How Tangle works
Tangle doesn’t replace your music platforms, it sits on top of them, helping you organize and connect what’s already there. At a high level, it works in three steps.
⚠️ QUESTION/NOTE
Could be a good idea to have a screenshot per step.
1. Connect your platforms
You start by connecting one or more music platforms.
This can include:
- DJ libraries
- Streaming platforms
- Purchase platforms
- Local files
Tangle does not upload or move your music. It reads what’s there and builds a structured view on top.

2. Build your library in Tangle
Once connected, Tangle creates a unified library.
- Tracks from different sources appear together
- You can tag, group, and organize them
- One track can belong to many contexts at once
Think of Tangle as a control layer for your collection, not a storage system.
3. Sync safely and intentionally
Tangle treats syncing as a decision, not an automatic side effect.
The sync model
When changes exist in more than one place:
- Tangle shows you the differences
- You choose which version to keep
(Tangle or the platform) - Nothing is overwritten without confirmation
Safety by design
- Sync operations are reversible
- Automatic backups are created
- You can roll back if something doesn’t look right
This lets you experiment and reorganize without risking your library.
