Preferences & Visibility
Setting up your Inbox preferences helps you stay in control and on top of your incoming music. It signals to others users what you are looking for and when you are open for tracks.
Your Preferences & Visibility settings allow you to control what kind of music you receive, who can access your inbox, when submissions are accepted, and how artists interact with you. These settings help you create a more intentional, manageable, and high-quality submission experience.
Accepted Content
Genres
Choose which genres you want to receive. This helps guide artists before they submit and ensures you receive music that aligns with your preferences. You must select at least one genre.
Genre Filtering
Enable this option to block submissions that don’t match your selected genres. When turned on, senders will only be able to submit tracks within the genres you’ve chosen — reducing mismatched submissions and increasing relevance.
Access & Visibility
Password-Protected Inbox
You can restrict access to your inbox by setting a password. When enabled, only users with the password can submit tracks.
Use this when you want to:
Run private submission periods
Limit access to specific artists
Control who can reach your inbox
Create a VIP inbox for close friends and contacts
Visibility Options
Control how artists can find your inbox.
Private — Only accessible via your direct link. Your inbox is hidden from search and directory.
Public — Discoverable in Trackstack search and directory. Recommended for DJs and labels wanting broader visibility.
Pause Inbox
Temporarily stop new submissions from being received. When paused:
Artists can’t send new tracks
Your inbox is hidden from discovery
A custom “Pause Message” is displayed on your public page
Useful when you're:
Reviewing a backlog
Closing A&R windows
Taking time off
Preparing for a specific campaign or release
Availability
Opening Times
Opening Times allow you to choose when your inbox accepts new submissions — turning it from a 24/7 fire hose into a controlled, strategic tool.
You can:
Enable or disable Opening Times
Choose specific days (e.g., Mon/Wed/Fri)
Set start/end times
Configure your timezone
Set recurrence (e.g., weekly)
This feature is perfect for:
Labels running “demo drop days”
DJs opening submissions before weekend gigs
Anyone wanting predictable submission windows
If disabled: your inbox is always open.
Requirements & Limits
Required Fields
Specify which information senders must provide before submitting. This ensures you receive the details you need, such as:
Artist name
Social links
Email
Mandatory fields help reduce incomplete submissions.
Monthly Submission Limit
Limit how many submissions one sender can send per month. Each submission can contain up to 5 tracks.
For example, if you set a limit of 4 submissions per month, a sender can submit 20 tracks (4 × 5).
This helps manage volume and prevents spam while keeping your inbox focused.
Summary
Preferences & Visibility give you total control over:
What content you receive
Who can access your inbox
When your inbox is open
How much artists can submit
What information you collect from senders
These tools help you create a submission environment that fits your workflow, improves submission quality, and supports better professional relationships.
