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.
