Watch this 58-second walkthrough of the submission page, inbox, and review tools.
Set up your submission page
- Open Submissions > Submission Settings and turn on Enable Submissions.
- Add clear instructions, choose preferred genres, set the maximum number of tracks, and choose whether to receive a new-submission email.
- Choose whether to appear in the public directory and, when available for your account, configure optional paid submissions.
- Select Save Changes, then copy your submission link or website embed code.
Review incoming music
Open Submissions > Music submissions. Use Find a submission and the Inbox, Reviewed, Favorited, Archived, or All filters to find what needs attention. Select Review & reply to open a submission.
Listen and organize decisions
Play the available DropTrack, Spotify, or SoundCloud audio. Download controls appear only when a download is available. Use Favorite, Archive, and Restore to keep decisions organized.
For audio hosted by DropTrack, your listening position can be saved after at least five seconds when you stop more than ten seconds before the end. The same-browser position can remain available for 30 days, and supported signed-in accounts can continue on another device. Spotify and SoundCloud do not use DropTrack’s resume control.
Comment and reply
Use Comments for the artist to leave feedback. Hosted-audio comments can use the current DropTrack playback time; Spotify and SoundCloud comments are not linked to the external player’s current position.
Use Reply to artist to open the conversation. Use positive reply and Use pass reply insert a saved reply for you to review or edit. Nothing is sent until you select Send.
Recover from an interruption
If the inbox or a submission cannot load, use Try again or return with Back to submissions. If an action fails, follow the on-screen retry message. Before leaving a reply with unsent changes, review the draft warning so you do not lose your work.
