A smart link for your music

Fans listen in different places. A smart link — also called a release page or pre-save page — is one link that opens a page with your cover and a button for every streaming service, so each fan taps the app they already use.

MuseGate makes these pages for free. Paste one Spotify, Apple Music or Deezer link and we fill in the title, artist, cover and the other services we can find.

What a good release page has

  • Your cover art, big, and the song or EP title.
  • A button for each service: Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, YouTube, Deezer, TIDAL, Amazon Music, SoundCloud, Beatport, Bandcamp and more.
  • A countdown and a pre-save button before release day.
  • A short, clean link: musegate.app/profile/you/music/song-name.
  • A preview that looks right when shared on Instagram, WhatsApp or X.
  • Stats for every release: views, clicks per streaming service, where fans come from and which countries.

Use it for your ads

Sending ad traffic straight to Spotify tells you nothing about who clicked. Sending it to your release page lets you measure it. On Pro, connect your Meta Pixel, TikTok Pixel and Google tag: the page reports a visit and a click on each streaming service, so you can build audiences of people who chose to listen and retarget them for your next release.

Pixels only load after a fan allows them in a small banner, which keeps your pages in line with privacy rules in Europe and Brazil.

See which links work

Every release page has its own stats, on the Free plan too: views and clicks per day, which streaming services fans pick, where the visits come from (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, WhatsApp, Google…) and which countries. Use it to see which post or ad actually sent listeners, and where to tour or promote next.

Before release day

Set a release date in the future and the page counts down to it. Add your pre-save link from DistroKid, Feature.fm or your distributor, and fans can pre-save from the same link you'll keep using after the release. When the day comes, the countdown disappears and the streaming buttons take over.

Set one up in two minutes

  1. Create a free MuseGate account and claim your username.
  2. Go to Music → New release page.
  3. Paste your Spotify, Apple Music or Deezer link and click Find links.
  4. Check the services, add any missing links (Beatport, Bandcamp, TIDAL…) and publish.
  5. Share the link in your bio, Stories and ads.

If you've used Fanlink, ToneDen or Linkfire

Those tools popularized the smart link. MuseGate keeps the release page simple and puts it next to the rest of your artist presence: your link-in-bio page shows every release in a Music tab, and your free downloads sit in their own tab with follow-to-unlock gates.

Questions

Is it free?

Yes. You get up to 100 release pages on any plan, with your own link, the pre-save countdown and clicks per service. Pro ($5/month) adds palettes and your own colors, and ad pixels.

Which links can it find automatically?

From a Spotify, Apple Music or Deezer link we read the title, artist and cover, and look the song up on Apple Music and Deezer. Add the other services by pasting their links.

Does it work for albums and EPs?

Yes. Paste the album or EP link instead of a song link.

Can I see how many people clicked each service?

Yes, on every plan. Open the release in Music → Stats to see views, clicks per service, sources and countries.

Will Google find my release page?

Yes. Each page has its own address, title, description and music data that search engines read, and it's listed in MuseGate's sitemap.
