About us
Every book has a sound
BookTuning is a free AI book playlist generator that reads the mood, themes, and pace of a story, then builds the custom book playlist that belongs underneath it — typically in 15–30 seconds, for any book you can name.
Our mission
Music that reads with you, not over you
At BookTuning, we believe that the right book playlist can transform your reading experience. Our mission is to create an AI-powered book playlist generator that composes the perfect soundtrack for every story, enhancing the emotions, atmosphere, and journey that each book provides.
We analyze the genre, mood, and themes of books to curate personalized book playlists that complement your reading. Whether you're exploring the magical corridors of Hogwarts, navigating the dystopian world of Oceania, or dancing through the Jazz Age with Gatsby, our book playlist generator builds the perfect musical accompaniment.

A Reading Room for every playlist
Every playlist opens into the Reading Room: a free reading timer with ambience. Set a chapter-sized sprint, light the candle, and the book's soundtrack plays while you read and pauses for breaks, with soft rain, a crackling fire or a quiet library underneath it.
When you close the book, stamp your library card. It keeps your pages, minutes, reading pace and daily streak, on this device or in your account. Learn how the Reading Room works.
