Mayonnoise, formerly known as Listen, is a music and podcast streaming service owned by PI Music.
History[]
The service was officially announced on May 18, 2020, under the title of "Listen". Teasers and advertisements began appearing on May 23, and the service went into public beta on the 24th. Despite an embargo, further details began to leak online, including the UI and integration with other services. PI slowly began to take these leaks down. It was announced that the service would leave beta and officially release to the public on June 26, 2020, thus lifting the embargo.
On February 10, 2021, Listen rebranded to Mayonnoise.
