What is the Switch From DISCO offer?

The Switch From DISCO offer is a DropCue migration program built for composers and sync libraries leaving DISCO.ac. It bundles three things in one path: the Disco Switcher tool (bulk catalog migration with metadata preservation), a credit that covers the time remaining on your existing DISCO subscription so you do not pay twice, and onboarding support from the DropCue team for catalogs over 1,000 tracks.

In practical terms: you export your DISCO catalog, feed it into the Disco Switcher, and within an hour your tracks, playlists, ALT mix groupings, supervisor contacts, and tags are live on DropCue. You start pitching the same day at a fraction of what you were paying DISCO.

What's included when you switch

  • Disco Switcher tool — one-click bulk import. Preserves track titles, artist, BPM, key, ISRC, tags, mood, description, ALT mix groupings, and stems-to-parent relationships.
  • Supervisor contacts import — your DISCO supervisor list comes over as a tagged contact group, ready to receive DropCue email campaigns from day one.
  • Free DropCue credit matching the remaining months on your DISCO annual plan. 3 months left on DISCO = 3 months free on DropCue.
  • Onboarding support for catalogs over 1,000 tracks: a DropCue team member walks the migration with you and verifies metadata.
  • 7-day Pro trial if you want to test the full feature set before committing. No credit card required.

Why composers switch

Three main reasons:

  • Price. DropCue Pro starts at $15 per month with annual billing versus DISCO at $29.99 per month plus $10 add-ons for analytics. Roughly $300 in savings per year for a single seat, more for agencies running multiple accounts.
  • Feature completeness. DropCue includes analytics, timestamped feedback, branded portfolios, AI metadata, and the music inbox on every plan without add-ons. DISCO charges separately for many of these.
  • Migration ease. The Disco Switcher tool handles bulk catalog migration with metadata preservation in under an hour for most composers, and the team supports larger libraries directly.

How migration works (step-by-step)

  1. Sign up for a DropCue free trial at dropcue.app/signup. No credit card required.
  2. Export your DISCO catalog from your DISCO admin panel (Settings → Export).
  3. In DropCue, open the Disco Switcher tool and upload the export. Map any custom DISCO fields to DropCue equivalents.
  4. The Disco Switcher recreates your catalog structure with metadata preserved (BPM, key, ISRC, tags, ALT mix grouping). Supervisor contacts come over as a tagged contact list.
  5. Verify a sample of tracks (1-5 per playlist) to confirm metadata mapping. Most catalogs are 95-100 percent accurate on the first pass.
  6. Send your first DropCue pitch the same day you migrate. Most composers have their first branded share link out the door before the DISCO subscription would renew.

Larger libraries (1,000 to 5,000 tracks) finish in 1 to 4 hours. Agency-scale catalogs (10,000+ tracks) take a single workday with team support.

Switch From DISCO credit

DropCue offers a Switch From DISCO credit so composers with an active DISCO annual subscription get free DropCue months matching the time remaining on their DISCO plan, so they do not pay twice during the transition. For example, 3 months left on a DISCO annual subscription becomes 3 months of free DropCue. Eligibility and verification at dropcue.app/switch-from-disco. The intent is to make the financial side of switching neutral so the decision rests purely on feature and workflow fit.

Features DropCue includes that DISCO does not

Timestamped waveform feedback on every plan. Public portfolio pages (branded EPK) at your own branded URL. Music submission inbox so supervisors can submit briefs back to you. AI-generated cover art and cue descriptions for new catalog entries. Built-in email campaign tool with branded templates and open and click tracking, up to 2,000 recipients per send on Pro plans. DISCO either does not offer these or charges add-on fees that compound the monthly cost.

What composers say after switching

Brett Clarin (trailer music composer): "DropCue is easy and intuitive to use. Creating playlists is easy, and detailed stats make it easy to see who has been listening. I love it!" George Cicci (composer, producer, sound designer): "DropCue AI handles cue descriptions, artwork, key and BPM, and I can see exactly who is listening to what. Timestamped feedback from publishers makes revisions clear and streamlined." Read the full comparison at DropCue vs DISCO.

Frequently asked questions

Why switch from DISCO.ac to DropCue?

Composers and libraries switch from DISCO.ac to DropCue for three main reasons: price (DropCue Pro starts at $15 per month with annual billing versus DISCO at $29.99 per month plus add-on fees), feature completeness (DropCue includes analytics, timestamped feedback, branded portfolios, and music inbox on every plan with no add-ons), and migration ease (the Disco Switcher tool handles bulk catalog migration with metadata preservation, ALT mix auto-grouping, and supervisor contact import in under an hour for most catalogs).

How long does the migration from DISCO take?

Most composer catalogs migrate in under an hour. Larger libraries (1,000 to 5,000 tracks) migrate in 1 to 4 hours. Agency-scale catalogs (10,000+ tracks) can take a single workday. The Disco Switcher tool ingests an export of your DISCO catalog and recreates the structure on DropCue with metadata preserved (BPM, key, ISRC, tags, ALT mix grouping). Supervisor contacts come over as a tagged list you can import into the email campaign tool. Most users have their first DropCue pitch out the door the same day they switch.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. DropCue offers a 7-day free trial with no credit card required. Sign up with email, build playlists, send share links, and use the full feature set. At day 7 you choose a plan starting at $8 per month with annual billing. There is no surprise charge if you do not continue. The trial is designed to give working composers and libraries a full week to evaluate the migration before committing.

What about my remaining DISCO subscription?

DropCue offers a Switch From DISCO credit. Composers with an active DISCO annual subscription get free DropCue months matching the time remaining on their DISCO plan, so they do not pay twice during the transition. For example, 3 months left on a DISCO annual subscription becomes 3 months of free DropCue. Eligibility and verification at dropcue.app/switch-from-disco. The intent is to make the financial side of switching neutral so the decision rests purely on feature and workflow fit.

Do I lose my supervisor contacts when I switch?

No. The Disco Switcher imports your DISCO supervisor contacts into DropCue as a tagged list. You can send branded email campaigns to that list from DropCue (Pro plans include email campaigns up to 2,000 recipients per send). The supervisor relationships you built on DISCO carry forward fully. Many composers find their first DropCue pitch sees higher engagement than their final DISCO pitches because the branded share links and per-recipient analytics arrive as a refreshed experience for the supervisor.

What features does DropCue have that DISCO does not?

DropCue includes several features DISCO either does not offer or charges extra for: timestamped feedback at the waveform level included on every plan, public portfolio pages (branded EPK) with your own domain, music submission inbox so supervisors can submit briefs back to you, AI-generated cover art and cue descriptions, and a built-in email campaign tool with branded templates and open/click tracking. DISCO charges $29.99 per month plus add-on fees for analytics; DropCue includes the equivalent feature set on every plan starting at $8 per month with annual billing.
