We collect all your shop and streaming links automatically.

 

One of the most unique features of LabelGrid is the automatic link fetching.

How it works

Behind the scenes we monitor your release as soon as it is created. Once we have a UPC and ISRC's for your tracks, our background link fetching micro-service searches a list of major DSP's to get the links to your music on the DSP's website.

How do I see my links?

We automatically display these links in a few places like the Catalog Manager, the Digital One-Sheet, and your Release Landing Page

Catalog Manager

On the Catalog Manager, you will see under each Release, a list of DSP icons. These icons will be greyed out when we do not have the link. If we do have the link, the icon will be highlighted and linked to the the DSP url. You can click to open the url or alt+click to copy the link to your clipboard.

Digital One-sheet

The links are also available on your release's shareable one-sheet page. This is handy for sharing the latest release details with your artists and other 3rd parties.

Where else are my links used?

We display these links in the following places automatically.

  • Shareable Digital One-sheets

  • YouTube post descriptions

  • Soundcloud post descriptions

  • HTML / BBCode / Rich-text snippets (see below)

  • Your public Release Landing Pages

  • WordPress Plugin release pages

See the following examples:

Release landing pages

We display the links on your release landing pages.

YouTube post descriptions

We display DSP url's in your YouTube post descriptions.

Note: the lbl.gr links all automatically redirect to the DSP that comes after the question mark (for example ?itunes will redirect to the release's iTunes album.

Soundcloud descriptions

We include DSP url's in your Soundcloud post descriptions (when posting via Soundcloud API only).

We also automatically tag your artists on Soundcloud if you have added their Soundcloud url to their artist profile inside LabelGrid.

Example auto-tagging of artists on Soundcloud
