Hi,
This one is a big update. Our biggest so far.
HUMS 2.3.0 is about growth, update now.
Not just features, but the idea that being active on HUMS should actually mean something, give you something back.
A reason to keep showing up, keep sharing, keep digging.
Here’s everything that’s new:
HUMS 2.3.0 What's new
1. Tune Guru
We introduced a new status: Tune Guru.
If you’ve received more than 100 crowns from the community, you can now apply to become one.
The process is simple: you submit a Journey for the HUMS team to review. Once it’s published, you’re a Tune Guru.
On the map, you’ll appear with a different pin. More visible. More distinct.
It’s a way for the community to recognize the people who actually show up.

2. Journeys
A Journey is an editorial piece created by a user. It lives on the map as a listening patch, a place you can tap into and explore.
A Journey can go deep into a genre, trace the sound of a city, follow an artist’s arc, or document a scene. It’s curated, personal, and rooted in real taste.
Only Tune Gurus can publish Journeys. That’s intentional.
I published the first “Journey” myself. You’ll find it in Milan, built around some specific soundtracks. Hope you enjoy it.
3. A new profile
You now have the complete history of your daily tunes, all in one place, plus a running total of crowns received from the community.
Your profile is becoming a real record of your musical life on HUMS.
4. Captions on daily tunes
Every time you set a daily tune, you can now add a short caption. Why this song. What it means right now. What it connects to.
Small detail, but the context is everything.
5. The map is cleaner
From now on, only active users with daily tunes appear on the map. If you’re contributing, you’re visible.
This keeps the map alive and worth exploring.
6. More sub-genres and Journeys in the filter
We added more sub-genres to the filter. And Journeys can now be filtered by genre and sub-genre too, so you can find editorial content that matches exactly what you’re in the mood for.
7. Qobuz
Qobuz is now available as a streaming platform on HUMS.
How to make the most of 2.3.0
The map rewards presence.
Here’s how to build yours:
– Set your daily tune. Every day if you can.
– Add a caption to give it context. Tell people why.
– Fill out your profile. A photo, a bio, your history.
– Earn crowns by contributing genuinely. Respond to tune requests. Share music that matters to you. Be the person someone remembers discovering something through.
– If you hit 100 crowns, think about your Journey. What would you want to map? What’s a corner of music you know better than most?
Community is everything at HUMS.
