Yes, free forever. Make as many smartlinks as you like, keep every stat, and your fan pages never show ads.

Which platforms does a smartlink cover?

Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, YouTube, Amazon Music, Deezer, and TIDAL. Paste your Spotify link and we find your release on the others wherever we can. For the rest, or a match in the wrong version, you paste the right link yourself.

What do I need to make one?

A free Soundmango account and a Spotify link to a track, an album, or a playlist. Your smartlink is ready seconds after you paste it.

Can I make a smartlink for a playlist?

Yes. Paste a Spotify playlist link and choose a featured track if you like. Fans who tap Spotify hear that track first, inside your playlist, and the playlist keeps playing after it. You can add links to the same playlist on other platforms too.

Can I choose what my link says?

Yes. Your link is soundmango.com/s/ followed by the name you choose, as long as nobody else has it. Pick it before you share it: if you change it later, the old link stops working and someone else can take it.

How long do you keep my stats?

For as long as your smartlink exists. We never delete a view or a click, so your stats from every release stay yours.

Do fans need an account?

No. Fans open your link, tap their platform, and listen. Their choice is remembered, so their favorite platform comes first next time.

Do fan pages track my fans?

Fan pages load no third-party analytics or ad trackers. We count views and clicks for your stats without storing anyone's IP address. Our privacy policy has the details.

Soundmango is a playlist promotion platform, and smartlinks are how we meet artists and curators. When you want your track on more playlists, or want to earn from the playlist you run, we're one click away.

Questions & answers

What is a smartlink?

A smartlink is one shareable link for a track, album, or playlist that opens it for each fan on the streaming platform they use. You'll also hear it called a fan link, music link, song link, or pivot link. A fan taps it and lands on a short page with the artwork and a button per platform: Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and so on. One more tap, and the music is playing in their own app.

Artists and playlist curators put smartlinks anywhere a link goes: social bios, posts and stories, ads, newsletters, press write-ups, and QR codes on posters.

How does a smartlink work?

Behind the link sits a landing page that holds your release's address on every platform. Most tools build it from a single link: you paste the release from one platform, and the tool looks for the same release on the others, using the codes your distributor attached to it (an ISRC for a track, a UPC for an album).

Check those matches before you share the link. Remasters, clean versions, and re-releases often carry their own codes, so a tool lands on the wrong version now and then. Some platforms also take a few days to list a new release, which means a link or two gets added after release day.

Social apps open links in their own built-in browser, where a fan is signed in to nothing. A good smartlink hands them over to the real streaming app, signed in and ready to play or save your track.

Why use a smartlink?

Because your fans listen in different places. Spotify is the biggest service, with 31.4% of the world's paying music subscribers at the end of 2025, followed by Tencent Music at 13.8%, Apple Music at 12.6%, YouTube Music at 12.4%, and Amazon Music at 8.5%, according to MIDiA Research. Share only a Spotify link, and a fan who pays for Apple Music has to go and search for you by hand. Plenty of them won't.

Here's what you get from one link:

Every fan in their own app. Nobody gets sent to a service they don't use.
Fewer lost clicks. Fans go from a social post to your track playing in two taps.
Numbers a plain link can't give you. You see views, clicks per platform, countries, and which post or ad sent each fan.
One thing to share. The same address works in your bio, your newsletter, and on a printed poster.
Room to fix things. When a release reaches a new platform or a link changes, you update the page, and every link you already shared is right.

When should you use a smartlink?

Use one whenever your music is out and you're talking to people whose streaming app you don't know. That covers most of a release:

Release day and the weeks after. Every post, story, and email about the new track points to one address.
Social bios. Followers on Instagram and TikTok listen everywhere, and your bio has room for very little.
Ads to new audiences. You don't know what a stranger listens on, and tagged links show which ad earned the clicks.
Press and your website. A blog's readers use every platform, and one link keeps the write-up tidy.
Posters, merch, and shows. One QR code serves the whole room.
Your back catalog. When an older track gets attention again, you have a link ready to share.
Playlists. Curators and artists running ads to a playlist send every click straight into it, and on Spotify the link opens on a chosen track with the playlist playing on after it.

When is a direct link better?

A direct link is better when you already know where the person listens, since a smartlink adds one tap. Skip it in these cases:

Someone asked for a specific link. A journalist or playlist curator who asks for your Spotify link wants exactly that.
Your audience sits on one platform. If your stats show nearly every fan choosing the same app, send them there.
Your music isn't out yet. There's nothing to open until release day, and that's where a pre-save comes in.
You want something other than a listen. For tickets, merch, or a mailing list, link to the page that sells or signs people up.

What is a pre-save?

A pre-save is a fan asking to have an unreleased track or album added to their library the moment it comes out. It's streaming's version of a pre-order, and it costs the fan nothing. There are three common ways to offer one:

Spotify Countdown Pages. Spotify's own pre-save page, inside the app. On release day, pre-savers get a push notification and the release lands in their library. As of November 2026, you need at least 3,000 monthly active listeners, and only new, original albums and EPs qualify, so singles don't.
Apple Music pre-adds. Fans add an upcoming release to their library with one tap and hear about it when it's available. Independent artists set these up through their distributor.
Pre-save links. Distributors and third-party tools offer a page where the fan logs in to their streaming account and approves access, so the tool saves the release on the day. This is the usual route for a single. Many of these pages ask for a follow as well, and some ask for an email address.

Pre-saves bring real listening. Spotify says nearly 60% of people who pre-save an album stream it in the first week, and that artists who publish a Countdown Page at least 7 days before release see nearly twice as many pre-saves.

Do pre-saves help with the Spotify algorithm?

Nobody outside Spotify knows how much. Spotify publishes no formula tying saves to its playlists, and most of the claims you'll read come from companies selling pre-save tools. Spotify does say that Release Radar draws on the artists a listener follows and the ones they listen to, so a follow is the part of a pre-save you can count on.

What is the difference between a smartlink and a pre-save?

A pre-save signs fans up before a release comes out, and a smartlink sends fans to listen once it has. They work at different moments and ask different things of the fan.

Smartlink

When: from release day, for as long as the music is out.
What the fan does: taps their platform and listens right away.
What it asks of them: one tap.
Platforms: every platform your release is on.
What you get: a listener today, plus views and clicks by platform, country, and source.

Pre-save

When: the weeks before release, up to release day.
What the fan does: logs in, approves access, and waits.
What it asks of them: trust, for music they usually haven't heard.
Platforms: mainly Spotify and Apple Music, plus whatever else the tool supports.
What you get: your release in their library on day one, a count of pre-saves, and often a follow.

Some tools combine the two: a pre-save page that turns into a smartlink on release day, so you share one address throughout. A pre-order is a third thing altogether, where the fan pays in advance for a download or a physical record.

Do you need a smartlink, a pre-save, or both?

Every release needs a smartlink, and a pre-save earns its place once you have fans ready to wait for your music. With a small audience, start with the smartlink: a stranger is unlikely to log in and approve access for a track they can't hear yet. Here's how the two fit into one release:

A few weeks before release: send the release to your distributor, which gives you time for everything below.
At least 7 days before: pitch your track to Spotify's editors in Spotify for Artists, and start sharing your pre-save if you're running one.
Release day: make your smartlink, check every platform link, and swap it into your bio and posts.
The first week: read your stats and put more into whichever post or ad brings the most clicks.
After that: keep the link live, since people find older music every day.

What is the difference between a smartlink and a link in bio?

A smartlink is for one release, and a link in bio page is for you: it lists your music, and often your shows and shop as well. Use both. Your bio holds the page that lists everything, and each post about a new track points to that track's smartlink, so a fan reaches the music in the fewest taps.

Do smartlinks hurt your streams?

No. Once a fan taps a platform, they're in that platform's normal app, and each play counts like any other. The only cost is the one extra tap on the way there.

What should you measure on a smartlink?

Start with the numbers that change what you do next:

Click rate. Clicks divided by views. It tells you how many people who reached the page went on to a platform, and it's the fairest way to compare one post or ad with another.
Clicks per platform. Plenty of Apple Music clicks make a pre-add worth setting up next time.
Countries. These show you where to aim ads and where your fans are before you plan shows.
Referring sites. These show which channels send you real traffic.
UTM tags. Add something like ?utm_source=instagram&utm_campaign=release-week to the end of your link, with a different tag per ad or post, and compare them side by side.

Smartlink stats count views and clicks. Streams and saves live on the platforms, so hold a jump in clicks up against the same days in Spotify for Artists and Apple Music for Artists.

What should you look for in a smartlink tool?

Plenty of tools have a free plan, and the limits are where they differ. Check these before you start sharing links:

Stats history. Some free plans stop at a week of stats, which rules out comparing one release with the last.
Limits. Look at how many links you get, and which features sit behind a paid plan.
Ads and branding. See what fans get shown on your page besides your music.
Platform coverage. Make sure the platforms your fans use are there, and that fixing a wrong match takes seconds.
App opening. Tap a test link from inside Instagram and TikTok on your own phone. It should land you in the streaming app, signed in.
Fan privacy. Read what the page tracks and which third parties load on it.

Some tools also add retargeting pixels and fan email capture, which are worth having if you run ads at a scale where the extra data pays for itself.
