Music

The Music section of your store is where your releases live. You can drop a single, build a full album with the tracks in your chosen running order, sell the same release in several formats, set a release date weeks in advance, and decide whether fans pay a set price or whatever they want.

Everything in this section lives under Store then Music in your dashboard.

Singles and albums

When you click Add Music, you choose one of two formats:

• Single for one track. Simpler form, no UPC, no track-level credits, no running order.
• Album for two or more tracks, each with its own title, artist, credits, ISRC code, and explicit flag. You drag tracks into the order you want them heard, and pick one to feature.

If you start as a single and want an album later, edit the release and add another track.

How to upload music

1. Go to Store then Music.
2. Click Add Music in the top right and choose Create Album or Create Single.
3. Fill in the release details, formats, and tracks, all covered below.
4. Click Create Album or Create Single at the bottom.

Uploads run in the background. You will see a progress bar counting how many files have gone up out of the total.

Release details

Title

The album or single name. Five characters minimum, 100 maximum.

Artist

Defaults to your profile name, but you can override it. Useful if you release under several project names or are publishing a collaboration.

Description

A short blurb about the release. This is where to share the story: what inspired it, who you wrote it with, what fans should listen for. Five to 1,000 characters.

Tags

Optional keywords for your own organising. Type a tag, click Add, and it appears as a chip below. Click the X on a chip to remove it.

Cover image

Your album or single artwork, as a JPG or PNG. This shows up everywhere: your store, smart links, the audio player on your website, and on every track in the album.

Price

What fans pay for the release. Set it to 0 to make it free. Tick Pay what you want to make this a minimum and let fans pay more.

Release date

The date the release becomes available. Leave it blank to publish now, or pick a future date to schedule the drop.

UPC code (albums only)

If you have a UPC for the album from a distributor or your own catalog, enter it here. Optional.

Credits

A free-text field for the people behind the release: producer, mixing engineer, featured artists, songwriters, label. Shows up on the release page.

Formats

A release used to be one thing only, which meant a vinyl edition had to be a separate product with its own reviews and its own stats. Not any more.

The Formats section lets you sell one release in more than one form (digital, vinyl, cassette, FLAC), each with its own price, stock, and way of reaching the buyer. Leave it empty for a single digital release.

Formats work exactly like versions on any other product, including the generator that creates every combination at once. The full walkthrough is in product versions, and the two things worth knowing here are:

• A vinyl format can tick Buyers of this version also get the downloadable files, which is how a record carries a download code.
• Once you have more than one format, each track can hand over a different file per format: the WAV instead of the MP3. See below.

Tracks

Adding tracks

For singles you start with one track ready to fill in. For albums, click Add Track under the tracks section to keep adding more.

Each track is a row you can expand. Collapsed, the row shows its number, its title, a featured badge if you marked it, and its status on the right: the track length once the audio is in, or a red Needs audio flag if it is not. That last part is the whole point of the collapsed view. A list of identical rows hides the half-finished one.

Inside a track

• Audio file, uploaded as WAV or FLAC. Upload the master you want buyers to receive.
• Track title (albums only), what fans see in the tracklist.
• Artist (albums only), defaults to your profile name, override it for features.
• Track credits (albums only), for when specific people worked on specific songs.
• ISRC code, your International Standard Recording Code if you have one. Optional.
• Has explicit content, tick to flag the track with an "E" badge so fans know what they are playing.

Preview clip

Optional, and worth doing. Set a start and an end in seconds and public listeners hear only that clip until they own the track. The form shows the track's length so you can pick a sensible window, and a badge tells you when the clip is being generated, when it is ready, and if it failed.

Leave both boxes empty and there is no preview clip.

Track ordering

For albums, each track row has a grab handle on the left. Take hold of it and drag the row up or down to set your running order. The number updates as you drag, and the row lifts while you move it so you can see where it is going.

This is the order fans hear the album in your audio player.

Featured track (albums only)

You can mark one track as featured. It plays first on your release page and is highlighted in the tracklist. Feature a different track and the old one is unfeatured for you.

A different file per format

Once a release has more than one format, a block appears under each track for the other encodings of that same song: the WAV beside the MP3.

Each format that hands over files gets a row. Fill one in and buyers of that format get that file instead of the track's main one. Leave a row empty and it gets the main file. A format that hands nothing over shows a note instead of an upload box, telling you which tick box turns delivery on.

This is how one album is sold as MP3 and FLAC without listing every song twice. The title, ISRC, credits, and preview clip belong to the song, not the encoding.

Scheduling releases

Set the release date to any future day before saving. The release stays hidden from your store until that date, then becomes available on its own.

Switch your Music list to show Future releases using the filter to double-check what is queued up for the next few weeks.

Editing a release

1. Go to Store then Music.
2. Find the release, open the menu (the three dots on the right), and click Edit Album or Edit Single.
3. Update whatever you need: swap the cover, change the price, reorder tracks, add tracks, add a format, update credits.
4. Click Update Album or Update Single at the bottom.

Changes go live immediately. Past purchases are not affected.

Filtering and finding releases

The Music list has a search box and a filter dialog. You can:

• Search by title to jump to a specific release.
• Filter by status, active or archived.
• Filter by release status, released or future release.
• Filter by release type, all, albums only, or singles only.

Active filters show up as chips below the search box. Click Clear all to reset.

Archiving a release

Archive a release to remove it from your store without losing the upload, the tracks, or the order history.

1. Open the release menu and click Archive Album or Archive Single.
2. Confirm.

To bring it back, switch the status filter to Archived Music, open the menu on the archived release, and click Unarchive.

How fans buy and listen

Fans preview each track on your release page using the built-in player, hearing your preview clip if you set one, then pick a format and add the release to their cart. After paying they get a confirmation email and can stream or download their purchase from their fan account.

If they bought a pay-what-you-want release, the amount they paid is theirs, and yours.
