What Highnote is
Highnote provides private spaces for artists and communities to share and discuss music. Artists, engineers, labels, producers and songwriters can give track feedback through timestamped comments, voice comments, replies and audio polls. It supports MP3, WAV, AIF and MP4 files, with folders and nested track versions for comparison. Collaborators and share links can have downloads, uploads and timestamped comments enabled or disabled, and links can be password protected. Highnote links with Dropbox and lets users attach Google Docs, reference playlists and other external content to projects. The service says music remains private unless shared. Browser playback is described as lossless and gapless on all plans. Web, Android and iOS are listed platforms. Starter costs nothing and includes 15 total tracks, 50GB cloud storage and unlimited shared spaces. Indie costs $4.99 a month for 500 tracks and 1TB storage; Studio costs $19.99 a month for unlimited tracks and 5TB. The download page lists mobile apps and directs support requests to [email protected].
