FAQ

RDROP.ME is a link-in-bio / smart-link platform for music. Artists get a single page per release (and one for their overall profile) that automatically shows every streaming/DSP link the release is available on - Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and more. Fans who visit that page can jump straight to their platform of choice, and artists get analytics on who's visiting and clicking.

When you sign up, you choose one of two account types:

• Artist - for musicians, labels and teams who want to manage releases, platform links, and see analytics for their own catalog.
• Fan/Listener - for people who just want to follow artists, get notified about new releases, like releases, and set a preferred streaming platform for one-click listening.

You can't switch between the two after signing up - if you need both, use two separate accounts.

Go to the registration page, pick Artist or Fan, and fill in your username, email and password. You'll get a confirmation email - click the link in it to verify your address.

If you signed up as an Artist, you'll be guided through a short onboarding flow: create your artist profile, get pointed at linking your first platforms, and add your first release. Fans skip straight to their Feed.

Go to Catalog and add a release by title, optionally with its UPC. If you provide a UPC, RDROP.ME automatically scans supported platforms (Deezer, Tidal, and others) to pull in cover art and platform links for you - you can always add or edit links by hand afterwards on the release's Platforms tab.

Open the release in your Catalog and go to its Platforms tab. Every supported DSP shows up as a slot - if RDROP.ME already found a matching link during scanning it's filled in automatically, otherwise you can add the link yourself. You can toggle any platform active or inactive; inactive platforms are hidden from the public release page.

Every artist and every release has its own public page (rdrop.me/your-artist-name and rdrop.me/your-artist-name/release-name). Use the Share button on a release, or the Share page in your account, to grab the link directly - that's what you post on social media or put in your bio.

Yes. Every release can be marked inactive from your Catalog - it stays in your account and keeps its history/stats, but its public page and platform links are no longer shown to visitors.

Your Dashboard always shows a quick, fixed last-7-days snapshot: visitors, catalog views, clicks, click-through rate, and followers. Insights (available on Pro+ plans) goes deeper - you can pick a time range (7/14/30/90 days), see a visits-vs-clicks timeline, breakdowns by country, platform, referrer, device, browser and OS, an activity heatmap by day/hour, and which releases are gaining or losing momentum week over week.

A visit is a deduplicated session - if the same visitor loads several of your pages within 30 minutes, that's one visit, not several. Views and clicks from members of your own artist team, and traffic coming from a link inside the app itself, are automatically flagged and excluded from your visible stats, so you won't see inflated numbers from checking your own page.

Yes. Open a release in your Catalog - if you're on a plan with Advanced Insights, you'll see an Insights tab next to Platforms with a full breakdown (timeline, platform clicks, country, referrer, device) scoped to just that release, with the same 7/14/30/90-day range picker. On the Simple Insights tier, you'll instead see a small block with just the last 7 days' totals - no platform breakdown.

Visit the artist's RDROP.ME page and click the follow button next to their name (you'll need to be logged in). You can't follow an artist you're a team member of yourself. Everything you follow shows up in your Feed, and drives which release notifications you get.

In Settings, you can pick your preferred streaming platform (e.g. Spotify) and enable automatic redirect. Once that's on, visiting an artist or release page you'd otherwise land on takes you straight to that release on your platform, instead of showing the full page with every platform button - as long as the release actually has a link for that platform.

In Settings, choose how you want to hear about new releases from artists you follow:

• Immediately, per release - one email as soon as a followed artist drops something new.
• Weekly summary - one email listing everything new that week.
• Monthly summary - one email listing everything new that month.
• Off - no release emails at all.

Liking a release (the heart icon on a release page or in your Feed) is a simple way to show support - the artist can see how many likes each release has alongside their view/click stats. It doesn't affect notifications or your Feed order.

Your Feed is the home page for listener accounts - a chronological list of releases from every artist you follow, newest first. If you're not following anyone yet, it'll suggest visiting an artist's page and following them to get started.

RDROP.ME has Free, Pro, Pro+ and Unlimited plans for artists. Higher plans unlock things like managing more artists at once, team management, adding releases manually, more frequent catalog refreshes, removing RDROP.ME branding, and Advanced Insights (the deeper analytics with range filtering, breakdowns, and per-release insights). Every artist account gets Simple Insights on the Dashboard regardless of plan.

Yes, on plans with Team Management you can invite other people to your artist's team. Each team member gets a role (Owner, Admin, Member, or Viewer) that controls what they're allowed to change. Labels can also manage multiple artist teams from one account.
