Fanaura does not distribute music to streaming services. Fanaura is a **fan marketing and promotion** platform — not a music distributor. We do not upload or deliver your music to digital service providers (DSPs). Your distributor handles distribution. What you do here is **ingest a music asset** as the first step toward a **pre-save campaign**: a fan-facing page and smart link that collects emails, phones, and engagement before release day, then hands fans off to stream when your track is live. **Music asset** = the track record in Fanaura (title, artwork, codes, dates, pre-save settings). **Pre-save campaign** = the fan journey and links built around that asset. You are not "releasing" through Fanaura; you are **building promotion and your fan list**. To start: go to **Assets**, open the **Music** tab, and click **+ Add Track** (or use Fanaura AI music ingestion if you prefer the guided card flow). The steps below match the in-app wizard. Fanaura Assets page with the Music tab selected *** ## How to ingest your music asset for a pre-save campaign ### 1. Add track * Begin by adding your track. * Type in your song name. * Optionally upload artwork if it is available. *** ### 2. Understand artwork status * Many artists do not have final artwork at this stage. * It is fine to continue without artwork if you are still early in the campaign. *** ### 3. Input ISRC and UPC codes * Enter your **ISRC** so stream links can be associated with your recording when the track is out on platforms (your distributor provides the ISRC). * **UPC** may be collected for reference; treat it as internal / future use rather than a live integration. Need more detail on codes? See [ISRC and UPC explained](/assets/music/isrc-and-upc). *** ### 4. Set announcement date * Set a date for when you plan to announce your track. * This is optional but useful for automating communications around your rollout. *** ### 5. Set pre-save opens date * Choose when the pre-save experience should become available to fans. * Many artists choose **Same as announcement** so fans can pre-save as soon as the track is publicized. *** ### 6. Set release date and add track * Set your **release date and time** to match your real go-live on streaming platforms (set with your distributor). * Use the control to proceed (for example **Add track** / continue) when you are ready for the next step. Fanaura uses this date to time pre-save conversion and fan messaging. It should match what your distributor has scheduled so pre-saves line up with when the song is actually live. *** ### 7. Configure the pre-save builder * Open the **pre-save builder** for your track. * Turn individual digital service providers on or off to match where you want fans to pre-save. *** ### 8. Ensure ISRC is added before release * Plan to have your **ISRC** saved in Fanaura **before** the release date. * That is what allows stream links to line up when the track goes live (distribution still happens through your distributor). *** ### 9. Finalize and apply changes * Review your choices and **apply** / save so the fan-facing experience matches your plan. * Double-check artwork and dates if you have updated anything since the first steps. *** ### 10. Confirm everything is set for release * Confirm your **ISRC** is on the asset and that you are ready for stream links when the track is live. * When release day arrives, your pre-save flow can transition fans from **pre-save** to **stream** — still as promotion; Fanaura is not your distributor. *** ## Quick reminders **Pre-save first, fans first.** The goal of ingesting the asset is a campaign that grows your owned audience (email, SMS opt-ins, behavior) — not replacing your distributor. **Share your smart link everywhere** — bios, stories, blasts, and automations — so the asset you built actually collects data. For behavior after you save the asset (analytics, editing, archiving), see [Managing releases](/assets/music/managing-releases) — in the product this may still appear as "release," but it refers to your **music asset and its pre-save campaign**. *** ## Next steps Where codes come from and how Fanaura uses them.
