Introducing Music Links: Linktree’s Enhanced Music Sharing Experience

Producers and artists love using Linktree to promote their music. Whether it’s showcasing tour dates with unlimited links or selling tickets and merch directly to fans using Commerce Links and Spring, Linktree is the ultimate monetization tool for musicians. But, as most artists know, it’s not only about the money. Sharing new releases with fans and forging connections with their audience is what drives a lot of a musician’s passion.

With music streaming on every corner of the internet, fans may find it difficult to discover songs by their favorite artists without a direct link. And, with so many streaming services available, artists don’t always know which link to choose. Well, we’ve provided the solution for both music lovers and musicians: Music Links.

This new Linktree feature connects fans with musicians by giving them a place to see everywhere the artist’s music is streaming, and even play a preview. Using content-matching technology, Music Links automatically detect the same song or album across streaming services and show visitors where they can listen to it.

This also empowers fans to share the music they’re loving, right on their Linktree. Have a favorite song of the week that you want the world to hear? Share it! Music Links are created for everyone to share the music they love, all with one link.

Touring, merchandise, and now streaming? That’s right: Linktree is officially a one-stop-shop for musicians!

Music Links also increase access to music for fans around the world, broadening an artist’s reach by letting them share music on whichever platform their fans prefer. The growth opportunities are boundless, for new and established musicians alike: Ashnikko, BENEE, Luke Combs, Wiz Khalifa, and Luke Hemmings of 5 Seconds of Summer are among the first major artists using Music Links to share content and connect with fans.

As a Linktree user and music lover, you are going to hear “Music Links” a lot, so let’s get familiar with the product.

How Music Links work

Instead of linking to only one platform hosting your music, a Music Link displays multiple streaming options, which allows fans to listen on their preferred service based on the country they’re in. So, if one of your fans doesn’t use Apple Music, they can jump on Spotify. If they don’t have a Tidal subscription, they can listen on Amazon Music. It’s so easy to activate and saves you a lot of time. Plus your fans will love how convenient it is for them to listen to your music and share it themselves.

Music Links are compatible with all of these top streaming services: Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes, YouTube Music, TIDAL, Pandora, Deezer, SoundCloud, Napster, Yandex Music, Spinrilla, Audius, Amazon Music, and the Amazon Store. The streaming services shown to your visitors are based on which platform your music is available on and what country they are in. You can also set the list in a specific order, if you know which platforms are most popular with listeners.

There are several ways to utilize the Music Link feature to share music.

Link to music streaming on different platforms

Using a song or album link from any of the platforms listed above will give your fans access to your music. You have a variety of ways to customize the appearance of a Music Link on your Linktree.
