Music releases

One link for your new release: pre-save before, Listen after.

Before release day the card counts down and leads with your pre-saves. On the day it turns into one Listen button that opens each listener’s own app, by itself.

Free on every Portage page, with every other feature. Nothing to upgrade to.

The card changes on the day, so you don’t have to.

  • Before the day

    The cover, the title, a countdown and your pre-save and pre-order links, up to four.

  • On the day

    The pre-saves go and one Listen button opens the listener’s own app. Every other service is a tap away under it.

  • Only your links

    Every address is one you paste. Nothing is looked up and no streaming service’s script runs on your page.

The same card, before and after.

Two release cards drawn by the same code that draws your page: one still counting down, one already out. Both are made up for these examples.

Set it up when you announce.

Start a musician’s page

  1. Add a Release row.

    Upload the cover, type the title, and say whether it’s a single, an EP, an album or a mixtape.

  2. Paste your links.

    Your pre-save from your distributor, and where it will be to listen. Set the release day.

  3. Share one link the whole way.

    The same link works in the announcement, on release day and after. The card takes care of the change.

What the release card doesn’t do.

  • It doesn’t make a pre-save. Your distributor gives you that link, and the card shows it.
  • It doesn’t look your music up. Paste each service’s link yourself, your favourite first.
  • Streams and saves are counted by the services. Your Portage numbers count taps on the card.

Questions musicians ask about release links.

Which app does the Listen button open?
The listener’s own: the service they picked last time on any Portage page, kept in their own browser, then the one their phone is likely to have, then your first link.
What happens on release day?
The pre-save links disappear and the Listen button takes their place, worked out from the day you set. You don’t need to edit anything.
Can I play a track on the page too?
Yes. Add a player row beside the card. It loads nothing until someone presses play.
Is the release card free?
Yes, free on every page, like every feature on Portage.

One link from announcement to album.

Pick a handle and your page starts with what a musician needs, ready for your release card.
