When you’re setting up your campaign on Soundlink, it’s super important to use the right kind of Spotify link—because not every type of link will work.
This article clears up a common point of confusion: the difference between Albums, Singles, Tracks, and Playlists on Spotify—and which ones Soundlink can promote.
✅ First Things First: What Works on Soundlink?
We’ll explain everything in a second, but here’s the big takeaway:
Spotify Format | Can I use this on Soundlink? |
Track | ✅ Yes – fully supported |
Playlist | ✅ Yes – fully supported |
Album | ❌ No – not supported |
Single | ❌ No – not supported |
🎵 What’s the Difference?
Track = A Single Song
A track is exactly what it sounds like—a single song.
This is the link you need to promote a single song.
Format:
open.spotify.com/track/...✅ Works on Soundlink
Even if your release is called a Single on Spotify, you still need to use the track link, not the album link.
Single = A Release (Not a Track!)
A Single on Spotify is technically a small album—usually with 1–3 songs. When you release just one track, Spotify might group it as a “Single,” but the link they give you is an album link.
Format:
open.spotify.com/album/...❌ Doesn’t work on Soundlink
If you’re promoting just one song, don’t use the Single/Album link—grab the track link instead.
Album = A Full Collection
An album is a full release with multiple songs. It’s great for fans, but not for Soundlink ads.
Format:
open.spotify.com/album/...❌ Doesn’t work on Soundlink
Album pages don’t work with our campaign setup—they don’t let us drive direct streams the way track links do.
Playlist = A Curated List of Tracks
A playlist can include multiple songs (your own or others). These links are fully supported by Soundlink.
Format:
open.spotify.com/playlist/...✅ Great for promoting multiple tracks
Playlists are perfect if you want to showcase an EP, highlight a few singles, or promote a vibe or genre.
🔍 How to Get the Right Link
Here’s a quick way to get the correct track link, especially if you’ve only released one song:
Go to the song on Spotify.
Click the three dots next to it.
Tap Share > Copy Song Link.
Use that link in your Soundlink campaign.
Boom—you’re good to go.
✨ Final Tip
If your link isn’t working on Soundlink, chances are it’s an album or single link, not a track or playlist. Double-check the format and make sure it starts with:
open.spotify.com/track/...oropen.spotify.com/playlist/...
