A few artists have asked about our pre-release feature, so here’s the low down.

When you set up a track, you can set it to Active, Inactive or Pre-release. When you select Pre-release, you must select a time and a date on which the Pre-release period ends.

Active:

This means that the track is available for sale and download immediately

Inactive:

This means that the track is not available for sale or download and will not appear in search results

Pre-release:

This means that the track is available for sale immediately but will not be available for download until the time and date when the Pre-release period ends

When a user buys a pre-release track, they receive an email telling them that their sales has been recorded and the time and date on which is will become available for download. At that time, they will receive a second txt reminding them of their purchase and telling them that the track is now available for download.

Pre-release is a good feature to build up publicity re. your track and to concentracte all your downloads in a single week, which can help with Chart position.

The revenue you receive for a Pre-release sale is exactly the same as for a normal sale, but we do charge £0.05 per reminder sent out, which is deducted from your revenue when we come to pay you.
