FAQ

Questions, answered

Getting started

What is Soundprint?

Soundprint is a home for your music taste. Pick the albums and tracks that define you and share them with one link.

Is it free?

Yes. Soundprint is free to join and free to use.

How do I sign up?

Sign in with Google or with a 6-digit code sent to your email, then claim your username. Your profile lives at soundprint.link/yourname.

Do I need a Spotify or Apple Music account?

No. You can add music from Spotify, Apple Music or YouTube, and anyone can view your profile without signing in.

Your profile

What can I add?

Albums and tracks. Copy the link to an album or track from Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube or YouTube Music, paste it into your editor, and it’s added to your profile with links to all three services. You can add up to 100 albums and 200 tracks, in whatever order you like.

Can I add playlists?

No. You can add albums and tracks to your profile, but not playlists. To put your own selection of music together, make a mixtape.

Can I add AI-generated music?

No. Soundprint is about the music people love and the artists who make it, so AI-generated albums, tracks and artists aren’t allowed. We remove them, along with accounts that keep adding them.

What if a link is wrong?

Every album and track on Soundprint links to Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube. If one of those links isn’t right, you can correct it from your editor.

What else can I put on my profile?

A photo, a short bio, links to your Instagram, X, TikTok, YouTube, SoundCloud and website, and an accent colour.

Listening

Where can people listen to my picks?

Wherever they like. Every album and track on Soundprint comes with its Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube links, so anyone can play it or save it in their favorite streaming app.

Can I listen on Soundprint itself?

Yes. Albums and tracks play right on Soundprint through YouTube’s official player. On a computer, the music keeps playing as you browse. On a phone, it plays on the album or track page.

Why was a song skipped?

Some videos can only be played on YouTube itself, such as age-restricted songs or YouTube Music Premium exclusives. Soundprint skips them and gives you a link to open them on YouTube.

Are there lyrics?

Yes. You’ll find them on album and track pages, provided by LRCLIB.

Sessions

What’s a session?

A live listening room. Build a queue from albums, tracks and mixtapes on Soundprint, then invite up to 10 people to listen with you. Everyone hears the same moment on their own phone or computer, and can chat as it plays. The host (and up to 2 co-hosts) run the music, for up to an hour.

How do I start one?

Choose Start a session on any album, track, mixtape or profile, or go to Sessions, where you can line up several albums, tracks and mixtapes in the order you want and give the session a title.

Who can join?

You choose each time. Public: it’s on your profile and the Sessions page, and anyone can join. Unlisted: anyone with the link can join. Private: only the Soundprint members you invite.

Can I schedule one?

Yes, up to 90 days ahead, with up to 3 scheduled at a time. An hour before, its link opens as a waiting room where people can join and chat, and the music starts when you press start. If it isn’t started within 30 minutes of its time, it’s cancelled.

Do I need an account to join?

No. Type a name and you’re in. To chat, host, or join a private session, sign in.

Can someone help me host?

Yes. You can make up to 2 people in the session co-hosts. They can play, skip and add to the queue too.

When does a session end?

After an hour, when you end it, or a minute after every host has left.

How do I find sessions?

Go to Sessions in the menu. A dot appears next to it whenever a public session is live.

What’s a session recap?

When a session ends, its link shows what played, in order, so anyone who missed it can play it back. Who was there is shown for 30 days; after that, only how many listened.

Clash

What’s Clash?

Two tracks from Soundprint profiles go head to head, and you pick the better one. Everyone’s picks add up to a leaderboard of the best tracks ever curated on Soundprint. Play Clash.

Who can vote?

Anyone can listen. To vote, sign in and make your profile.

How are the tracks picked?

At random, from every track on Soundprint profiles and mixtapes, including the tracks on albums. The tracks with the fewest votes come up first, so everything gets heard. You’ll never get the same pair twice, or two tracks by the same artist.

How does the leaderboard work?

Every track starts at 1500. A win moves it up and a loss moves it down, and beating a track ranked higher moves it up more. A track joins the leaderboard after its first vote.

Can I skip a matchup?

Yes. Skip gives you a new pair without voting.

Is there a limit?

Up to 60 votes an hour and 300 a day, to keep it fair.

Can the music on my profile be in Clash?

Yes. Any track on your profile, or on an album on your profile, can come up, as long as it plays on YouTube.

Mixtapes

What’s a mixtape?

A mixtape is music you put together for a reason: a mood, a moment, a road trip, a person. It’s the same idea as burning a CD for a friend. Make it all tracks, all albums, or a mix of both, give it a title and a theme, and it becomes its own page that plays from start to finish.

Can I share a mixtape?

Yes. Every mixtape has its own link you can send to anyone. You can also download it as a poster, sized for stories, posts or print, with an optional QR code people can scan to listen.

How do I make one?

Go to the Mixtapes tab in your editor and choose from the music on your profile. You can make up to 20 mixtapes.

Profile posters

How do I make a profile poster?

From your profile, choose Create poster. Pick your albums or tracks, a theme, and whether to add a QR code that leads to your profile.

How is a profile poster different from a mixtape?

Both give you a poster to share. A profile poster shows your favorite albums or tracks and leads people to your profile. A mixtape poster shows a mixtape you made, and leads people to that mixtape so they can listen.

Discovery

How do I find new music?

Start with people. Browse curators to see what they’ve picked, dig through artists, genres and mixtapes, or search. Every album and track page shows who curated it and what else those people love. That’s often where you’ll find your next favorite.

Who decides what’s recommended?

People do. What you find on Soundprint comes from what people have chosen to put on their profiles, not from guesses about what you might like.

What do the hearts mean?

On artist and genre pages, the number next to the heart shows how many people curated that album or track. The most loved come first, so you can see what people really care about, not just what’s popular on streaming.

Your account

Can I change my username?

Yes, from the Profile tab in your editor. Your old link will stop working, and the old name becomes available to others.

Is my email address shown anywhere?

No. Your email is only used to sign you in and is never shown on your profile.

How do I delete my account?

From the Profile tab in your editor. Your profile, music and mixtapes are deleted right away.

How do I get help or report a profile?

What do you do with my data?

We don’t sell it and we don’t show ads. Read the Privacy Policy for the full details.
