For the purpose of this theme a \u201cRelease\u201d is not a track, but a COLLECTION of tracks, like an EP, an LP or a compilation.<\/strong> You can also create a single track release.
\n<\/strong>In this theme there is no possibility of creating a track \u201cby itself\u201d because actual releases are globally the way to organize the modern music market.<\/p>\n

How to create a Release manually:<\/h4>\n
    \n
  1. Login to your WordPress wp-admin<\/li>\n
  2. Click \u201cRelease > Add New\u201d<\/li>\n
  3. Fill in the\u00a0title and description<\/li>\n
  4. Insert the basic information for each track. You can add infinite tracks by clicking the \u201cAdd Another\u201d button.<\/li>\n
  5. For each track, compile the Authors field. Note that authors will be automatically linked to the Artists pages that has the same title as a track\u2019s author.<\/strong>\u00a0Carefully check for any\u00a0typo\u2019s that will create a mismatch, if the author is correctly spelt, the theme won\u2019t be able to sync to your intended\u00a0author.<\/strong> This author name is also needed to create the author\u2019s page, the list of the releases where he\/she have their\u00a0tracks listed.<\/li>\n
  6. For each track you can upload an\u00a0MP3. Optionally, you can fill the field with an direct\u00a0mp3 URL.<\/li>\n
  7. IMPORTANT NOTICE:<\/strong> on the web, it\u2019s impossible to prevent something to be stolen, because there is always the way to reach a content if it is published. To prevent your tracks to be stolen, never upload full quality 100% long tracks.<\/li>\n
  8. You can upload an edited preview at 128 k (or 96 k) or you can upload watermarked audio previews (like audiojungle does).<\/li>\n
  9. Track buy link: add the URL of any external shop, or use the numeric ID of a product to directly add the track to the cart.<\/li>\n
  10. Multiple buy links: you can add unlimited links to external shops like iTunes, Beatport or Juno, or add the numeric ID of an existing Woocomemrce product to directly add it to the cart.<\/li>\n
  11. Soundcloud \/ Youtube URL: to add the player of an external service, use the URL with a matching protocol. ie. if your site uses SSL, use https with Youtube or Soundcloud.<\/li>\n
  12. Uplaod a featured image (squared and measuring at least 2000px width for a good result).<\/li>\n
  13. Save, publish and verify your release. Any track can be played clicking the play button.<\/li>\n
  14. Any track is automatically added to the playlist of the player.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
