700+ record labels, publishers, ad agencies and music houses, with the page each one publishes for receiving music. Most of them have no public email, just a form. Send through it and you normally learn nothing. Here you learn who listened.
Start free trial →You find a label worth pitching. There is no email address, just a form. You paste a link, write a note, press send, and that is the last you ever hear about it. Did anyone open it? Did they play one track or all six? Was it worth following up? Send the same link to twelve companies and it gets worse: twelve plays arrive and every one of them is anonymous. You cannot tell the label that listened three times from the eleven that never opened it.
Not just record labels. The people who put music into films, campaigns and catalogues are spread across five kinds of company, and most composers only ever pitch one of them: 170+ music publishers and sub-publishers, 160+ record labels from single-genre boutiques to catalogues with global distribution, 150+ advertising agencies who license music for campaigns, 140+ film, TV and content production companies, and 60+ bespoke music houses who commission writers and licence catalogue. Across 37 countries, filterable by country and type. Trailer houses are deliberately excluded.
Filter over 700 record labels, publishers, ad agencies and music houses by type and country. Each listing shows the company name, type, location, website and a short description taken from the company’s own site, plus the page it publishes for receiving music where such a page exists. Trailer houses are excluded on purpose.
Pick companies, choose one of your playlists or build a new one, and send. DropCue creates one share and a separate tracked link per company, identical except for a tag identifying who it went to. Paste that link into a company’s contact form by hand and the attribution still holds, because the link was never generic in the first place.
Plays and downloads are recorded against the company that opened them rather than lumped into one anonymous total. Six plays from one label is a conversation. Six plays from six labels is a different one, and until now you could not tell them apart.
Every company you send to becomes a card on your Pitch Pipeline. When one of them plays your music, their card moves from Pitched to Engaged on its own, so the companies worth chasing surface without you logging anything. Your links, your message and a tick per company wait under Pipeline then Sends, because twenty contact forms is not one sitting’s work.
We do not say a company is accepting demos, because a submission page can sit up for years after a label stops reading it. We do not hold personal email addresses, because scraping named individuals is how a directory becomes a privacy problem. And no tool makes anyone say yes. What changes is where you spend the next month: on the companies that played it twice rather than the ones that never opened it.
Over 700 record labels, publishers, ad agencies, sync libraries and music houses across 37 countries. Each listing carries the company name, type, location, website, a short description taken from the company’s own site, and where one exists, the page they publish for receiving music. Trailer houses are deliberately excluded.
No, and that is deliberate. DropCue does not scrape or store personal email addresses for directory companies. What is linked is what a company publishes itself: a submission page or a contact page. The value DropCue adds is what happens after you use that page, because the playlist link you send through it is still tracked per company.
Because the link belongs to you, not to the form. When you send a playlist to twelve companies, DropCue creates one share and twelve recipient links that are identical except for a tag at the end identifying the company. Whoever opens a link identifies who opened it, however that link reached them. Paste it into a contact form by hand and a play still reports back as that company, rather than as one anonymous play among twelve.
No, and DropCue does not claim otherwise. Some companies publish a submission page, many publish only a general contact page, and some publish neither. The directory states which of those three a listing is, rather than badging companies as open to demos, because whether a company is reading submissions today is theirs to say and not something a directory can know.
Each company becomes a card on the DropCue Pitch Pipeline. A card moves from Pitched to Engaged automatically when that company plays the music, so follow-ups worth making surface without logging anything by hand. The list of tracked links, the message you wrote once, and a tick per company stay under Pipeline then Sends, so a batch of twenty contact forms can be worked through over several days.
The Label Directory and the Pitch Pipeline are part of the Business Suite on the DropCue Studio plan, which starts at $29 per month billed annually. Studio includes everything in Pro plus the full Business Suite and DropCue University.
