The Music Catalog is where you add your tracks/albums/podcasts that you want to share with your fans.
Music must to be added here in order to deliver them to your fans DSP (Digital Streaming Platform).
Your Music Catalog can be found by heading to:
Settings > Music Catalog
Note: Be sure to add your artist links for Apple, Spotify and Deezer on the right hand side before you begin adding content to your catalog.

Released music guide
1. Start by clicking 'New catalog item' - you'll be asked whether the item has been released yet.
Select 'Yes.'
2. Paste in the Spotify track/album/podcast link or UPC/ISRC code for your item and hit search.
Note: Use the UPC or ISRC code - you can't use both.
3. The system will attempt to find your release. Once found, select it from the list.
4. You'll see the track being found across the DSPs.
Green tick - music found on DSP
Red cross - music not found on DSP

Unreleased music guide
Unreleased music guide

Select 'No.'
2. Add the UPC/ISCR code for your upcoming release and select the release date.
Hit finish.
3. The new release outline will now sit in the Music Catalog!
The closer you are to the release date of your music, the more likely our system will find your music straight away.
Not all DSPs receive and have music ready simultaneously. You may need to come back and 'refresh' the item in the Music Catalog ahead of your release date.
Some items may not appear here until the last 24 hours before release.
⚠️ Please Note: Be sure to check with your distributor how the URLs will be formatted for your release. This affects the deliverability of your release via a pre-save broadcast.
"track" or "album" will feature in the URL - regardless of what the release is, this needs to match what you upload to Openstage.
If your single has a URL with "album" in it, the system will be looking for "album" as a keyword so be sure to upload that single as an album in your Music Catalog.
Next steps
Once your music has cleared in the Music Catalog, you can create a pre-save broadcast, or a stream page.
