Rythm<\/strong> started in 2016 as a side project by friends who shared a passion for music<\/strong> and video games<\/strong>. What began as a small idea quickly grew into a global community of over 30 million music fans<\/strong>. However, Rythm was forced to shut down on September 15, 2021, due to a notice from YouTube. Despite this setback, the team, supported by its users, spent two years rebuilding. In 2024, Rythm has made a successful return with enhanced features and improved partnerships<\/strong> with top music companies<\/strong>, ensuring that artists are compensated for every stream<\/strong> while delivering the beloved music experience to users.<\/p><\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n \t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n \n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t
