Don't just store
your music.
Drop it.

Yes — PreDrop is a music-native file host designed specifically for sharing audio. Dropbox and Google Drive both work, but neither understands the file. Upload a WAV to PreDrop and within seconds it's analyzed for BPM, musical key (with Camelot notation), LUFS integrated loudness, true peak, and waveform — none of that exists in Dropbox or Drive. Share links are streamable inline (no download required), can expire on a schedule you control, and show recipients the cover art, BPM, key, and (on Pro) the Flight Score quality grade. Lossless formats — WAV, FLAC, AIFF — are first-class on PreDrop, and the recipient can listen but not re-share or delete the file.

Yes — PreDrop's Artist Pages are a Linktree alternative built specifically for musicians. Linktree is generic; nothing about it understands music. PreDrop's artist pages connect to your verified Spotify artist profile via the official API (not a pasted URL), auto-populate with your latest releases, can stream your tracks inline in lossless quality, and treat demo links and smart links as first-class link types alongside social platforms. Custom slugs are available on paid plans (predrop.io/your-artist-name), with drag-and-drop ordering and accent-colour theming. The page is mobile-first, fast, and indexable by Google with proper Person schema markup so search engines understand who you are. If you're a DJ or producer with a press kit and a release schedule, this is the link-in-bio page that actually knows what your work is.

A Magic Link is PreDrop's smart-URL feature — it routes a fan to the right streaming service automatically (Spotify on Android, Apple Music on iOS, Beatport for DJs, Tidal for audiophiles). The wedge versus Push.fm and Linkfire is the ISRC bridge. Most smart-URL services require pasting your release URL from each streaming platform individually. PreDrop uses the ISRC — the unique identifier embedded in every commercial release — as the universal bridge across Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, YouTube Music, and Tidal. One ISRC entry resolves to every major streaming platform automatically; when a new service launches and adopts ISRC, your existing Magic Links update without re-work. Magic Links live in the same library as your demos and master files, with consolidated analytics on click counts, country breakdowns, and platform routing.

No — PreDrop sits upstream of distribution, not in place of it. DistroKid, LANDR, Amuse, TuneCore, and Symphonic ingest your finished masters into Spotify, Apple Music, and the rest of the streaming ecosystem on your behalf. You'll continue using whichever distributor you currently use. PreDrop is where you live before, during, and after a release: hosting your masters and demos, running your artist page, planning your sets, sharing works-in-progress, and pitching unreleased material to labels. Once a release is live on streaming services via your distributor, PreDrop's Magic Links connect to it automatically through the ISRC, so a single PreDrop URL resolves to the version your distributor pushed out. The two tools are complementary — your distributor handles the streaming-service plumbing, PreDrop handles everything that surrounds it.

Flight Score is PreDrop's two-tier audio quality score, calculated automatically from every uploaded track. The General Score (5 components, weighted) measures release-readiness: loudness in LUFS, metadata completeness across 7 fields, file format (lossless preferred), sample rate, and copyright clearance. The Technical Score (4 components, weighted) measures audio engineering quality: true peak in dBTP, Loudness Range in LU, crest factor in dB, and stereo correlation. Each component is graded against an objective threshold drawn from streaming-platform specs and broadcast-engineering standards (EBU R128, ITU-R BS.1770). The overall Flight Score is the average of the two tiers on a 0-100 scale. A 90+ score means a track is release-ready. Lower scores include specific advice on which limiter setting, sample rate, or metadata field is dragging the number down. Full methodology at predrop.io/flight-score.

PreDrop supports lossless audio (WAV, FLAC, AIFF) as first-class formats and compressed audio (MP3) for general sharing. Lossless uploads are recommended for accurate Flight Score analysis and for pitching to record labels — most electronic-music labels and DJ pools require lossless source files for releases. AIFF uploads are automatically converted to WAV during processing for streaming compatibility. Maximum upload size is 250 MB per track across all plans (Free, Starter, Pro). Audio files are stored on Cloudflare R2, streamed via signed URLs that expire on a schedule you control, and never re-encoded for delivery — the recipient hears the exact bytes you uploaded. Metadata embedded in the file (ID3 tags, BPM, ISRC) is read on upload and used to populate your library automatically.

PreDrop offers three plans. The Free plan covers the lossless library, an artist page, basic Flight Score (General tier only), three copyright enrichments, and a starter quota of smart links and demo links — enough to evaluate the platform with real tracks. The Starter plan ($3.99/month) raises storage limits, unlocks the full Technical Score and Spectral Balance analysis, and increases enrichment credits to ten. The Pro plan ($7.99/month) is built for active artists with a release schedule: higher storage, thirty enrichment credits per month, more demo and smart links, custom slugs, and the full set of analytics. Annual pricing offers a discount over monthly. Compared to a four-tool stack covering the same surface (Dropbox + Linktree + Push.fm + spreadsheets), PreDrop typically saves 20-30 dollars per month.

Every track uploaded to PreDrop is analyzed in your browser before it's saved to your library. BPM detection uses an FFT-based onset-detection algorithm tuned for electronic music tempos (roughly 90-180 BPM), with a correction layer that catches common detection errors such as a 146 BPM track misidentified as 97 BPM in two-thirds time. Musical key detection uses chromagram analysis with the Krumhansl-Schmuckler key profile, returning both the standard notation (e.g. F# minor) and Camelot notation (e.g. 11A) used by DJs for harmonic mixing. Loudness measurements (LUFS, true peak, Loudness Range) follow the EBU R128 / ITU-R BS.1770 standards. All analysis runs locally via the Web Audio API and a WebAssembly-compiled audio toolkit — your file never leaves your device until you choose to share it. Results are stored alongside the track for instant lookup later.
