Frequently Asked Questions
67 answers about Digital Music Albums and the Dreamster platform
About Dreamster
Dreamster is a global music ownership platform where fans purchase Digital Music Albums (DMAs) directly from verified artists and labels. It is not a streaming service — it is a music ownership platform.
No. Dreamster is not a streaming platform. You are not paying to rent access to music. You are buying ownership of a Digital Music Album (DMA).
A DMA is an official, blockchain-verified album or single release. When you purchase a DMA, you own a copy of that Digital Music Album.
You own digital music copies—not copyright or an investment. Listen offline, build playlists, access included artist perks, transfer copies for free, or sell them back under the platform’s terms. Access moves with each copy.
Dreamster Radio
Dreamster Radio is now live at https://app.dreamster.io/app/. Listen free to discover music. Dreamster Music, the DMA platform at https://music.dreamster.io, is where you own it.
No. Dreamster Radio offers free DMA discovery, podcasts, artist interviews, and shows. Buy and manage owned copies, playlists, transfers, perks, and sell-backs on Dreamster Music. Radio listening does not give you ownership.
No. Dreamster Radio is completely free, 24/7. If you hear a song you love, head to the DMA platform to own it.

No. Perks are set by artists and subject to availability. Dreamster does not guarantee any specific perk or financial return.
Selling Music Back
Yes. You can sell your DMA back to the platform.
Many record stores bought back vinyl and CDs in good condition. Digital copies do not wear out, and Dreamster offers structured sell-back directly to the platform — no buyer search or physical condition grading. Sell-back is calculated as 40% of the current bonding-curve market price, not your original purchase price or a full refund. The amount can rise or fall, and selling a copy ends its listening access and perks.
