About Us

Kompoz.com is the newest online resource for musicians seeking to collaborate with other remote (online) musicians on projects. It's a revolutionary platform that makes music collaboration easy, effective, and engaging.

Unlike other collaboration sites which are based entirely on shrink-wrapped discussion forums software, kompoz is custom-designed from the ground-up for music collaboration. As such, kompoz.com provides professional project management features, such as:

  • Individual project workspaces for each collaboration
  • Each project has its own discussion forums (multiple topics/threads).
  • Upload tracks directly to each project (hosted by us) without using FTP.
  • Uploaded files are automatically encoded for fast streaming playback. The original format is preserved for downloads.
  • Uploaded files are organized into tracks and versioned.
  • Support for MP3, WAV, and WMA formats.
  • Download a single file, an entire track, or an entire project with one click.
  • Search for projects by genre, artist, tags/keywords, license type, and more.
  • Choose from multiple licensing options when creating your projects.
  • and more!
