How it works

Set the rules. Send the link. See everything.

Sharing sensitive, unreleased music shouldn't mean losing control of it. With Songbox you keep both — security and insight — in three steps.

STEP 1

Lock it down

Add a password, lock the link to one email, set an expiry or embargo date, cap the number of plays and switch off downloads. You choose exactly how it can be heard.

STEP 2

Share one private link

Send a single beautiful, branded link. Your recipient listens in one click with no account and no download — the audio streams, so your files never leave your control.

STEP 3

See who's listening

Get a real-time alert the moment it opens, then see who listened, when, where, how many times and to the second how long they spent on each track.

Lock it down

Your music, your rules — enforced.

Stop trusting people to behave. Songbox lets you set hard limits on every private link, so a leak isn't just unlikely — it's traceable straight back to whoever caused it.

Password, email-lock, expiry & play caps

Require a password, tie a link to one specific email address, set an embargo or expiry date, and cap the number of plays. Switch downloads off so the music only ever streams.

Kill or update the link at any time

Even after you've shared a Songbox link, you can continue to make changes, add tracks, or kill the link completely.

Know exactly who's listening

No more guessing whether they listened.

"Did the A&R actually play it?" is no longer a mystery. Songbox shows you to-the-second engagement on every link, so you follow up with facts instead of hope.

To-the-second play analytics

See who opened your link, when, where and how many times — plus exactly how long they played each track. Spot the song they replayed and the one they skipped.

Real-time open alerts

Get notified the instant someone opens your Songbox. Time your follow-up for the moment your music is fresh in their ears, not three days later.

Change your mind anytime

You're never locked in.

A link you sent yesterday isn't set in stone. Update it, tighten the rules, or pull it entirely — the control stays with you long after you hit send.

Edit after sending

Swap a track, fix a typo, add a note or change the artwork — the same link updates live. No need to resend or apologise for the wrong version.

Kill any link in one click

Disable a Songbox the moment a deal falls through or a relationship sours. Access stops dead, instantly — and you can switch it back on just as easily.

You see the open the moment it happens — then watch exactly how far they got, track by track. That's the difference between hoping and knowing.

Questions

The security questions everyone asks.

Is my unreleased music safe to share on Songbox?

Yes. Your audio streams rather than downloads, so the files stay on our infrastructure and never land in someone's downloads folder. Layer on a password, an email lock, an expiry date, a play cap and you decide precisely who can hear it, for how long, and on what terms.

Can I tell if someone actually listened?

In detail. You get a real-time alert the moment a link is opened, then to-the-second analytics: who opened it, when, where, how many times, and exactly how long they played each track. No more wondering whether the A&R hit play or just left it open in a tab.

Can I stop access after I've already sent the link?

Anytime. Kill any link in one click and access stops dead — even links that were opened a minute ago. You can re-enable it just as fast if you change your mind, and you can edit the contents (tracks, notes, artwork) without ever resending.

What stops someone forwarding my link to other people?

Several layers, stacked as tightly as you like. Lock the link to one email so a forwarded copy hits a wall; cap the number of plays so it can't be passed around.

Do you let AI access or train on my tracks?

No. Your music is never fed to third-party AI models, and nothing is used for training. Our optional AI tagging only runs when you switch it on, account by account — and even then it's there to help you organise and search your own catalogue, never to expose it to anyone else.

How do labels and managers use this across a whole roster?

Songbox keeps your full roster of artists and writers organised in one place, with rich searchable metadata, royalty splits, publishing and writer details, and document management with an audit trail. Every private link you send still carries the same security controls and to-the-second analytics, whether it's one demo or a hundred.
