# Stream Pages

> How Fanaura's streaming link pages work -- automatic conversion from presave, platform routing, click tracking, SEO optimization, and the fan experience.

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.

<Note>One link. Every platform. Every fan gets where they need to go.</Note>

***

## 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.

***

## 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

<Tip>You don't have to create stream pages manually. When you create a release with a presave page, the conversion happens automatically on release day.</Tip>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Release Day Arrives">
    At midnight on the release date, Fanaura detects that the release date has arrived.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Presave Converts to Stream">
    The presave page automatically converts to a stream page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Platform Links Discovered">
    Fanaura searches for your song on streaming platforms using the ISRC code.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Links Populated">
    As platform links are found (Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, etc.), they're added to the stream page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Buttons Updated">
    The same URL fans used to presave now shows "Stream Now" buttons instead of "Pre-Save" buttons.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Info>No action needed from you. 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.</Info>

***

## 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

<Tip>The fan clicks once and they're listening. No searching, no copy-pasting song names, no hunting through search results.</Tip>

***

## How Streaming Links Are Found

Fanaura uses a combination of methods to find your streaming links:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="ISRC-Based Search">
    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.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="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
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="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.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Click Tracking

<Info>Every click on a stream page is tracked and attributed, giving you powerful insights into your audience.</Info>

### 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

* **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

<Tip>This data feeds into your fan profiles and campaign analytics, making every future campaign smarter.</Tip>

***

## 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

<Note>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.</Note>

***

## 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:card** -- `summary_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

<Info>When you or a fan shares your stream link on social media, it looks professional everywhere.</Info>

| Platform              | What Shows                                             |
| --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Instagram**         | Artwork and title in link preview                      |
| **Twitter/X**         | Large image card with artwork, title, and description  |
| **Facebook**          | Rich preview with artwork and streaming call-to-action |
| **TikTok**            | Link preview with artwork (in bio link)                |
| **iMessage/WhatsApp** | Rich link preview with artwork and title               |

## The Presave-to-Stream Lifecycle

Here's the full lifecycle of a release link:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="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
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="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
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="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
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Phase 4: Ongoing">
    **Evergreen**

    * The stream page stays active indefinitely
    * Additional platform links may be added as they're discovered
    * Click tracking continues
    * The link remains shareable forever
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Best Practices

<Tip>**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.</Tip>

<Tip>**Pin it in your bio.** Replace your presave link with the stream link once the release is live.</Tip>

<Tip>**Include it in email signatures.** Every email you send becomes a streaming opportunity.</Tip>

<Tip>**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.</Tip>

<Tip>**Track your platform split.** If 80% of your fans click Spotify, that's useful data for playlist pitching and platform partnerships.</Tip>

<Tip>**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.</Tip>

## Common Questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What if a platform link isn't showing up?">
    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.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="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.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="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.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="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.
