MUZAK — Music News, Reviews & Database WordPress Theme

The Ultimate Music Database Theme with Discogs + Genius Integration

Create the most complete music database website on WordPress with live Discogs metadata imports and automatic song lyrics from Genius. MUZAK is the only theme that lets you build a true music encyclopedia—artists, albums, discographies, tracks, lyrics, audio players, reviews, ratings, news… all in one powerful solution.

If you’ve been searching for a theme that does what IMDb does for movies—but for the music world—this is it.

What Is MUZAK?

MUZAK is a modern, powerful and fully featured WordPress theme designed for music bloggers, reviewers, curators, magazines, record collectors, and database-driven music websites.

Whether you want to build a music news portal, a full discography index, or a lyrics + database hybrid site, MUZAK gives you the tools to create a professional and highly dynamic platform with zero coding.


Discogs API Integration — Your Music Database, Supercharged

Import professional-grade music metadata from the world’s biggest music catalog.

With the Discogs Unofficial API integration, you can instantly pull:

  • Artist photos
  • Album covers
  • Tracklists
  • Band members
  • External links
  • Release details and metadata

Build enormous data-driven sites in a fraction of the time.


NEW: Songs Post Type + Genius Lyrics API

MUZAK now includes a dedicated Songs post type for building a full music lyrics archive.

Automatically import song details and lyrics directly from Genius:

  • Full lyrics embed
  • Song metadata like Writers, Recorded Place, Release Date and Copyright

Also Includes:

  • “All Songs” page template
  • Songs tab inside every Album
  • Home Songs Slider module

Perfect for lyrics sites, music magazines, artist encyclopedias, and fan communities.


Built-In Audio Player Integration (Sonaar Player)

Add playable tracks to every album with a beautiful and responsive player.

Upload MP3 files or integrate streaming previews—everything looks clean, modern and app-like.


Modern Design + Dark Mode

MUZAK is built on Bootstrap with an elegant interface, mobile-optimized layouts, smooth transitions and an optional Dark Mode for perfect readability.

Ideal for users who browse music sites at night.


Features That Make MUZAK Unique

  • Discogs Metadata Import (artists, albums, tracklists, band members)
  • Genius Lyrics Import (get song lyrics + metadata)
  • Songs Post Type with lyrics archive
  • AJAX Live Search (super fast, mobile-ready)

Who Is MUZAK For?

Perfect for:

  • Music News Websites
  • Review & Rating Portals
  • Lyrics Databases
  • Discography Archives
  • Online Magazines
  • Artist/Album Encyclopedias
  • Record Collector Sites
  • Fan Sites and Music Communities

If your site revolves around music metadata, lyrics, albums, artists, or reviews, MUZAK gives you every tool you need.


Why MUZAK Stands Out

Most WordPress themes focus on visuals.

MUZAK focuses on music data, and that makes it one-of-a-kind.

Between Discogs metadata imports, Genius lyrics integration, custom Songs post type, dynamic album pages, artist profiles, audio players, live search and ready-made modules—this theme replaces multiple plugins, saving money and time while giving your site a professional, database-driven structure.

This is not “just a theme.”

It’s a complete music database platform.

Get MUZAK and build the music website you've always wanted.
