Stream pages are the post-release counterpart to presave pages. Once your music is live on streaming platforms, your smart link transforms into a clean, beautiful page where fans can choose their preferred platform and start listening immediately.

What Is a Stream Page?

A stream page is a landing page that aggregates all the places your music can be streamed. Instead of giving fans a Spotify link (and losing everyone who uses Apple Music) or an Apple Music link (and losing everyone on Spotify), you give them one link that covers every platform. One link. Every platform. Every fan gets where they need to go.

The Stream Page URL

Your stream pages live at:
fan.fanaura.com/s/[artistSlug]/[trackSlug]
For example: fan.fanaura.com/s/midnightartist/midnight-drive

Automatic Conversion from Presave

Here’s the beautiful part: you don’t have to create stream pages manually. When you create a release with a presave page, here’s what happens on release day:
  1. At midnight on the release date, Fanaura detects that the release date has arrived
  2. The presave page automatically converts to a stream page
  3. Fanaura searches for your song on streaming platforms using the ISRC code
  4. As platform links are found (Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, etc.), they’re added to the stream page
  5. The same URL fans used to presave now shows “Stream Now” buttons instead of “Pre-Save” buttons
No action needed from you. The transition happens automatically. Fans who bookmarked your presave link or have it saved in their messages will see the stream page when they click it after release day.

What Fans See

When a fan visits your stream page, the experience is clean and focused:

Page Layout

  • Album artwork — large, high-quality display of your cover art (same as the presave page)
  • Song title — prominently displayed
  • Artist name — your name or “Artist Name feat. Collaborator”
  • “Stream Now” buttons for each available platform:
    • Spotify (with Spotify icon and brand colors)
    • Apple Music (with Apple Music icon)
    • YouTube Music (with YouTube icon)
    • Amazon Music (with Amazon icon)
    • Deezer (with Deezer icon)
    • Tidal (with Tidal icon)
    • And any other platforms where the song is available

How Platform Buttons Work

Each button takes the fan directly to the song on that platform:
  • Spotify — opens the track in the Spotify app (on mobile) or Spotify web player (on desktop)
  • Apple Music — opens the track in the Apple Music app or web player
  • YouTube Music — opens the track on YouTube Music
  • Amazon Music — opens the track on Amazon Music
  • Deezer — opens in the Deezer app or web player
  • Tidal — opens in the Tidal app or web player
The fan clicks once and they’re listening. No searching, no copy-pasting song names, no hunting through search results.
Fanaura uses a combination of methods to find your streaming links: If you provided an ISRC code when creating your release (or it was found during the ISRC lookup in the Music Ingestion Wizard), Fanaura uses it to search platforms:
  1. Spotify API — searches by ISRC to find the exact track
  2. Apple Music API — searches by ISRC for the Apple Music listing
  3. YouTube Music — searches by ISRC or track metadata
The ISRC is the most reliable way to find the correct track, because it’s a globally unique identifier for that specific recording.

Metadata Fallback

If the ISRC doesn’t return results on a platform (some smaller platforms don’t support ISRC search), Fanaura falls back to searching by:
  • Artist name + track title
  • Album name
  • Release date

Timing

Not all platforms publish music at the same time. Spotify and Apple Music are usually first (midnight on release day), while some platforms may take hours or even a day to index the track. Your stream page updates automatically as new platform links are discovered.

Click Tracking

Every click on a stream page is tracked and attributed:

What’s Tracked

  • Which platform the fan clicked (Spotify, Apple Music, etc.)
  • When they clicked (timestamp)
  • Who clicked (if the fan has been identified via data wrapper or previous interaction)
  • Where they clicked from (geographic location via IP)
  • Referral source (if UTM parameters are present)

Why It Matters

Click tracking gives you powerful insights:
  • Platform preference breakdown — see what percentage of your fans use Spotify vs Apple Music vs YouTube Music
  • Geographic engagement — where in the world fans are streaming
  • Campaign attribution — which promotional channels drive the most streams
  • Fan-level data — see which specific fans clicked and what platform they chose
This data feeds into your fan profiles and campaign analytics, making every future campaign smarter.

Platform Routing

Fanaura uses smart platform routing to give fans the best experience:

Mobile App Detection

On mobile devices, clicking a platform button attempts to open the platform’s native app. If the app is installed, the fan goes straight to the song in-app. If not, they’re taken to the web version.

Direct-to-Song

Unlike generic link aggregators that send fans to a search results page, Fanaura sends them directly to the specific track. No extra steps, no confusion, no wrong results.

SEO and Social Sharing

Stream pages are optimized for search engines and social media sharing:

Open Graph (OG) Metadata

Every stream page includes:
  • og:title — your song title and artist name
  • og:description — “Stream [Song Title] by [Artist Name] on Spotify, Apple Music, and more”
  • og:image — your album artwork (optimized for social media preview sizes)
  • og:url — the canonical URL of the stream page

Twitter Cards

Stream pages include Twitter Card metadata:
  • twitter:cardsummary_large_image (shows a big preview image)
  • twitter:title — song title and artist name
  • twitter:description — streaming prompt
  • twitter:image — your album artwork

What This Means in Practice

When you or a fan shares your stream link on social media:
  • Instagram — shows artwork and title in link preview
  • Twitter/X — shows a large image card with artwork, title, and description
  • Facebook — shows a rich preview with artwork and streaming call-to-action
  • TikTok — shows link preview with artwork (in bio link)
  • iMessage/WhatsApp — shows a rich link preview with artwork and title
Your link looks professional and eye-catching everywhere it’s shared. No ugly generic URL previews.

The Presave-to-Stream Lifecycle

Here’s the full lifecycle of a release link:

Phase 1: Pre-Release (Presave Active)

  • URL: fan.fanaura.com/link/presave/[slug]
  • Fans see: Presave buttons (Spotify, Apple Music, etc.)
  • Data collected: Email, phone, platform preference, consent

Phase 2: Release Day (Automatic Conversion)

  • The presave page transforms into a stream page at midnight
  • Streaming links are populated via ISRC search
  • Any fan visiting the presave URL is redirected to the stream page

Phase 3: Post-Release (Stream Active)

  • URL: fan.fanaura.com/s/[artistSlug]/[trackSlug]
  • Fans see: “Stream Now” buttons for all platforms
  • Data collected: Click tracking, platform preference, engagement

Phase 4: Ongoing

  • The stream page stays active indefinitely
  • Additional platform links may be added as they’re discovered
  • Click tracking continues
  • The link remains shareable forever

Best Practices

  • Share your stream link on release day. The moment your music is live, blast the link across every social platform, email list, and SMS list. The first 24 hours are critical for algorithmic pickup.
  • Pin it in your bio. Replace your presave link with the stream link once the release is live.
  • Include it in email signatures. Every email you send becomes a streaming opportunity.
  • Check platform coverage. After release, visit your stream page to make sure all major platforms have been found. If one is missing, you can manually add the link.
  • Track your platform split. If 80% of your fans click Spotify, that’s useful data for playlist pitching and platform partnerships.
  • Keep sharing beyond release week. Stream pages are evergreen. Keep sharing the link in social posts, at live shows, and in future campaigns. Every new stream counts.

Common Questions

Some platforms take longer to index new releases. If a platform is missing after 24 hours, check if the song is actually live on that platform. You can manually add platform links from your release settings.

Can I use the stream page even if I didn’t set up a presave?

Yes. You can create a release after it’s already live on streaming platforms. The stream page will be generated with whatever platform links Fanaura can find.

Does the stream page collect fan data like the presave page?

The data wrapper (email/phone collection) only appears on first visit. Click tracking happens on every visit. So returning fans are tracked for clicks even though they don’t see the data wrapper again.

Can I customize which platforms appear?

Yes. In your release settings, you can toggle platforms on or off and reorder them. Put the most popular platforms for your audience at the top.
