What BRSTM Player does and does not do
| What it does | What it does not do |
|---|---|
| Plays the files you choose from your device or your Google Drive | Does not host or store audio files on its servers |
| Organizes your library using your folder and file names | Does not offer a music catalog or downloads |
| Saves your playlists, favorites, history and preferences | Does not let you share files with others or make libraries public |
| Links to official tools and documentation about the format | Does not link to music downloads |
How it works, technically
When you pick a folder on your computer, your browser reads the files on your own device; when you connect Google Drive, it downloads them straight from your Drive with a permission that only grants access to the folder you select. In neither case does the audio go through our servers.
Our database only holds text: the names of your albums and tracks, your playlists, favorites, history and settings. Every library is private and only its owner can see it. So there is no copy of your music in BRSTM Player that could reach anyone else.
Which files you can use
You decide what you play and you are responsible for it. Please only use files you have the right to listen to, for example:
- Your own creations: your compositions, covers or arrangements converted to BRSTM (see how to make a BRSTM).
- Licensed music that allows this use, such as some works released under Creative Commons licenses.
- Copies you own, for personal use, where the law of your country allows it. Private copy rules vary from country to country: check the ones that apply to you.
What you must never do is distribute protected music without permission: upload it to public sites, share it or sell it. And do not use BRSTM Player for anything that infringes its authors' rights; if you do, we may close your account, as stated in the terms of use.
Support the people who make the music
Many video game soundtracks are officially released on music stores and streaming services, on vinyl or CD, and their composers perform concerts around the world. If a theme keeps you company for hours, the best way to say thanks is to support its authors by buying or streaming the official releases.
Third-party trademarks and images
Nintendo, Wii, GameCube and game titles are trademarks of their respective owners. We mention them only to describe the format or as examples, without implying any relationship: BRSTM Player is an independent project and is not affiliated with, sponsored or endorsed by Nintendo or any publisher.
The covers, screenshots and game data you see in the player's info panel come from IGDB.com, are shown under its API terms and belong to their owners. The player screenshots on this website use made-up covers generated for the occasion.
Our linking policy
In our guides and tools we only link to official software websites, technical documentation and community help pages. We do not link to music or game downloads. If you find a link that does not meet this standard, let us know and we will remove it.
How to report a possible infringement
If you believe something published on this site (a text, an image, a logo or any other content) infringes your rights, write to support@brstmplayer.com including:
- your name and contact details and, if you act on behalf of another person or company, in what capacity;
- the work or right you believe is being infringed;
- exactly where it appears (the page address);
- a statement that the information is accurate and that you are acting in good faith.
We will review every notice promptly and, where appropriate, remove the content or block access to it. Remember that users' audio files are not on our servers but on their own devices or Google Drive accounts; even so, if we detect that an account is being used to infringe rights, we may suspend it.
