How to create a music smart link, step by step

Build your first release page, add your streaming services and share your fan link in a few minutes.

  1. 1

    Gather what you need

    • Square cover artwork (JPG or PNG).
    • Your song or album title and artist name.
    • Your listening links from Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music and any other service.

    Tip: Don’t have every link yet? Start with what you have — you can add more anytime.

  2. 2

    Start a new smart link

    • Go to Dashboard → Smart Links and click Create a page.
    • Choose a regular release, or a pre-release campaign with a countdown (Pro or Lifetime).
  3. 3

    Add your release details

    • Upload your artwork and type the title and artist name.
    • Paste each listening link into its matching service field.

    Watch out: Open each link once yourself so fans never land on the wrong song.

  4. 4

    Add socials and fan capture

    • Add the socials you want shown under your listen buttons.
    • Saved socials in Settings fill in automatically (Pro or Lifetime) — remove any you don’t want on this link.
    • Turn on fan email capture to collect fans’ emails (Pro or Lifetime).
  5. 5

    Pick your look and save

    • Leave the background on Automatic to match your artwork colors, or pick White or Black.
    • Check the live preview, then save.
  6. 6

    Share the right link

    • Copy your fan link and put it in your bio, posts and ads.
    • Keep your private owner link (ending in ?owner=1) to yourself — it’s for viewing your live Insights.

    Watch out: Never post the owner link. It’s only for you.

  7. 7

    Test it on your phone

    • Open your fan link on your phone like a fan would.
    • Tap every service button to confirm it opens the right release.

    Tip: Need changes later? Edit the same smart link — your shared address stays the same.
