Recent music foundation models have achieved remarkable progress in music representation learning, yet most existing approaches rely on Transformer architectures whose quadratic attention complexity introduces substantial computational and memory overhead when modeling long-duration music recordings. In this work, we propose MusicRWKV, a multimodal music representation learning framework built upon the RWKV architecture. MusicRWKV jointly models waveform, spectrogram, and metadata information within a unified self-supervised learning framework. To improve efficiency for long musical sequences, we introduce an invertible compression module that reduces sequence length while preserving reconstruction capability. A FiLM-based conditioning strategy is employed to facilitate modality-aware representation learning without introducing expensive cross-attention operations. We further investigate the integration of Soft ROSA as a differentiable retrieval mechanism for neural-symbolic interaction. Experimental evaluation across a diverse collection of Music Information Retrieval (MIR) benchmarks demonstrates that the proposed RWKV-based architecture can be effectively adapted to heterogeneous music understanding tasks. A controlled pretraining ablation shows that Soft ROSA improves validation performance, while layer-wise telemetry analysis reveals a progressive transition from distributed retrieval to selective retrieval in deeper network layers. These results suggest that RWKV provides a promising architectural alternative to Transformer-based models for multimodal music understanding.
