Battle. Vote. Play.
Vibe Village turns music into a game with AI Curated Battles, SharePlay, voting, trivia, chat, and the Battle Feed. Challenge friends, bring the family together, and make every song something everyone can join.





Music should be more than background noise. Vibe Village gives every person in the group something to do—compete, vote, react, answer trivia, discover songs, and talk about what is happening while the music plays.
AI-Curated Battles
AI Curated selects songs for the artists that you choose. Choose your battle setup and artists, and Vibe Village handles the song selections for the battle.

What happens when it becomes easier to bring more people into the music?
Vibe Village 2.0 is available now with an entirely new Listening Session experience, Room Audio, more ways to get started for free, and flexible participation whether people are together or joining from somewhere else.
Listening Sessions are now available in Vibe Village 2.0. Choose the music. Bring people together. Listen, react, and enjoy the moment as a group. No matchup required. Sometimes the music is enough.
Selected Music Battle and Listening Session experiences can be started and enjoyed without an additional in-app purchase. Some enhanced features, including AI powered experiences, may require an in-app purchase or eligible subscription.
One device can provide the music for people sharing the same room, so those participants do not each need their own Apple Music subscription. Remote participants can join the same Listening Session from elsewhere, creating an in person, remote, or hybrid experience.
Version 2.0 continues improving Music Battles with more ways to start, participate, vote, play trivia, and experience the competition together. Listening Sessions introduce a different way to gather around music. Music Battles remain the place to settle the argument.
Together in the room. Together from anywhere. Or both.
