Listening stays on the platforms

Album masters are not currently hosted on this publications surface. That is a present custody fact, not a permanent architecture. The target is OYOTTA Listen — first-party playback is not implemented yet. Apple Music and Spotify remain optional downstream choices.

This page is a transitional architecture state. Full tracks are not copied onto the publications disk today. The owned path, until first-party playback exists, is:

1. Optionally watch a hosted film on the Watch & listen hub.
2. Open one album catalog record if you want titles, durations, and the cover file.
3. Open the OYOTTA Stream listen rail or an owned album catalog record, then optionally listen on Apple Music — OYOTTA or Spotify — OYOTTA.
4. Return to the same album URL for the owned record. Apple AAC previews, where linked, remain hosted by Apple.

This is a custody fact, not a review. It is also why a film page and an album page stay separate: motion on this host does not stand in for audio that lives on the artist destinations.

Book samples remain a different stream: Unstoppable and The Black Scroll of the Hidden One are free to read here without a storefront.
