Slots
| Tier | Tracks |
|---|---|
| Free | 1 track. |
| Premium | Up to 5 tracks, with skip controls on the player. |
Reorder tracks (the ↑ / ↓ arrows)
Each track row has ↑ and ↓ buttons next to Remove. Tap them to move that track up or down in the list. There is no drag-and-drop — use the arrows. Track 1 (top) is the default starting song; the player walks down the list from there. In the screenshot above the third row’s ↑ is enabled and the first row’s ↑ is disabled (greyed out) because it’s already at the top — same for the last row’s ↓.Per-track start offset
Each row has a Start at field (mm:ss or seconds, e.g. 0:30, 45). Leave empty to start from the beginning. Useful for skipping intros.
Shuffle (Premium)
When you have at least two tracks and you’re on Premium, the First track (visitor) section unlocks. Tick Shuffle tracks (random first track and order) to randomise the starting track on every visit and shuffle the rest of the queue:
Country rules — pick a starting track per country (Premium)
Click Add country rule to add a row. Each rule is Country (dropdown of every ISO country) + Play first (which track number plays first for visitors from that country). Visitors from a listed country always hear that track first; everyone else falls back to shuffle (if on) or Track 1.
Music bar (the on-page player)
After at least one track is uploaded, the Music bar (public player) section unlocks. The real toggles are:| Toggle | What it does |
|---|---|
| Hide bar (audio still plays) | The bar is invisible to visitors but the song still plays. |
| Inside profile card | Music bar lives inside the card frame instead of at the bottom of the page. Mutually exclusive with Below card. |
| Below card (separate strip, spaced) | A separate strip beneath the card, with a small gap. Mutually exclusive with Inside profile card. |
Music bar panel (the bar’s chrome)
Below the placement toggles, Music bar panel picks the fill behind the controls:| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
| Site default | Match the profile card panel — bar reuses the same glass and tint. |
| Solid | Fully opaque dark panel. |
| Glass | Frosted, semi-transparent. |
| Transparent | No panel fill — the controls float on the page background. Premium-only. |
Music bar blur (Premium)
Opt-in checkbox + slider,0–50 px. Override the panel’s baked-in blur. Only visible on glass / transparent music bar panels.
Tips
- Pair a splash screen with music. The visitor’s tap on the splash counts as the interaction browsers need to allow audio.
- Loud tracks sound much louder than the visitor expects. Normalize your tracks before upload.
- For Premium playlists, group songs by mood — there’s no per-track crossfade.
Common questions
Music doesn't autoplay
Music doesn't autoplay
See the dedicated page: Audio won’t autoplay. Adding a splash is the most reliable fix.
Where do I get free, legal music?
Where do I get free, legal music?
YouTube Audio Library, Free Music Archive, or buy a track on Bandcamp / royalty-free libraries. Don’t upload songs you don’t have rights to — DMCA takedowns can suspend your profile.
My MP3 won't upload
My MP3 won't upload
Check the file is under 8 MiB and is one of MP3 / OGG / WAV / M4A. FLAC is rejected — re-encode it as 192 kbps MP3.
Can I use a Spotify / SoundCloud link instead of uploading?
Can I use a Spotify / SoundCloud link instead of uploading?
Not as background music. You can show a Spotify / SoundCloud embed in a widget — but the embed has its own play button, not autoplay.
How do I drag tracks to reorder them?
How do I drag tracks to reorder them?
The dashboard uses ↑ / ↓ arrow buttons on each track row, not drag-and-drop.
