Why creating free Spotify pre-save ?

Spotify Algorithmic Boost

Allowing your fans to presave your music on Spotify maximizes your chances of getting a boost from Spotify algorithmic playlists.

Increase your fanbase

Getting users to pre-save your music means that their library will contain your music on release day which increases the chances of getting more streams on release day.

Measure the success of your pre-save campaign

By creating a free Spotify pre-save, you will be able to get detailed insights about your upcoming release. Identify if your fans pre-save your song mostly on Spotify or Apple Music.

Create your free Spotify pre-save

Step 1: Create your Tunelinx.io Account

Enter the release title and artist name.

Select which Spotify artists you want the users to follow on Spotify when pre-saving the release.

Add the release date and time for your song or album

Upload an album or track artwork for your upcoming release

Your music distributor (CDBaby, Distrokid, Tunecore, Soundcloud for Artists, etc...) should provide you either an ISRC or UPC.

The ISRC is a unique identifier for each track.

The UPC is a unique identifier for the album.

You should provide either an ISRC or an UPC to allow tunelinx.io to pre-save the release. If you wish to pre-save the album to the user library use the UPC. If you wish to pre-save a single song to the library use the ISRC instead.

Step 3: Customize you free Spotify pre-save

Pick a custom path for your free Spotify pre-save link. For example the path "my-release" will generate a link like below.

If you prefer, you can also pick a custom subdomain, the link will now look like the following
