Why switch

Ditch Dropbox, SoundCloud and Google Drive.

Generic file-sharing tools treat your music like any other file.

Songbox gives your songs a dedicated home: private, professional, and distraction-free. No ads. No algorithms. No competing content. Just your music, shared securely, presented exactly as intended, without handing control over to platforms built for someone else's interests.

A Dropbox / SoundCloud link

The file-dump way

  • A generic file-store, cluttered with ads and distractions
  • Artist-unfriendly terms & conditions
  • No idea if they ever pressed play
  • Files get downloaded, forwarded and leaked

A Songbox

The professional way

  • A beautiful branded page — they listen in one click
  • See exactly who listened, when, and for how long
  • Artwork, video, lyrics & a personal note, instantly
  • Password, email-lock, expiry & download control
Everything your music needs

One platform. Five superpowers.

Share, showcase, control, organize and monetize — all from a single link.

"My assistant and I love Songbox — we use it all the time at Mix This! for sending refs of my mixes to artists & producers for comments. A simple way to listen without downloading, so it never gets lost on their computer. Songbox even keeps track of how many times it was played."

Frequently asked

Questions, answered

What is a Songbox?
Think of a Songbox as a private playlist that you share via a link. It's the quickest way to share music privately, and it looks amazing. You create a Songbox with one click and your listeners listen with one click — way easier and quicker than other platforms. Tracks are streamed, which is super convenient for your listener while keeping your files safe. You can kill the link at any time, add passwords and lots more. You're in complete control.
Can I have multiple Songboxes?
Absolutely! You can create up to 10 on the Starter plan; on Pro and Business plans there's no limit. Each Songbox can be customised and personalised as needed.
Are you real?
Haha — we get asked this a lot, and the answer is "yes", we're real.

If you live chat, email or book a demo, you'll be speaking to one of the co-founders of the business: Michael or Ciarán. For obvious reasons, not Bryan.

We don't rely on AI or customer-service teams. We value every interaction with our users — it's our #1 way of taking feedback and improving the platform.
Why do I need to pay?
Songbox is independent. Unlike pretty much every other platform you might be thinking about, we haven't taken massive investment from corporate venture capitalists, and we're not owned by a huge parent corporation.

What that means in real terms is that we need to pay our bills and can't run at a loss. We're doing this on our own — and that means that, for now, we don't have a free tier.
Why shouldn't I use SoundCloud?
We want you to use whatever platform you like. However… consider these points when deciding:
  • SoundCloud recently changed their Terms & Conditions to allow your music to train AI models.
  • When a user clicks "play" on one of your tracks, SoundCloud doesn't play your music — it tries to get them to create an account.
  • When you send someone to your SoundCloud page, they're bombarded with ads, distractions and other reasons to click away.
Songbox is basically the opposite of all of the above. We prioritise simplicity, we don't show ads, and we definitely don't let AI access your tracks.
Why shouldn't I use Dropbox?
Dropbox is awesome! We use it and we love it — but for business docs, not our music. In this case, it's better to show than tell: Dropbox is great technology — no denying it. If you want to share your music the same way accountants all over the world share spreadsheets… go for it 🤓

Songbox is purpose-built for the music industry, and it shows.
Why shouldn't I use Disco?
If all you're looking for is a sync deal, then Disco might be the right choice for you.

That said, we have a lot of users who've left Disco to come to Songbox. What they tell us:
  • The Disco interface is bloated and confusing to use.
  • The platform is slow if you're searching a moderately sized catalog.
  • Our security, privacy and data features are better.
  • Our tools for managing not just a large catalog but a large roster (artists and writers) are better.
  • We have a much better publishing & metadata suite, with the ability to manage multiple layers of royalty splits, publisher and writer details.
Disco is pretty good — they've done an awesome job of copying and implementing a bunch of our features over the past few years. If you're tossing up between Disco and Songbox, we'd REALLY encourage you to book a demo and chat with the founders of Songbox (Disco DEFINITELY won't offer you that…).

Your music deserves better
than a Dropbox link.

Share it beautifully, know exactly who's listening, and get paid — all from one private link.
