Sonemic

Sonemic is the name of an update to Rate Your Music which is currently under development. It's an upgrade to RYM which greatly improves and modernizes the existing features of RYM. The Sonemic charts, genre pages, message boards, and new music page are already part of RYM today.

Glitchwave, our video game site, is currently in Beta 4, accessible to all users at glitchwave.com

We have recently announced a new development strategy: We are bringing all of the already-developed Sonemic and Cinemos features into RYM, one at a time, and have opened Glitchwave to everyone.

You can read more on the Development status page.
