PromoJukeBox allows labels, artists, producers and promotion agencies to choose between controlled recipient delivery, tracked links, email-verified shared links and open public sharing depending on the sensitivity and purpose of the release.

Why Unreleased Music Needs Different Protection

Prerelease promotion creates a balance between accessibility and control.

Industry recipients need convenient access to the music. At the same time, the sender may need to restrict who can access the release, whether files can be downloaded, how long access remains available and whether recipient copies should be individually protected.

There is no single security setting that is appropriate for every campaign. The right setup depends on the material, recipients and purpose of the promotion.

Choose the Right Sharing Method

Product Mailings are designed for professional promo delivery to selected contacts.

Link List creates individual tracked links for specific recipients.

One Link provides one shared URL with email verification and tracking.

Public Playlist provides open, non-tracked access and is intended for situations where confidentiality is no longer required.

For confidential prerelease campaigns, begin by choosing a recipient-based or tracked sharing method rather than a public link.

Depending on the sensitivity of the release, additional protection can include recipient-specific audio watermarking, restricted downloads, expiration dates, password protection or IP Lock.

A highly sensitive campaign may require several controls. A lower-risk campaign may benefit from fewer restrictions so professional recipients can access the music with less friction.

The objective is to use enough protection for the release without making legitimate promo access unnecessarily difficult.
