Watch: Music library software: brief composers and track every album (1:44)
Follow one library album from brief to release in DropCue: plan it as a project, send one brief link to your roster, review submissions as a team, send revision notes, move accepted tracks into the album, and see every album on one board.

From the plan to a finished album.

  1. Plan the album. On Studio, start a project in Project Planner with its title, brief, due date and tracks.
  2. Send the brief. New inbox on the project fills in the title, brief and due date. Share the link, or on Studio send it to your roster.
  3. Review as a team. Play every track beside the list, pin notes to a moment, rate it and ask for revisions.
  4. Approve the keepers. Approved tracks land on the linked project. On any plan, add them to your library, a playlist or an album.

Plan every album first. See what is late.

Start each album in Project Planner with its catalog code, brief, due date and tracks, and set the deliverables each track needs. The board shows every album at once, and overdue tracks are counted at the top. Project Planner is part of Studio.

Watch: Project Planner: cues, deliverables and deadlines (1:25)
Plan every music job in one place. The DropCue Project Planner keeps your cues, deliverables, brief, agreements, deliveries and to-dos together, then shows every project on one board from planning to invoiced.

One link for every composer. Every track in one list.

On Studio, New inbox on a project makes an upload link already filled in with its title, brief and due date, and Send to roster emails it to your composers. On any plan, share an inbox link anywhere. Composers upload without an account, and every track lands in one list you can search, sort and filter by status.

Collect tracks from every composer with one link. Review each track beside the list, pin notes to exact moments, rate with your team, send feedback, and add the best tracks to your library, a playlist or an album.

On a computer, click a track and the review panel opens beside the list. Pin feedback to the exact second, rate it and mark a favorite, and Standings ranks the best. Mark a track Needs Revision and Send feedback emails the composer your notes. On Studio, accept it in an inbox linked to the album and it lands on the album as Approved.

Common questions from music libraries

Does DropCue work for any kind of music library?

Yes. Production music, trailer, sync, stock and royalty free libraries, boutique catalogs and music publishers all run on the same pieces: a project for each album, an upload link for each brief, team review with notes and ratings, statuses you can name after your own steps, and albums in your library. Every track keeps its writer and publisher splits with PRO and IPI. DropCue does not collect royalties for you.

Do composers need a DropCue account to submit?

No. They open your link, read the brief and upload. You choose how large one submission can be: up to 3 GB on Pro and up to 5 GB on Studio. Composers who are logged in to DropCue also see every track they sent you, with its status, under My Submissions.

Can my whole team review the same submissions?

Yes. Each reviewer rates a track under their own name with stars, a favorite and an optional note. Standings ranks every rated track by average stars, then favorites, and Export CSV takes the list with you. Reviewers work in the same DropCue account, and each browser remembers the last name used.

What does DropCue cost for a music library?
