at the standard yearly price, shown in the app before you subscribe, unless you cancel before the renewal date. You can manage or cancel it any time in your Google Play subscriptions. Look under Settings, Membership.

Vote with a heart. One heart per playlist, every heart equal weight, and you can heart as many playlists as you love. The playlists a real community loves rise to the top. A membership buys no extra weight, and there is no way to buy a second heart. You have a day to change your mind (or until La Chispa closes, whichever comes first), and after that a heart is final, so a leaderboard means something.

Talk with curators. Leave a comment, and message other members directly. If you do not follow each other yet, your first message arrives as a request they can accept or decline. Messages are a members feature on both sides.

Start or join a community. Post a song with a short note, and heart the posts you love.

Read it all in your language. Comments and messages reach you in your language, from any of the 200+ languages. The world arrives intact.

LA CHISPA

La Chispa is the founding playlist recognition event, in 136 countries and regions. It runs from October 17, 2026 to the end of November 16, 2026 (US Eastern), and the Global Champion is announced December 1, 2026. Members who earn the Curator badge enter with public playlists created inside the window, and members cast the hearts. La Chispa is sponsored and run by Retaz LLC, a West Virginia company in Lewisburg, West Virginia. Google is not a sponsor of La Chispa and is not involved in it in any manner. The official rules are in the app and at retaz.fm/legal/la-chispa-rules, and they govern in every case.

BUILT FOR TRUST AND SAFETY

Retaz is an 18+ community. Report playlists, profiles, comments, and messages in a tap, block anyone, and count on human review. Create your account with Google. Delete it, and export your data, whenever you want, right from the app.

A NOTE ON HOW IT WORKS

AI keeps Retaz honest and speaks your language. It never picks your music, and never writes a playlist.

Playlists are created on your phone, which is how we can promise that machine-made playlists cannot be created here.

Welcome to Retaz. Come hear what people are championing.
