One Smart Link for Every Streaming Platform.
Add a song once — cover art, title, artist — then drop in up to 12 streaming links. Fans see every platform as a brand icon and tap the one they already pay for. No fee per release, no separate landing page: the release card lives on your own udots profile, next to your shows, merch and blog.

A music smart link solves one problem: your song is on ten platforms, but your Instagram bio holds one link. The usual answer is a dedicated smart-link tool that builds a separate landing page per release — and charges per release, per click or per plan tier. udots does the same job as part of your profile. Every release is a card: cover art, title, artist and up to 12 streaming links across Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud, Bandcamp, Deezer, Tidal, YouTube Music, Beatport, Mixcloud and Bandsintown. Each platform keeps its own brand icon, each tap is counted separately, and Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud and YouTube Music play directly inside the card. That card sits on the same page as your tour dates, merch links and blog posts — so one URL in your bio covers the whole release cycle instead of one landing page per single.
A release card, not a link list
One card, every platform
Cover art, title and artist once; then up to 12 streaming links in the same card. Visitors see a row of brand icons — Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud, Bandcamp, Beatport — and tap the service they already use. No redirect page in between, no interstitial to dismiss.
Player on the page
Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud and YouTube Music play right inside the card — the first embeddable platform in your order becomes the player. Visitors listen without leaving your profile, and you can switch the player off per release if you would rather keep the page light.
Click stats per platform
Every platform icon is counted on its own, so you learn whether your audience sits on Spotify, Beatport or Bandcamp — not just that "the link got clicks". Computed server-side, cookie-free, and no consent banner on your profile.
No fee per release
Unlimited release cards on the free plan. No charge per release, no charge per click, and no cap that forces an upgrade the month you put out an album instead of a single.
On your profile, not a separate page
The release card sits between your tour dates, merch link, press kit and blog posts. One URL in your bio covers the whole release cycle — and fans who came for the new single find everything else you do on the way down the page.
Scheduled release day
Set the exact moment a release card goes live and it publishes itself — for a midnight drop, or a pre-save link that should appear two weeks ahead. Scheduling is the one Pro part; the release card itself is free.
Ten platforms, one card
Each of these is a first-class platform with its own brand icon in the card. A card holds up to 12 links, so a release can carry the same platform twice — an album page and a single page, say — when you need it.

Missing a platform? Add it as a normal link below the release card — and let us know. Platforms are maintained centrally, so a new one shows up for everybody at once.
Four steps, about two minutes
Create the release
Content → Music release. Cover art, title, artist. A short description if you want one.
Paste your links
Pick a platform, paste the URL. Repeat up to twelve times — the order you add them is the order fans see.
Sort it to the top
Drag the card to the top of your profile so the new single is the first thing a visitor sees. Older releases keep their own cards below.
Share one URL
udots.me/yourname goes in your Instagram, TikTok and YouTube bio — the same link before, during and after release day.
Built for people who release music
Solo artists & bands
A release card per single and album, tour dates below, merch and press kit on the same page. One link that works for fans, bookers and journalists at the same time.
DJs & electronic producers
Beatport, Spotify and SoundCloud in one card for the track; your mixes stay as links with the player embedded. The per-platform stats tell you whether promo traffic lands on Beatport or on Spotify.
Labels & managers
On the Agency plan you run several artist profiles from one organisation and post release cards on their behalf — scheduled across the roster for a coordinated drop.
Beatmakers & producers
The release card for your EP, your beat store as a separate link right below it, collab and licensing contact on the same profile. No PDF press kit to keep up to date.

What a music smart link actually has to do
Strip away the marketing and a smart link has three jobs. It has to get a listener from one tap to the platform they already pay for, without making them choose from a wall of unfamiliar logos. It has to survive the release cycle, so the same URL works two weeks before the drop and six months after. And it has to tell you something afterwards — not just that people clicked, but where they went. The release card does all three in one block. Brand icons mean recognition instead of reading: someone who pays for Apple Music finds the Apple Music icon without parsing a list. The card stays at the same profile URL forever, so your bio link never needs swapping. And because every icon is counted separately, the click data answers the question that matters for your next promo budget — whether your listeners are on Spotify, Beatport or Bandcamp. What it deliberately does not do is sit on its own domain and collect fan data. The card is part of your page, and the analytics behind it are server-side and aggregated.
Why the release card lives on your profile, not on its own page
Most smart-link tools build a standalone landing page per release. That makes sense for a label running paid campaigns against a single track, and much less sense for an artist. A dedicated release page is a dead end: a fan lands, taps through to Spotify, and never sees that you are on tour in June, that there is a new merch drop, or that you wrote 800 words about how the record came together. Every release becomes its own silo, and your audience relationship restarts with each single. On udots the release card is one item on your profile, ordered alongside everything else you do. A fan who arrives for the new single scrolls past your tour dates and your blog on the way out. That is also why the whole thing is free: it is not a separate product with its own pricing, it is one of the content types your profile already supports — the same as a link, an image carousel or a blog post. The only part gated behind Pro is scheduling the exact publication moment, and that applies to every content type, not just releases.
Per-platform click data without a consent banner
When a visitor taps the Beatport icon in a release card, udots records a click on that release with that target URL. Same release, different destination — so the breakdown in your analytics shows which platform the tap went to, not just that the card was clicked. That is the number that changes decisions: if 70% of taps go to Beatport, your next promo push belongs on Beatport, whatever the streaming aggregator dashboards say. All of it is computed server-side from anonymised request data. Your public profile sets no tracking cookies and needs no consent dialog, which also means the numbers are not eaten by people clicking "reject" on a banner. IP addresses are anonymised after 90 days, and everything is hosted on servers in Germany. Free profiles see the last 7 days; Pro opens the full history with referrer, device and browser breakdowns and CSV export.
Questions about the music smart link
Is the music smart link really free?
Yes. Release cards are free for everyone, with no limit on how many you create and no charge per release or per click. The only Pro part is scheduling the exact moment a card goes live. Free profiles also see 7 days of click history; Pro opens the full history.
Can I add up to 12 platforms, or 12 links?
Twelve links per card. udots supports ten platforms as first-class entries with their own brand icons — Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud, Bandcamp, Deezer, Tidal, YouTube Music, Beatport, Mixcloud and Bandsintown — and a card can hold the same platform more than once if you need to point at both an album page and a single page.
What about pre-save links?
udots does not run pre-save campaigns itself — those live with your distributor or a pre-save service. What you can do is add the pre-save URL to the release card (or as a normal link above it) and, on Pro, schedule exactly when it appears and when the finished release replaces it. So the campaign runs where it always ran; your bio link just always points at the right stage of it.
Can I see which platform fans actually click?
Yes, that is the point of counting every icon separately. Each platform tap is recorded against the release with its own destination, so your analytics show the split across Spotify, Apple Music, Beatport and the rest — not one undifferentiated click total.
Is this a Linkfire or Hypeddit alternative?
For the core job, yes: one link that sends a listener to the streaming platform they use, with click data afterwards. The difference is shape and price. A smart-link tool gives you a standalone landing page per release and usually prices by release, click or plan tier. udots gives you a release card inside a full bio-link profile — free, with your shows, merch and blog on the same page. If you run paid ad campaigns against individual tracks and need per-campaign landing pages and retargeting at scale, a dedicated tool still does more.
Do visitors get a cookie banner?
No. Your public profile sets no tracking cookies, so there is nothing to consent to. Click and view stats are computed server-side from anonymised data on servers in Germany, and IP addresses are anonymised after 90 days.
What happens to my older releases when a new one drops?
Nothing — they stay as their own cards. You drag the new release to the top and the back catalogue sits below it, each with its own cover art and its own streaming links. There is no URL to swap and nothing to overwrite, which is the main difference from running a single "latest release" link.
Can I use a release card for a mix or a DJ set?
Yes, if it has streaming links — a Beatport or SoundCloud release works the same way. For a long mix you may prefer a plain link with the player enabled, since the card is designed around one piece of music on several platforms.
