Spine brings it back to the wall. ### Why it exists Streaming gave us access to everything but made our music collections invisible. The albums are still there — saved, followed, loved — but buried inside an app. No shelves to browse. No covers on the wall. No ritual. Spine is a wall-mounted album art display that brings your collection back. It connects to your streaming library and renders your albums as browsable CD spines — the covers you know by heart, always visible, always yours. Not a photo frame. Not a screensaver. A permanent home for the music you actually listen to. ### How it works Build your collection from Apple Music, Tidal or Spotify. Arrange it however you want — by artist, by genre, alphabetically, or however it looks best in the room. If you're on Apple Music or Tidal, Spine syncs your library automatically. If you're on Spotify, import it once (via TuneMyMusic), then curate it however you want from Spine's companion app — it's half the fun. Swipe to browse. Tap to explore the cover art. A bar-format display that sits on your wall the way a shelf would. ### Materials and design An aluminium body formed from a single sheet, anodised dark. Matte etched glass that feels closer to paper than a screen. A border that disappears into the display. Every material chosen so Spine feels like furniture, not a gadget. Designed in London, UK. ### Pre-orders Pre orders coming soon on Kickstarter.

CDs at home, records at my parents' place. Scanning spines, pulling something out, studying the cover while the first track played. Making my own compilations — carefully chosen tracklists, hand-written labels, cases lined up in exactly the right order. There was something about curating a shelf. Deciding what went next to what. Rearranging things until they felt right. And when friends came over, they'd always end up standing in front of it. You'd spot something you'd never heard of, pull it out, ask about it. That's how you discovered music — browsing someone else's collection. Streaming changed that. I love what it gave us — access to everything, anywhere, instantly. I'm not going back. But something disappeared along the way. The covers vanished into apps. The shelves went empty. The collection became invisible. > I started Spine because I wanted both: all the access streaming provides, with the physical presence it took away. Not a vinyl revival. Not a digital photo frame. Something new — a permanent display for the music you actually listen to, connected to the library you've already built. — Ricardo Amorim, Spine founder. ### The product Spine is a wall-mounted album art display. A bar-format screen behind glass — not a TV, not a monitor, a completely different shape designed to sit on your wall the way a shelf would. Build your collection from Apple Music, Tidal or Spotify. Arrange it however you want. If you're on Apple Music or Tidal, Spine syncs your library automatically. If you're on Spotify, import it once (via TuneMyMusic), then curate it however you want from Spine's companion app. Swipe to browse. Tap to explore. Matte etched glass that feels closer to paper than a screen. An aluminium body formed from a single sheet, anodised dark. The kind of restraint that makes it feel like a design object, not a gadget. ### Background Before Spine, Ricardo Amorim spent 20 years building products and brands — starting in advertising in São Paulo, then at R/GA London, AllofUs (where he was Partner), and BCG. He's shipped digital products his entire career. Spine is the first one that's his. More on Ricardo: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ricamorim/ --- ## FAQ (spinemusic.com/faq) ### What is Spine? Spine is a wall-mounted album art display that makes your digital music collection visible. It connects to your streaming library and renders your albums as browsable CD spines — the covers you know by heart, always on your wall. Not a screen saver, not a photo frame. A permanent home for your music. ### How does Spine work? If you're on Apple Music or Tidal, Spine syncs your library automatically — connect once and your albums appear on the shelf. If you're on Spotify, you import your library in a single step (we use TuneMyMusic to bring it across), then curate it from Spine's companion app. Add, remove, and arrange albums however you like; the shelf updates instantly. ### Does Spine work with Spotify? Yes. Spotify doesn't allow third-party hardware to connect to its library directly, so Spine uses TuneMyMusic to import your saved albums and playlists in a single step. From there, your collection lives in Spine's companion app — add, remove, and arrange albums however you like, and your shelf updates instantly. ### Does Spine work with Apple Music? Yes. Spine connects directly to Apple Music and pulls your full library automatically. ### Does Spine work with Tidal? Yes. Spine connects directly to Tidal and displays your full library. Tidal's high-resolution album art looks particularly good on the display. ### Can I display vinyl, CDs, or other physical music on Spine? Not at launch. Today Spine works with your streaming library. Personal libraries, local files, Roon and Plex are things a lot of people have asked about and we're actively investigating them, but none is confirmed for launch. Join the founders list and we'll say if and when it lands. ### Is Spine a digital photo frame? No. Digital photo frames cycle through random images on a timer. Spine is something different — it's a dedicated music display connected to your actual library. Your collection stays on the wall permanently, and you browse it by swiping through album spines. It's closer to a bookshelf than a photo frame. ### What does Spine look like? Spine is a bar-format display — long, narrow, and wall-mounted, shaped like a shelf rather than a screen. An aluminium body formed from a single sheet, anodised dark, and matte etched anti-glare glass that feels closer to paper than a screen. It's designed to feel like furniture, not a gadget. ### How big is Spine? The display is 76cm wide and 19cm tall, roughly the width of a vinyl shelf, but slim enough to sit neatly on any wall. It's a unique bar format, nothing like a TV or a monitor. ### How does Spine mount on the wall? Spine is wall-mounted with a simple bracket system, similar to mounting a floating shelf. ### How much does Spine cost and when can I buy it? Spine is £849 on Kickstarter, and £949 once the campaign closes. The campaign launches in autumn 2026. Reserving before launch with a refundable £25 deposit makes you a founding member, which gives exclusive access to a limited £799 tier with guaranteed delivery in the first batch. Places go first come first served on launch day, so founding members are told the moment the campaign opens. The £25 is refundable until the Kickstarter campaign launches, and sent back when you buy Spine. And you can spread the cost over three interest-free monthly payments. ### Can I pay in instalments? Yes. Kickstarter lets you split the cost into three monthly payments, interest free and with no fees. You choose it when you back the campaign. ### Where is Spine designed? Spine is designed in London, UK by Spine Music Ltd. --- ## Key facts at a glance - Product: wall-mounted album art display, bar-format - Dimensions: 76cm wide × 19cm tall - Mounting: wall-mounted with a simple bracket system - Streaming: Apple Music and Tidal (automatic sync); Spotify (one-time import via TuneMyMusic, managed in the companion app) - Not integrated at launch: Deezer, Qobuz, Amazon Music, YouTube Music - Materials: aluminium body formed from a single sheet, anodised dark, matte etched anti-glare glass - Price: £849 on Kickstarter, £949 once the campaign closes; founding members get exclusive access to a limited £799 tier, first come first served, with guaranteed first-batch delivery - Payment: Kickstarter instalments split the cost into three interest-free monthly payments, no fees - Launch: Kickstarter, autumn 2026 - Designed in: London, UK - Founder: Ricardo Amorim (ex-R/GA, AllofUs Partner, BCG) ## Company - Legal name: Spine Music Ltd - Registration: England & Wales, company number 17129395 - Registered office: 71-75 Shelton Street, London, WC2H 9JQ, UK - Website: https://spinemusic.com - Email: hello@spinemusic.com - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/spinemusicuk - Founder LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ricamorim/
