How to Listen

YouTube Music — recommended

Go to music.youtube.com, click your profile picture and choose Upload music. FLAC and MP3 both work. Files stay private in your library and sync across Android, iOS and web.

Apple Music — Mac and iPhone

Open the Music app on Mac and go to File → Import, or drag the files directly into your library. FLAC requires macOS Ventura (13) or later. Enable iCloud Music Library in settings to sync to iPhone automatically.

Spotify — desktop local files

Go to Settings → Local Files and add the pack folder as a source. Playing on mobile requires both desktop and phone to be on the same Wi-Fi network. Use the MP3 — Spotify does not support FLAC.

Local — offline, no accounts

VLC plays everything on every platform, for free. foobar2000 is the choice for Windows and Android if you want more control. Navidrome gives you a self-hosted personal streaming server.

Creation and AI

Óbundinn is made by a human. AI is one of the tools used to make it.

Lyrics, concept, creative direction, production choices and curation are human-written and human-decided. Generative audio tools are used as part of the sound creation process — the same way a producer might use a synthesizer, a sampler or an effects chain. The human chooses what to say, what to keep, and what gets released.

Created by Óbundinn with human-written lyrics, direction, curation and production choices, using generative audio tools as part of the sound creation process.

This statement is included verbatim in every Relic Pack — in the README, in the audio file metadata and in the Relic Note PDF.
