Terms of Service

Last updated: April 2026

The service

CrateDrop is a music discovery tool that surfaces random releases from the Discogs database and plays them via embedded YouTube videos. The service is provided as-is, free of charge. We reserve the right to change or discontinue features at any time.

Your account

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account. We are not liable for any loss or damage resulting from unauthorised access. You must not use the service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable laws.

Content and intellectual property

Music metadata is sourced from Discogs and is subject to their terms. Audio is played via YouTube embeds and subject to YouTube's terms of service. CrateDrop does not host, distribute, or claim ownership of any music content. We do not provide downloads.

Affiliate links

Some links in the sidebar are affiliate links. If you purchase a product through these links, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate recommendations are based on genre relevance and are not paid placements.

Advertising

The service is funded in part by Google AdSense advertising. Ads are served by Google and may be personalised based on your browsing history. You can opt out via Google Ad Settings.

Limitation of liability

CrateDrop is provided without warranty of any kind. We are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the service. Track availability on YouTube is outside our control.

Changes

We may update these terms at any time. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance of the new terms.
