Once a playlist is built, you can use the Presentation tab to turn it into a polished destination for listening, pitching, promotion, or review.

This is where you shape how the playlist looks, what information appears around the files, and how professionally the whole package is presented. Depending on your goal, a presentation can be a simple branded playlist, an Artist Page, an Album Page, or the foundation of an EPK.

In this article

You’ll learn how to:

• choose the right presentation style
• customize a Default playlist with messages and branding
• create Artist Pages and Album Pages
• add bio, social links, and video
• manage the presentation settings that shape the recipient’s experience
• troubleshoot a few common setup issues

Start with a saved playlist

Before you can customize how a playlist looks, it needs to be saved.

Once a playlist is saved, open the Presentation tab to choose a layout and begin shaping how the files will be presented to recipients.

This is useful when you want to do more than simply send files. A polished presentation can help you pitch music, introduce an artist, deliver an album, or package media into one clear destination.

Choose the right presentation style

DISCO offers three main presentation styles:

• Default playlist
• Artist Page
• Album Page

Each one is suited to a different kind of workflow.

Use the Default playlist for simple, polished sharing

The Default playlist keeps the focus on the tracklist and is best for general sharing, pitching, and curated file delivery.

Use this when you want a clean presentation of files, with the option to add extra context and branding.

‍

Add a playlist message

A playlist message is embedded directly into the playlist page and is separate from any email you send.

This is a good place to add context such as:

• a listening note
• a press release
• background on the playlist
• instructions for the recipient

Messages support formatting and hyperlinks, making them useful for both creative and professional communication.

Add branding with themes

Themes let you customize the visual design of a Default playlist.

You can add:

• background images
• logo images
• brand colors

‍

This helps make the playlist feel more polished and aligned with your artist, company, client, or project. You can also reuse previous themes and set a default theme for future playlists.

Use an Artist Page to present an artist or composer reel

The Artist Page is designed for presenting an artist in a richer, more public-facing way.

Use this when you want to combine music with artist imagery, bio, social links, and video to create a fuller artist presentation.

Link an Artist Profile

Artist Pages use an Artist Profile to populate information such as the artist image, bio, and social links.

When you link an Artist Profile, DISCO can pull this information into the page automatically. This helps you build pages faster and keep artist information more consistent across DISCO.

You can manage Artist Profiles from the Artists area under Browse.

Add images, bio, and social links

Once an Artist Profile is linked, you can review and adjust the presentation details.

This can include:

• a hero image
• artist bio
• social links

These elements help give the page more context and make it feel more complete for industry contacts, collaborators, or press.

Add video

You can also embed video from YouTube, Vimeo, or uploaded video files in DISCO.

This is especially useful when you want the page to act as a more complete introduction to the artist.

‍

Use an Album Page to present a release

The Album Page is similar to the Artist Page, but adds album-specific context such as album art, album title, and release date.

Use this when you are presenting a release, album campaign, or EPK-style package.

Add album-specific information

An Album Page allows you to include:

• album art
• release date
• hero image
• release notes
• album story or campaign information
• social links
• embedded video

This helps turn the playlist into a stronger release-focused presentation rather than just a list of files.

Adjust the presentation settings

The Presentation tab also includes settings that shape how much information appears around the files.

Depending on the playlist and template, you can choose to show things like:

• lyrics
• your business logo
• your contact information
• save or download options

These settings help you decide how much information and functionality you want the recipient to have.

Use presentation to support real workflows

DISCO's presentation tools are most useful when you think about the job they are helping you do.

For example, you might use them to:

• pitch to a sync opportunity in a more polished way
• create an Artist Page for sharing with industry contacts
• build an Album Page for an new release campaign
• package music, images, video, and documents into an EPK
• create a more branded listening experience for clients or collaborators

Instead of just sending files, you are shaping how someone experiences them.

Troubleshoot common setup issues

A few common issues are worth keeping in mind.

If the Save button is unavailable on a page layout, check whether an Artist Profile needs to be linked first.

If a page is using pre-filled artist information, review the image, bio, and social links before sharing to make sure they are current.

If an embedded video appears blank on the public page, confirm that you copied the video URL from the browser address bar and not the platform’s share link.

Wrap up

DISCO’s presentation tools help you turn playlists into polished, professional destinations for listening, pitching, promotion, and review.

Whether you use a Default playlist, Artist Page, or Album Page, the Presentation tab gives you a flexible way to add context, branding, and media around your files so the whole package feels clearer and more compelling.
