What are free downloads? Why should I use them?
-
When you first upload a track to Last.fm, it will only be available at random on the radio, or directly from your page as a 30 second preview. You can get extra promotion for your tracks by setting them as a free download. This can really boost your number of listeners and is a great option for promotional or out-of-print tracks.
You can edit the download settings in the Music Manager under Manage > Catalogue > clicking on a release > using the tickboxes underneath the tracks.
-
Why are my releases linked to Amazon?
-
All of the releases on Last.fm are linked to Amazon by default due to our affiliate deal with them; however, you can add in your own link at any time, or get rid of them completely by changing the shop links for your releases in the Music Manager under Manage > Buy Links.
Last.fm does not place any music on Amazon or any retail sites.
-
How do I set up links to online shops from my releases?
-
It is easy to set up links to online shops from your releases on Last.fm, whether it be to a service such as indiestore, or your own online shop. This can be done in your Music Manager under Manage > Buy Links > selecting "I have my own shop" and entering the details.
-
What is a label journal?
-
A label journal is your direct line to our users. It will be displayed on your label page, as well as those of any label, track, or release that you link to in an entry. You can use this journal for whatever you like, whether it's news on upcoming releases or tours, or simply what you had for lunch in the office today.
To update your label journal, visit your Music Manager then Label Page > Journal.
