Muse Hub is now back online, and authorization should be working again on Windows.

Muse Hub will attempt to update itself automatically. If it doesn’t succeed, you may be prompted to trigger the update manually. Updating to the latest version is required to restore MuseSounds functionality.

Updates for macOS and Linux are still pending deployment — we’ll share another update here as soon as they’re available.

Thanks again for your patience,
