Share your music
ONCE gives every distributed release a public, shareable page: a smart link you can post anywhere that lets fans listen on their favorite platform, plus an optional public artist profile that ties your catalog together.
Your public release pages
Every distributed release gets its own page at beta.once.app/r/<release-id>, and it’s on by default, with no setup needed. On the release page in ONCE, tap Share Release in the action bar to:
- View your public page or copy the link to post anywhere
- Turn the page on or off with a single switch (it starts on)
Each release page shows:
- Cover art, title, artist, release date, and label
- “Listen on…” buttons for every store where your release is live: Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, TikTok, Amazon, Tidal, and the rest, so one link works for every fan
- The tracklist
- A link back to your artist profile, if you’ve enabled one
Store buttons appear as each platform reports your release live, so right after go-live a few may still be syncing.
Sharing a release
Use Share Release on the release page in ONCE, or the Share button on the public page itself (it opens your device’s share sheet on mobile). When you paste the link into social media or a chat app, it unfurls with a preview image built from your cover art, no setup needed.
Pre-save signups for upcoming releases
If a release is submitted but not out yet, its public page switches into countdown mode:
- Fans see the cover art, the release date, and how many days are left.
- A “Get notified on release day” form lets them leave their email.
- The moment the release goes live, each fan gets one email with a link back to the release page, no follow-ups, no mailing list.
This means you can start sharing your release link before release day and collect listeners while you wait.
You can watch signups come in, too: open Share Release on the release page in ONCE and a “fans waiting” badge shows how many people have asked to be notified. The badge sticks around after go-live, so you can see how many fans got the release-day email.
Signups are tied to the release; if you turn the release’s public page off, the signup form disappears too.
Turning a release page off
Don’t want a release public? Two ways to switch it off:
- On the release page in ONCE, open Share Release and flip the switch off.
- On your own public profile, tap the eye icon next to any release.
Either way, the release page and its cover art stop being publicly accessible immediately, and old links stop working until you switch it back on.
Your public artist profile
Your artist profile at beta.once.app/u/<your-id> collects all your public releases in one place. It’s optional and off by default:
- Go to your Dashboard.
- Find the Public Profile card and switch it on.
- Your profile is now live, the card gives you a copy-link button.
When your profile is on, your release pages link back to it (“More from …”), and visitors can browse everything you’ve put out. Release pages work independently of the profile, they stay shareable either way.
On your profile page you can also use the share icon (top right) to share or copy your profile link directly.
