How to Enable Downloads for Playlists Using External Links on SoundCloud
How can users link to external sites to download playlists?
Downloads can only be enabled for individual tracks, not for entire playlists. However, you can allow your fans to download or purchase all the tracks within a playlist by adding a "Buy" button that links to an external site. To do this:
- Add a Buy Link: Go to your playlist’s edit page and navigate to the ‘Metadata’ tab. Here, you can add a link to another site, such as iTunes, Bandcamp, or any other platform where your playlist is available for download or purchase.
- Save the Changes: Once you've added the link, click 'Save', and a "Buy" button will appear below the playlist's waveform, directing listeners to the external site.
What are the customization options for the "Buy" button, especially for users with a Artist Pro subscription?
For users with a Artist Pro subscription, the "Buy" button offers additional customization options:
-
Customize the Button Text: You can change the wording of the "Buy" button to something else, such as "Download" or "Support," by editing the "Link title" in the 'Metadata' tab. This feature allows up to 22 characters for the button text, making it possible to direct your listeners to specific actions, like making a donation.
- Apply and Save: After customizing the text, click 'Save', and the new button will be displayed under the playlist's waveform, providing a tailored call-to-action for your listeners.
By following these steps, you can effectively direct your fans to external sites for downloading playlists and customize the "Buy" button to better fit your needs, especially if you have a Artist Pro subscription.
