Frequently asked questions

We're here to help with any questions you have about mood detection.

What’s a Drip preview link?

A stream-only, time-limited link you can post to social media or send privately. Listeners can hear your music early, but access expires based on your settings.

How do I make a Drip link?

On an existing project, click the 3-dot icon (More Options) next to the Details button and link icon, and click "Add Drip".

What controls do I have?

You choose how long each user can listen (e.g. 2x playlist duration) or how many total streams the link allows (e.g. 100 plays total).

What happens when it expires?

Listeners are prompted to join your email list so they don’t miss the next one. You’ll get a full list of subscribers and stats after the link closes.

Why would I use this instead of just posting my music?

Preview Links create hype, exclusivity, and insight, before your release goes public. You get data and momentum, and fans get to feel like insiders.

Can I post a Drip link on Instagram or TikTok?

Yes. You’ll get a unique link that works anywhere—just copy and paste it into your bio, stories, or posts.

Is this just for business people?

Not at all. Preview Links are artist-friendly and totally optional. They’re here when you want to test a release or build engagement.

How many listeners do I need to get good insights?

Even 50–300 streams can produce strong data. Our AI will look for patterns and help you understand what tracks connect where.

Can I use this like a virtual listening party?

Yes. Some artists treat Preview Links like invite-only sessions—great for superfans, close collaborators, or label execs to hear music early.
