Pre-saves that work for every fan, smart links with the DJ stores next to Spotify, and a release-day email at 9am in each fan's own timezone. For independent electronic artists and the labels behind them.
You pre-saved this one. It just dropped: listen or save it now.
Example release. Night Shift is a made-up artist.
A pre-save is a sign-up before your track is out. On droplr the fan leaves an email and picks where they listen, so nobody is shut out by a store login.
Since February 2026, Spotify only lets a new app save music for 5 people you allowlist by hand. Lifting that needs Extended Quota, which is only for registered businesses with 250,000+ monthly users. So droplr leads with email, adds a Follow on Spotify button, and says so plainly.
A smart link is one link that opens a page with every place to hear or buy your track. Beatport, Traxsource, Juno, Bandcamp and Qobuz sit right next to Spotify and Apple Music.
Paste a Spotify link and the artwork, colour and store links fill in. Not out yet? Make the page anyway.
Running a Beatport exclusive? Set it on the release and droplr warns you which links would break it, so you can switch them off until the window closes.
Stores release country by country, at midnight local time. So the page flips at midnight wherever the fan is, and the release-day email lands at 9am in their own timezone.
It leads with the store they picked when they pre-saved. A Beatport fan sees Beatport first.
Every address from a pre-save or a download gate is visible to you, on Free too. Paid plans export a CSV with the consent each fan gave and when.
Imported lists stay separate and never get release-day emails.
Link tools come and go: smartURL was bought and its analytics closed, Songwhip shut down, and Songlink switched off its API with about six weeks' notice. Your list shouldn't go with them.

Not for most fans, for any new app. Since February 2026, Spotify only lets a new app save music for 5 people you allowlist by hand, and lifting that needs Extended Quota, which is only for registered businesses with 250,000+ monthly users. So droplr pre-saves by email, with a Follow on Spotify button. On Artist Pro and the label plans you can connect your own Spotify app for your team and VIPs. How it works
Free is one artist and 3 new releases in any 12 months, for artists and labels alike: a rolling window, not a calendar-year reset. The release-day email goes to the first 250 pre-savers of each release. Fans past that still pre-save and never see an error. Links and pages never switch off.
Yes. Unreleased is fine. Apple Music, Deezer, Spotify and TIDAL fill in from the UPC or ISRC as they go live, you add the DJ stores by hand, and the page flips to out now at midnight in each fan's timezone.
They stay yours. Every address is visible on Free, and paid plans export a CSV with each fan's consent and when they gave it. The whole list downloads on any plan when you close your account.
Yes, on Artist Pro and the label plans, like music.yourname.com. One DNS record, and droplr verifies it and issues the certificate. Connecting one is invite-only for now while I prove the setup on real domains: email hello@droplr.fm and I'll switch it on for your account, usually the same day. Domain setup
Yes. Labels invite artists from the roster, and each artist gets their own login to copy their links and see stats for their releases. Pro includes up to 5 artists; Label has no limit.
Free to start with one artist and three releases in any 12 months. Pick the door that fits.
