We have been working very closely with SoundCloud over the last year and are pleased to announce that we can now offer deliveries to their platform as a DSP.
We can deliver your releases to SoundCloud, who will then map this delivery to your label channel URL. Your release will then appear on SoundCloud, on your desired release date, as it would on other DSP’s.
HOW TO SET UP AUTOMATED DELIVERIES FOR MY LABEL
If you would like to set up automated deliveries to SoundCloud for your label, check through the below points to ensure you understand the process and how it will work. Once happy, just simply enter the relevant details on this form:
SoundCloud - Automated Deliveries (Label Mapping)
Our team will then receive your request and contact SoundCloud to set up deliveries. Once set up, we will confirm this with you, along with presenting you your "Track Report".
Your label will then be set up for deliveries and you should see SoundCloud now as a DSP within the Label Worx LMS
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT IS A TRACK REPORT AND WHAT DO I NEED TO DO?
The Track Report will be an export of everything currently on your channel and highlighting uploads that are not currently monetised. You can then complete this sheet and send it back to us. We'll then ensure your existing uploads are monetised correctly going forward.
HOW WILL MY CONTENT APPEAR ON SOUNDCLOUD?
Your releases will be delivered to SoundCloud as we do with all other DSP's, as a complete package with full-length tracks.
Due to the way that the SoundCloud platform works, your release will appear first as individual tracks and then as an "album". This Album simply acts like a traditional SoundCloud playlist and simply "hosts" the individual tracks.
The album is ideal to use in your Smart URLs and buy links as it directs fans to the full release.
HOW CAN I MANAGE THE RELEASE DATE ON SOUNDCLOUD?
Once set up, you will have full control over when your release will appear on SoundCloud.
You do this in the "Schedule" tool when creating a release. You will see that SoundCloud will appear as a DSP within the list. SoundCloud will be listed as a streaming store, so if you use the "Quick Set Options" it will simply fall in line with all other streaming stores.
You can set a custom date if you so wish or can opt-out of deliveries to SoundCloud altogether if you had a release with particular versions (streaming/download, for example)
