Music
Supertape automatically syncs your albums, and provides you with music smart links to share with fans, to get them listening across all of your platforms.
How music syncing works
Finding albums on your platforms
After connecting a music platform, we’ll import all of your albums from it. After that, we’ll sync with it nightly
to add new albums and remove any you’ve deleted.
Adding albums to your website
When a new album is found on a platform, we’ll try to match it to an existing album on your site by UPC, name, and
release date. If we can’t, we’ll create a new album.
Setting details on your albums
Each platform provides different details about your album, so when a platform knows something about your album that
we don’t, we’ll apply it first-come-first-serve.
Reviewing your music
Sometimes the details we get from a platform may be a little off, or may be wrong entirely. So it’s always a good idea to review your albums to make sure everything looks good.- Image - The album’s cover artwork. Should be square and high resolution.
- Name - The album’s title. Keep it formatted exactly as it appears on platforms.
- URL slug - The unique part of the album’s URL. ex:
/music/your-album - Type - The type of album it is (Album, EP, Single, etc.).
- Tracks - The number of tracks on the album.
- Duration - The length of the album.
- Release date - The date the album was released.
- UPC - The Universal Product Code for the album. Important for matching.
- Info - The album’s description, credits, lyrics, or any other information you’d like to share.
- Products - The physical versions of the album from your Merch catalog.
- Platforms - The Platforms where fans can listen to the album.
If something we synced is wrong, it’s likely wrong on the platform as well. Be sure to fix both.
