What is AI Music Organizer?
For AI music creators
AI Music Organizer is your central workspace for AI-generated music (e.g. from Suno, Mureka, ElevenMusic, Google Flow Music or Udio). You manage prompts, lyrics, audio files, covers and metadata here — all in one place, from the first idea to the finished release.
Albums & Songs
Songs are grouped into albums. An album shares the release date and style library (for covers) with all its songs. You can also create songs without an album.
The basic workflow
Create song → Create prompt → Write lyrics → Upload audio → Generate cover → Confirm release → Publish. Song status guides you through the important completion and release steps.
Your benefits
Everything in one place instead of scattered files and notes: no good prompt ever gets lost again, your songs are prepared release-ready for DistroKid, and AI features like mastering, cover generation and YouTube videos save you time and external tools. In the "Explore" area you listen to your entire music collection like your own streaming service — as a cover wall with filters for artist, genre, mood, album, rating or playlist. And with playlists and share links you can present your music to others anytime.
Give songs a personal rating
Use the five stars in the song overview to give a personal rating. Click the currently selected star again to remove the rating. Variants can be rated individually too. In the dashboard, sort by rating in either direction or filter for Unrated or a minimum of one to five stars. These stars are your own assessment, not an AI score, and do not change work status or song progress.
Creating your first song
New song
Click the "New Song" button in the left sidebar. A working title, genre and mood are enough to start — you can add everything else later.
Fields at a glance
Working title (internal for you), final title (appears in the release), genre, mood, BPM, key, artist name. The more you fill in, the better the AI features work (prompt and lyric generation).
Assign to album
Assign the song to an album so it appears in the tracklist and automatically inherits the release date and style library.
Mood category
From your mood input, the AI automatically determines one of nine fixed categories (e.g. Chilled, Energetic, Danceable, Melancholic). The category appears as a badge in the song overview and is the basis for the mood filter in the "Discover" section — so you find matching songs at a glance, even if your mood descriptions are worded differently.
Upload audio
Export your song from your AI music platform (e.g. Suno, Mureka, ElevenMusic, Google Flow Music) and upload it in the "Audio" tab. Supported formats are MP3, WAV, FLAC, OGG, M4A and AAC. After the upload, the Auto-Release-Ready process runs automatically: BPM & key are analyzed, genre/language/mood detected, lyrics cleaned up for release and a first cover draft created.
Upload one or more audio files
What this upload is for
On "Add song" you'll find the link to upload one or more audio files (/songs/import). There you upload audio files (MP3, WAV, FLAC, M4A) at once — via drag & drop, multi-select, or as a ZIP file. Up to 500 MB per file.
Automatic pre-check
Before uploading, the app checks every file: exact duplicates and songs with the same title and same length are skipped. Files with the same title but a different length are attached to the existing song as a variant. You see all classifications up front and can change each one.
Options for the whole batch
You confirm your rights once for the entire batch and choose between Quick Import and Complete setup. Quick Import is preselected for large batches: it creates the song and audio, measures BPM and key locally, but does not start AI analysis, lyrics transcription, or cover generation. Complete setup adds full song analysis, transcribes understandable vocals, and then creates a free quick cover without using cover credits. The first AI analysis of the primary audio file also fills empty instrumentation and reference style fields in the overview automatically. Existing values are preserved; empty fields do not need an extra manual adoption step.
Processing runs on the server
After upload, the server processes the batch in the selected mode. With Complete setup, progress remains visible until analysis, optional transcription, and the quick cover have finished. Instrumentals never receive invented lyrics, and variants are not analyzed or given an extra cover twice. Once the files have uploaded, you can close your browser: processing continues and progress reappears the next time you open the import page. Individual failures don't stop the batch, and you can cancel at any time (finished songs are kept).
Resume an interrupted upload
If the upload was interrupted before all files were transferred, reopen the import page and select the original local files again. The app matches them against your saved selection and resumes missing transfers; files already registered or imported are not created twice. Different files or files changed since the original selection are not accepted for this resume. Files already uploaded can continue processing on the server without selecting them locally again. For older interrupted batches without a safely stored file list, you can explicitly end the batch and start a new upload; songs already imported are kept.
Work status and required steps
When is a song done?
The work status panel shows four independent requirements: selected final audio, final lyrics or an instrumental selection, selected cover, and a successfully completed analysis matching the final audio version. A quick cover is sufficient. Prompts are optional. An analysis that is running, failed, or belongs to another audio version does not count.
Direct navigation
The required steps link to the relevant functions. Audio, lyrics or explicitly confirmed instrumental, cover, and a successful matching audio analysis each contribute 25% song progress. All four mean 100% prepared, even before you confirm completion. The dashboard then shows Complete with a full bar instead of work status and a percentage. Its hint says: Everything is prepared – confirm the song as done. Only your confirmation saves Done; the percentage and bar then disappear, while the Done label remains. Canceling changes nothing. Even at 100%, an unconfirmed song stays in its existing work status and filter. Release intent, publication, privacy, and archiving do not affect song progress. A newly created, untouched song starts as Idea; the first saved work step changes it to In progress. Done is never set automatically. If required information is later changed or removed, Done and 100% are preserved and a warning identifies the missing steps. Deliberately reopening the song as In progress restores progress based on its current requirements.
One-time release question
After you deliberately complete an individual song for the first time without release intent, the app asks once whether you want to earmark it for release. Earmarking, Not for now, and closing the dialog all permanently settle the question. Done remains saved. This question never appears on loading, importing, bulk actions, or for migrated existing songs.
Song status
How do I add missing analyses and covers?
In the dashboard, you can click "Start analyses" to run the full analysis for all songs that do not have one yet. Likewise, "Start quick covers" creates free quick covers for all songs without a cover. Both actions continue running in the background on the server — you can keep working or close the page while they run. Existing analyses and covers are never overwritten.
Status overview
Two separate fields show work status (Idea, In progress, Done) and publication (No release intended, Intended for release, Release planned, Published). Idea remains the starting status for a song you have not worked on yet. Saved work such as audio, lyrics, prompts, notes or changes to song information moves it to In progress. An import with audio is therefore no longer just an idea. You deliberately confirm Done; fully prepared songs are not completed automatically. Private and Archived are additional independent flags. Done means internal completion, not publication. Single, Album, and both remain available as publication types.
Filter in the dashboard
The dashboard remains the shared song overview. Songs without release intent stay visible, including completed songs. Filters narrow down work status and publication; bulk selection lets you earmark songs without individual dialogs. Release intent never changes share, radio, or playlist permissions.
Earmark and plan a release
You can earmark a song anytime, including an idea or a private song. Planning requires Done, currently complete required steps, a suitable cover, necessary release metadata and rights confirmations, and an actual date. A suitable quick cover is accepted. Album dates are inherited, but album membership without a date is not sufficient. Removing the effective song or album date changes Release planned back to Intended for release; a song date or album fallback keeps the plan. Work status and published songs remain unchanged. Marketing, music videos, and voluntary tasks do not block planning. A date never publishes automatically: explicitly confirm publication or record an existing publication. Canceling a plan never deletes actual release history or the shared album date.
Set release intent for existing songs
Songs previously marked Release ready become Done. Without an existing real plan or publication they receive No release intended. A one-time dashboard notice offers Select songs or Later. Select songs temporarily enables an existing-song filter and bulk selection in the same dashboard. Only explicitly selected songs that have not already been earmarked are changed. You can remove the filter again. Later or closing permanently dismisses only the notice, not a song's release decision. An action to set release intent for existing songs remains available while eligible songs remain.
Archive
Archived songs are hidden in the dashboard by default. You can show them again at any time via "Show archived" — they are never lost. Archived songs are also hidden by default in the Explore section — it has a "Show archived" button as well to display them. To make a song permanently visible again, unarchive it.
Private
Private is independent of work status, release intent, and archiving. A private song may also be done or intended for your own release. Set or undo Private and Archived from the three-dot menu.
A notice must be confirmed before making a song private. The song is then automatically removed only from playlists currently published in Artist Radio; it remains in regular playlists. An existing share link is deactivated. After removing Private, explicitly reactivate sharing if needed. Private songs cannot be included in public radio playlists. Release intent never enables sharing. Exporting a private song still requires explicit confirmation, and album exports show the corresponding warnings. Private songs remain visible in the dashboard and Explore unless you also archive them.
Managing prompts
Prompts tab
In the song detail under the "Prompts" tab you save all prompt versions you have tried in your AI music platform. Never lose a good prompt again.
Generate AI prompt
The "AI Prompt" button automatically creates an optimized prompt based on the title, genre and mood of your song — ready to use in your AI music platform (e.g. Suno, Mureka or ElevenMusic).
Reverse prompt from audio analysis
After a full audio analysis, the app automatically creates an editable Suno-style prompt and saves it in the "Prompts" tab. It is clearly organized into Genre, Influences, Instruments, Tempo, Mood and style, Key, Vocals and Language. You can review, edit and reuse the detected sound description directly. When you analyze the audio again, the automatic reverse prompt is updated instead of duplicated.
Compare versions
Create multiple prompt variants. This way you can always see later which prompt led to the final result.
Writing lyrics
Transcribe audio
Click "Transcribe" (microphone icon) in the "Lyrics" tab. The app listens to your uploaded audio and automatically converts speech or singing to text — perfect when the words haven't been typed out yet, e.g. for podcasts or spoken recordings. The text is automatically arranged into song form (lines and stanzas) — easier to read and the basis for clean karaoke text in videos. The result opens for review before you save it as a new version.
Generate AI draft
In the "Lyrics" tab you can generate a first draft via AI. The AI takes into account the title, genre, mood, theme, language and your reference style.
Manage versions
You can maintain multiple lyrics in parallel — e.g. different language versions or revisions. Mark one version as "Final" for the export.
Release lyrics & instrumental songs
"Release lyrics" is a clean copy without structure markers like [Chorus] or [Verse] — ready for DistroKid. If you later change the text of the primary version, the app asks whether the release lyrics should be recreated as well. This keeps the release export and karaoke subtitles in the YouTube video up to date. For purely instrumental songs you can mark the song as instrumental — then the Lyrics step in Song status is automatically counted as done.
Uploading audio
Upload audio file
In the "Audio" tab you upload your finished AI music exports (e.g. from Suno, Mureka, ElevenMusic, Google Flow Music or other platforms). Supported formats are MP3, WAV, FLAC, OGG, M4A and AAC — up to 500 MB per file. You can save multiple versions — e.g. different mastering variants.
Set primary file
Mark exactly one file as "Primary" — this is the version that gets packaged in the release export.
Listen directly
All uploaded files can be played directly in the app, without downloading.
Fade editor: edit the beginning and ending
Below the waveform, the "Fade editor" button sits alongside the other audio tools. Use its two separate markers to choose when the fade-out starts and where the song actually ends. A normal click on the waveform moves the playhead; the two markers can be moved independently. Choose a linear or a soft, musical fade curve and listen to the change immediately in the local preview.
"Apply edit" creates a separate edited audio version. The original and the master stay unchanged; without a master, the current original source is edited, while with a master, the current master source is edited. The active fade version is then used by the player and the other audio outputs. "Reset to original and close editor" removes the edit again.
WAV or MP3?
When you upload a WAV file, the app asks whether you want to keep the original or save it as MP3 (320 kbps). MP3 saves about 80% storage. If you plan to master the song later, keep the WAV or FLAC original when possible: converting before mastering can introduce additional quality loss. MP3 files can still be mastered safely.
AI Song Check: more reliable BPM & key detection
The AI Song Check now analyzes BPM and key directly from the audio file instead of just estimating them with AI.
For tempo, a beat tracking algorithm analyzes where the beats are in the audio signal and calculates the BPM from that. For the key, a so-called pitch class profile is created — in simple terms: it analyzes which notes appear most frequently and strongly in the song. From this, the best matching key in major or minor is determined.
This is a classic form of audio analysis, as also used in music and DJ software. The results are therefore more stable, more transparent and reproducible for the same file.
The creative assessment — style, mood, strengths, improvement suggestions, genre, language and instrumental detection — is still handled by the AI.
Found BPM and key values can be adopted into the song overview with one click. If you want to double-check or set the tempo manually, use the “Set tempo by hand” panel below the audio tools. Tap at least three times to the beat on either the hand icon or the “Tap” button. The calculated BPM value then appears; choose “Apply” to save it to the song overview.
By the way, the analysis keeps running in the background on the server: you can switch tabs, reload the page, or lock your device while it runs — the result appears automatically once it's ready.
How typical analysis errors are reduced
Pure audio analysis can go wrong in two typical pitfalls — both are specifically addressed in the AI Song Check.
1. Wrong tempo: double, half or 1.5x
A beat tracker can sometimes detect the tempo twice as fast, half as fast, or in a 1.5x ratio for swing/shuffle grooves — for example 156 instead of 78 BPM.
Therefore the tempo is checked with two independent methods and compared. If the results are in a typical ratio like 2x, 0.5x or 1.5x, the more plausible value is automatically chosen.
2. Major/minor confusion
Major and minor keys can share the same notes, for example E major and C# minor. This means an analysis can sometimes select the parallel key.
To reduce this, we compare multiple analysis models and use the result that the majority agrees on. This makes the key more stable to determine, even if individual models suggest an alternative parallel key.
Important to know:
For songs with tempo or key changes, very slow pieces under 60 BPM or very fast pieces over 180 BPM, a single overall value is still displayed. In such cases a quick manual check is worthwhile.
Song variants
What are variants?
A variant is an alternative version of a song — e.g. a slow version, acoustic version, instrumental, or a remix. Variants are full songs with their own audio, cover, lyrics, and status, but they stay linked to their original. This keeps your dashboard tidy: related versions are grouped as one family.
Create a variant
On the dashboard, open the three-dot menu of a song card and choose "Create variant". Give the variant a name (e.g. "Radio Edit") — this name is shown everywhere as its label. The variant starts as a new song that you fill with audio, cover, and everything else as usual. Note: demo songs cannot have variants.
Turn an existing song into a variant
Accidentally created two versions as separate songs? No problem: open the song's three-dot menu (on the dashboard or the song detail page) and choose "Assign as variant". Then pick the original song and enter a variant name. The song becomes a variant of the chosen original. Important: only standalone songs without variants of their own can be assigned — an original that already has variants cannot become a variant itself.
Switch between original and variants
On the song detail page a version bar appears at the top with the original and all variant names. One click switches directly to that version. The original is marked with a subtle ORIGINAL badge, and its label can be changed from the three-dot menu without changing its structural role. Below the bar, a "Variant of …" line shows which original a variant belongs to — with a link to the original.
Set the default
In the version bar, open a version’s menu and choose “Set as default” — including for the original. The default version then appears first and is marked with a subtle badge. If the original is also the default, one combined ORIGINAL · DEFAULT badge shows both roles. The default determines which title, cover, status, and progress represent the whole song family in the dashboard. The audio, covers, lyrics, playlists, share links, and exports of the individual versions remain unchanged.
Variants on the dashboard
On the dashboard, the song family is grouped on one card. The card shows the selected default version and opens that version directly. The expander (e.g. "2 variants") expands or collapses the other versions of all currently displayed song families together — including the original when a variant is the default. This works in both grid and list view; hidden families are unchanged. A new search or filter change automatically expands families with matching variants. You can then collapse them together again. Clearing the filters restores your previous unfiltered expansion choices. If the original is archived, the family still appears normally as long as a non-archived version is selected as the default.
Rename a variant or unlink it
On a variant's detail page (below the version bar) you can change the variant name anytime via the pencil icon. "Unlink" turns the variant back into a standalone song — no data is deleted, only the link to the original is removed. Both actions are also available in the dashboard's three-dot menu.
Project Files
What are project files?
In the "Project Files" tab you can link local files, project folders and external URLs directly to a song — for example your DAW project, stems, backing tracks or a Dropbox folder. Everything related stays in one place.
Link a local file
Click "Add" → "Link local file". Your browser opens a file picker. The file itself is never uploaded — only a browser-level link is stored. This link only works on the device and browser where you set it up. Note: requires a browser with File System Access support (Chrome, Edge). Brave is Chromium-based but deliberately disables this feature for privacy reasons — you can enable it manually: open brave://flags, search for 'File System Access API', set it to 'Enabled' and restart Brave. Firefox and Safari do not support it.
Link a local project folder
"Link project folder" lets you associate a whole folder — e.g. your Logic or Ableton project. Use the "Browse folder contents" expander to see all files in the folder root. No uploads: only a local browser link is stored.
Add an external link
"Add external link" links an HTTPS URL — e.g. a Dropbox folder, a Google Drive document, a YouTube reference or a OneDrive link. External links work in all browsers and on all devices.
Re-link on a new device
If you switch browser or device, a local link won't be there yet. You'll see the badge "Not linked on this device". Choose "Link on this device" from the menu and pick the file or folder again.
AI Mastering
Listen to the mastering preview and save a version
After uploading audio, you first start a mastering preview. Fino calculates three loudness levels — Low (−14 LUFS), Medium (−11 LUFS) and High (−9 LUFS) — which you can compare directly with the original. Listen to the variants, choose the right level and only then save your finished release master. If you notice something during comparison, select “Refine preview with Fino”: Fino knows which level is selected and was last played, asks follow-up questions when useful, and creates new variants after you approve the proposal. No additional credit is reserved for this; the one credit is only used when you save. Before each preview, the unchanged source is analysed at multiple points. Tonal corrections are only applied when bass, low mids, presence or highs are measurably unbalanced; a balanced or inconclusive source keeps a neutral EQ. Loudness, dynamics and true peak are still adjusted safely. A WAV or FLAC original gives the best quality, but MP3 mastering remains available.
Reading the mastering summary and details
After applying a master, a short, easy-to-understand summary appears below the player. Select “Show details” to open the measurements behind it. “Source analysis” describes only the unchanged input file; “Applied mastering” instead shows the selected level, the settings actually used and the finally measured master file. This keeps measured properties separate from active processing steps. Preview values are not treated as final result values.
Understanding loudness and true peak
Original loudness shows how loud the source was perceived on average. Target loudness belongs to the selected level (Low −14, Medium −11 or High −9 LUFS); “Actually reached” comes from the finished master file after the final verification. A small difference from the target is normal — the defined tolerance is ±0.5 LU. Final true peak shows the highest peak level. It is limited with safety headroom so conversion to streaming formats is less likely to introduce distortion.
Interpreting dynamics and compression
LRA describes the range of loudness within a song. When values are available, source dynamics and master dynamics are shown separately so you can compare the change directly. The compression ratio is also classified as “very gentle”, “gentle”, “moderate” or “stronger”. It describes the setting that was used, but by itself does not prove a clear reduction in dynamics: if source and master LRA remain similar, the app therefore does not claim strong dynamics reduction. Individual measurements are also not a general verdict on whether a song sounds good or bad.
Spectral balance and EQ corrections
The source analysis describes bass, low mids, presence and highs in clear language. Applied corrections show the active sub-bass filter and — where needed — changes to the bass range, low mids at 250 Hz, presence at 3.5 kHz and highs at 13 kHz. “No correction” means that the range was balanced or not clearly different; it is not an analysis failure. Very small values from −0.1 through +0.1 dB are intentionally treated as unchanged in the display.
Mixed genres in mastering
When several matching genres are entered, the first one is used as the main character; additional genres only have a supporting influence. With “Pop-Rock-Ballad”, for example, Pop leads while Rock only contributes. If you explicitly want the full Rock treatment, choose “Rock” as the genre. If no genre is entered or “Unknown” is selected, the neutral standard treatment is used: no genre coloration is added, and the EQ is derived exclusively from the audio analysis. The genre does not apply fixed EQ values, but mainly influences the character, compression and maximum strength of necessary corrections.
Re-master with the AI mastering engineer
When re-mastering, you can choose the AI mastering engineer and freely describe what bothers you about the current master or what feels missing. It asks follow-up questions when useful, translates everyday descriptions such as “the vocal is sibilant” or “the low end lacks weight” into professional goals, and shows a concrete proposal before rendering. New loudness previews are only created after you approve it. Fino also advises on loudness: if a song feels too loud or too quiet, it first recommends one of the existing −14/−11/−9 LUFS previews. Nothing needs to be rendered again and no additional credit is needed. If the current master was already refined with Fino, Fino uses the actually applied values from the mastering details as the starting point — for example, de-essing +0.12. For requests such as “more” or “less”, Fino explains the previous value and the new target value. The new proposal always contains complete, safe target values because the preview is rendered again from the original. Your listening goal is always checked against source analysis and safety limits, so a risky or contradictory request may be applied more cautiously or declined with an explanation. Processing works on the finished stereo mix: vocals and cymbals cannot be fully separated.
Why details may be unavailable
Specific detail values are only shown when they can be clearly linked to the current source and the finally stored master file. Older masters remain fully usable and continue to show their existing summary, but no numbers are estimated afterwards. Re-mastering replaces the details; changing the source or deleting the master discards details that no longer match.
20 masterings per month included
The subscription includes 20 AI masterings per month free of charge. The quota resets on the 1st of each month. Unused masterings expire — they are not carried over to the next month. One exception: if you subscribe at the end of your trial, your unused trial quota is carried over once as permanent credit.
Listen to result and export
The mastered audio appears directly with the primary song file. You can conveniently compare original and master. The release export automatically includes both versions — the original as _ORIGINAL and the master as _MASTER — you don't need to set anything extra. (Without mastering, the export contains only the final file with the _FINAL suffix.)
Generating covers
Create AI cover
In the "Cover" tab you choose an AI model (OpenAI DALL-E, Gemini Flash or Gemini Pro) and enter an image prompt. The "AI suggestion" button automatically suggests a fitting prompt based on your song. 50 AI cover generations per month are included (song and album covers combined) — additional credits can be booked as a one-time purchase at any time. Uploading your own images is unlimited.
Quick cover (free, no AI)
Besides AI generation there is a "Quick cover" button: it instantly creates a cover design from the title, artist name, and genre — no AI and no credits needed. The genre sets the visual style (e.g. a neon look for electronic music, soft gradients for ballads), and "Reroll" gives you as many variations as you like. On the dashboard you can also create quick covers for all songs that have no cover yet with one click — existing covers are never overwritten.
How cover credits expire
You receive 50 new cover credits every month. On the 1st of each month, your monthly quota is reset to 50. Unused monthly credits are not carried over to the next month.
Purchased credits, on the other hand, do not expire. They are only used once your 50 monthly included credits are used up. As long as you stay within your monthly quota, your purchased balance remains fully intact.
Exception at your first subscription: unused cover credits from your trial are carried over once as permanent credit. These credits do not expire and are treated like purchased credits from then on.
Upload your own image
Instead of AI generation you can also upload your own image — e.g. if you created the cover externally or want to use a photo.
AI labelling for uploaded covers
After uploading your own image, the app asks you two short questions: Was the image created or edited with AI? And does it show a real, recognizable person? You also confirm that you own the rights to the image. Why this is necessary: the EU AI Act (Art. 50) requires AI-generated or AI-edited images to be labelled as such whenever they are shown publicly. For covers generated directly in the app, this is known automatically — for uploaded images, the app cannot know and therefore has to ask you. Your answers determine whether the “CD Cover AI-generated” badge is shown on your public share page. You can skip the questions at first — but they must be answered before the song can be shared.
Style library & gallery
When your song is assigned to an album, the cover generator can incorporate the album's style library — for a consistent look. Generate multiple variants and set the best result as the primary image. Only the primary image is used in the release export.
Generate CD jewelcases
For each album you can generate a realistic CD jewelcase mockup — a 3D preview with your album cover, perfect for social media or your website.
Content rules for AI covers
Certain content must not be depicted on AI-generated covers: real people (e.g. celebrities or politicians — your own uploaded reference photos are the exception), copyrighted characters, brand mascots, logos, and well-known franchise designs (e.g. famous comic or movie characters), as well as sexual or violence-glorifying content. Generic descriptions remain allowed — e.g. "a superhero with a red cape" or style comparisons like "in a watercolor style". If an instruction is rejected, it happens before generation: no cover credit is consumed. Simply rephrase the instruction in more generic terms.
Generate YouTube video
Create a video from your song
In the "Publish" tab you can generate a finished YouTube video from your song and cover. The app uses your primary cover as the background and plays your song over it — ideal as a teaser for your release. Important: Keep the browser tab open while the video is being created — it can stay in the background, but closing it will interrupt the creation.
Stored & downloadable
The generated video stays saved in your account until you delete it yourself. You can download it anytime and upload it directly to YouTube. It is also automatically included in the release export. Optionally, you can enable karaoke subtitles when generating — the lyrics are then highlighted word by word in sync with the video.
Release checklist
What is checked?
The checklist contains all the important points for a clean release: final audio file chosen, lyrics done, cover available, metadata complete, no third-party samples, DistroKid data prepared — and more.
Automatic entries
Some items are automatically checked off as soon as you complete the action — e.g. "Release date set" (via the album or a release date planned directly on the song), "Primary audio available" or "Cover selected".
Required details and voluntary tasks
Work completion and release planning are checked separately. Done requires the four items in the work status panel. Release planned additionally requires a release-suitable cover, necessary metadata and rights confirmations, and an actual release date. Voluntary tasks such as marketing or a music video remain optional. Checking every checklist item never automatically completes a song. Missing details after an edit produce a warning, not an automatic downgrade; only removing the effective release date changes Release planned back to Intended for release.
Managing albums
Create album
Under "Albums" in the menu you create a new album. Title and optionally a planned release date — that's it.
Sort tracklist
Within the album you can arrange songs in the desired order by drag-and-drop.
Style library
Add style references (images or text descriptions) to the style library. These are available in the cover generator for all songs in the album — keeping the visual presentation consistent.
Discovering songs
How do I listen to and find songs?
In grid and list view, use the cover to start or pause songs, including expanded variants. On desktop, the Play button appears when hovering over the cover or focusing it with the keyboard. On phones, a small icon in the bottom-right corner indicates playback; tap anywhere on the cover. Songs without playable audio have no active Play button. The player stays open at the bottom; Next and Previous follow the visible, filtered song order. Clicking the song title still opens its details. When you return from there, your search, filters, expanded variants and position in the overview are restored; the last opened song is briefly highlighted. Scrolling down reveals a compact search bar with a result count and access to filters. It uses the same search as the field at the top.
What is Discover?
Under the "Discover" menu item you see all songs with audio as a cover wall — perfect for browsing and listening without opening each song individually.
How do I find songs with the AI filter?
At the top of the song overview (dashboard) there is an AI filter field with a sparkle icon: describe in natural language which songs you want to see (e.g. "techno around 130 BPM, rather dark", "female vocals with synthesizer" or "songs with a quick cover"). The AI turns this into filters for genre, mood, BPM, key, language, voice type, instrumental or with lyrics, audio-analysis characteristics, "no cover", "primary audio only", "quick cover" or "not mastered". "With lyrics" means songs not marked instrumental with saved, non-blank lyrics. "Unknown vocal status" finds songs neither marked instrumental nor having non-blank lyrics. For free-form musical details that have no matches in the overview, saved analyses of primary audio files and song prompts are also searched. Explicitly asking for a term "in the prompt" or "in the analysis" searches only that source directly. Other criteria such as BPM, genre and album still apply. "Live" means a textual mention of a live recording, not the "published" release status. Matches are evidence from saved text, not proof that something is actually audible in the recording; no new per-song analysis is started. Remove the search with its chip; it is restored from the URL after a reload or returning from a song. Lyrics, theme and duplicate audio/lyrics searches remain separate. Recognized criteria appear as individually removable chips; anything that can't be mapped is briefly listed. This does not search arbitrary titles or other free-text fields. Optionally, you can create a playlist from the filtered songs with one click.
Play directly
Clicking on a cover starts playback directly in the tile. After a song ends, the next song in your current selection plays automatically.
Filter by artist, genre, mood & album
Using the dropdowns at the top you can filter by artist, genre, mood category and album — including multiple filters at once. “No album” finds songs that have not been assigned to an album yet; combined with an artist it shows only that artist’s matching songs. You can describe the same request in your own words in the AI filter, for example “Kay Renox songs without an album”. The AI determines the mood category automatically based on the content in your song's mood field.
Select songs for a playlist
In "Discover", click "Playlist". Then choose "Create new playlist" or "Existing playlist". Select the songs you want using the checkboxes — clicking a cover still plays the song. Songs already included in the target playlist are hidden. The fixed bar at the bottom shows the count; use "Cancel" to stop or "Done" to confirm your selection.
Filter by personal rating
The "Rating" filter uses the stars you have already assigned: choose "All ratings", "Unrated", or a minimum of one to five stars. "At least 4 stars", for example, includes songs with four or five stars. Combine it with artist, genre, mood, album and playlist filters, and remove it using its filter chip. Stars are not displayed on the covers.
Playlists
What are playlists?
Playlists are freely assembled song collections — independent of albums. You can group songs from different albums or without album assignment into one playlist, for example for mood mixes or thematic compilations.
Create a playlist
Click on "Playlists" in the sidebar. There you will find the "New Playlist" button. Enter a name — done. You can create as many playlists as you like at any time.
Add songs to a playlist
You add songs via the "Explore" area: click the "Playlist" button there, select one or more songs, then click "Add to playlist" and pick the playlist you want. If a playlist is empty, the "Go to Explore" button takes you straight there. You can remove a song at any time inside the playlist itself using the remove icon.
Edit and delete playlists
You can rename a playlist at any time using the edit icon. In the detail view, you can also add custom text for Artist Radio. It takes priority over the AI verdict; when left empty, the AI text is used automatically. Via the menu you can also delete a playlist — the songs themselves remain unchanged.
Create your first Artist Radio
The detailed instructions are in the dedicated "Artist Radio" section below.
Download a playlist (Download all)
In the playlist detail view you can download each song individually via the download icon. On desktop there is also a "Download all" button: it downloads the MP3 files of all songs in the playlist one after another as individual downloads — with sequential numbering in the file names (01, 02, …) so the order is preserved. No ZIP archive is created. You can cancel a running bulk download at any time. On mobile devices "Download all" is not available because mobile browsers only allow one download per tap — there you download songs individually. Songs without an MP3 file are skipped.
Equal loudness in playlists
Songs in playlists are automatically brought to a uniform loudness (−14 LUFS, like streaming services) — in the app, on shared playlist pages and in Artist Radio. As soon as a song is added to a playlist, the server creates a loudness-normalized playback version in the background. Until it is ready, the regular version is played temporarily. Your original files, masters and downloads are not affected — the adjustment only applies to playback in playlists and radio.
Playlist filter in Discover
In the "Discover" section you can filter songs by playlist — ideal for browsing and listening to only the songs of a specific playlist. The filter can be combined with all other Discover filters.
AI Playlist suggestion
In the Playlists section you will find the "AI Playlist" button. Enter an occasion — for example "Relaxed Sunday morning" or "Friday night company party" — and the AI suggests a fitting selection from your songs that you have deliberately marked Done, including a playlist name and explanation. You can save the suggestion directly as a new playlist or swap out individual songs. Manual playlists may still contain songs that are not done yet.
Continue editing an AI playlist
In an AI-created playlist, use "Edit with AI" next to the AI verdict. Ask a question or enter a task for the current selection. The AI first shows a proposal with the complete order and marks new or removed songs. This also only considers songs with work status Done. "Keep existing songs" is on by default and protects completed songs already in the playlist; unfinished tracks may be left out of the proposal. Check the displayed changes before accepting. The playlist changes only after you choose "Apply suggestion". The original occasion remains saved as context.
Share a playlist
Open a playlist and click "Share". With "Create link" you get a public link (e.g. ai-music-organizer.com/share/playlist/abc12345) that anyone can open without logging in. The share page shows the cover, tracklist and a player with automatic playback continuation — and for songs with platform links enabled, buttons to YouTube, Apple Music & co.
Deactivate a playlist link
In the share dialog you can deactivate the link at any time with a toggle — the page immediately becomes unavailable. If you activate the link again later, the same address stays valid.
Artist Radio
What is Artist Radio?
Artist Radio lets you make selected playlists publicly available. Each enabled playlist becomes its own station. Visitors can choose a station and listen to that station's songs continuously.
Prepare your first playlist
Open "Playlists" in the sidebar and click "New Playlist". Then add at least one song with playable audio. You do this via "Explore" → "Playlist" → select songs → "Add to playlist".
Enable a playlist as a radio station
Go back to the playlist overview and click the radio icon on the playlist you want to use. An empty playlist or a playlist without a playable song cannot be enabled as a station. If it contains private songs, activation stays blocked and the notice lists those songs with links to each song's Song status. Deliberately change the privacy status on each song there, then start activation again. When activating it, a notice first explains that the playlist name, description, song titles, artist details, cover art and audio will be publicly accessible or playable without signing in. Select “Activate publicly” to publish the playlist. The activation then creates your personal radio profile and its public link. Private songs also cannot be added later to an active radio playlist.
Additional stations and main station
Enable more playlists through their radio icons to add additional stations. In the radio settings, you can optionally choose one visible playlist as the main station. The main station is a playlist, not a separate additional station.
Radio name and public link
Set the visible radio name under "Settings". If the field is empty, your artist name is used. Your personal public radio link stays the same when you change the name.
Artist Radio – Design
In Settings you will find the "Artist Radio – Design" section. There you customize your public radio page with visuals from our curated library — only pre-approved images that guarantee image quality and licensing. Open the library, filter by category (All, Neutral, Pop, Rock, Schlager, Electronic, Techno, Jazz) and click any visual to preview it. Save your selection using the save button in each section.
Choose a radio signet
The signet appears in the top-left corner of your radio page and as small branding in the intro area. Open the "Radio Signet" section under "Artist Radio – Design" in Settings and choose a visual from the library — the preview updates immediately. Use "Reset to default" to clear an existing selection.
Choose a hero background
The hero background fills the large intro section of your radio page. An automatic dark gradient ensures all text stays easily readable. Open the "Hero Background" section under "Artist Radio – Design" in Settings, pick a visual from the library and save your selection. Use "Reset to default" to go back to the standard background.
Sharing a song
Create share link
In the "Final song" tab of a finished song click "Share". The app creates a public link (e.g. ai-music-organizer.com/share/abc12345) that anyone can access — without logging in.
Copy or share link
The link is automatically copied to your clipboard. You can send it by email, social media or messenger. The link stays valid as long as the song exists.
What do others see?
The public page shows title, artist, cover, the primary audio (for listening) and the lyrics. Internal notes or non-public prompts are never shown.
Rights confirmation before sharing
Before a share link is created, you must confirm that you own all rights to the song and cover. The app remembers the confirmation as long as nothing changes. If you replace the audio or cover, you will be asked again — so you stay on the safe side.
AI badge and report function on the share page
If your cover is AI-generated or AI-edited, the public share page (for songs, albums, and playlists) automatically shows the “CD Cover AI-generated” or “CD Cover AI-edited” badge. This is the transparency labelling required by the EU AI Act — visitors should be able to tell that the image was not photographed or painted by a human. Every share page also has a “Report content” button: visitors can report a cover, e.g. for a missing AI label, a real person depicted without consent, or copyright infringement. Reports are reviewed by support — justified reports can lead to sharing being disabled or the cover being removed.
Platform links
Your share page automatically displays links to music platforms — e.g. YouTube, Apple Music, Amazon Music or Deezer. The app detects these from your DistroKid HyperFollow link or you add them manually in the song detail.
Personal referral link
Your share page footer contains your personal referral link. When someone signs up through your link, you get one month free as a thank you.
Sharing an album
Create album link
In the album view click the share button in the "Share" section. The app creates a public link (e.g. ai-music-organizer.com/share/album/abc12345) that anyone can access without logging in — so you can share your whole album at once instead of each song individually.
Copy or share link
The link is automatically copied to your clipboard. You can send it by email, social media or messenger. The link stays valid as long as the album exists.
What do others see?
The public album page shows the album title, cover, description and the complete tracklist with audio player per song. Only one song can play at a time — starting a new one stops the previous one automatically. When a song ends, the page automatically moves to the next track so the whole album plays through. For the share link, all songs are normalized to a consistent loudness to avoid large volume jumps when switching tracks. This share version does not change your master or downloads. Internal notes or non-public prompts are never shown.
Settings
Settings at a glance
Settings are organised into five sections: Profile (artist name, label logo), Artist Page (your public artist calling card), Artist Radio (radio name, welcome message, design), Help & News (help chat, support, newsletter) and Legal & Account. Use the navigation at the top of the settings page to jump directly to a section.
Artist name
In the "Profile" section: Enter your default artist name here. It is automatically pre-filled for new songs and feeds into AI-generated covers and prompts. Leave blank if you don't want to use a fixed name or use a different name per song.
Label logo — upload & activate
In the “Profile” section: You can store a logo (PNG, JPG or WebP, max. 10 MB — ideally with a transparent background) once. As soon as the switch is active, the app makes the logo available as a reference when generating covers. Under “Logo placement”, choose whether it should appear as faithfully as possible as a clear graphic element or be artistically integrated into the scene — for example as a mural, engraving or lettering on a sign. In artistic mode, the material, perspective and font style may adapt to the scene while the brand name remains legible. Gemini Pro delivers the most reliable results. You can replace or remove the logo or change the mode at any time. Image AI cannot reproduce logos 100% pixel-perfectly every time.
Using the label logo in "Edit details"
If you have stored a logo and activated the switch, an optional checkbox "Include label logo" appears in the "Edit cover details" dialog. This gives the AI your real logo as a reference when editing an existing cover — useful if you enter e.g. "Add logo" or "Logo in the bottom right corner". By default the checkbox is deactivated so existing covers can be edited without logo involvement.
Prepare your public Artist Page
In the “Artist Page” section, build a personal artist calling card using a dedicated name for the page, your photo, an optional logo, a claim, short introduction, bio and contact links. This page name is independent from the default artist name in your profile, so it does not change your songs or covers. Then choose one current song and two or three more tracks from your existing library. Titles, covers, genres and other song details are carried over automatically. Small preview cards let you choose between the spacious “Editorial” design and the space-saving “Compact” design. The existing desktop or mobile preview updates immediately. You can save an incomplete draft at any time.
Publish or deactivate your Artist Page
Publishing becomes available only when every required item is complete. Before the first publication, you explicitly confirm that the page will be publicly accessible without signing in. You then receive a stable URL that does not change when you update the page later. “Deactivate” immediately removes the page from public access without deleting your saved content or URL. The feature is available on the Creator plan and during the trial.
Unsaved changes on your Artist Page
If you try to leave the editor with unsaved changes, the app asks what to do — including when using sidebar links or the browser's Back and Forward buttons. Save before leaving, discard the changes, or continue editing. If saving fails, you stay in the editor. Reloading or closing the browser tab may instead show the browser's own warning; this does not automatically save your draft.
Radio name and welcome message
In the “Artist Radio” section: store the publicly visible name of your radio here. If no radio name is set, the public radio page falls back to your general artist name — the general artist name continues to apply to new songs and AI covers. The welcome message appears directly on the radio page for visitors — use it for a short description or a personal greeting.
Artist Radio — design (branding library)
Also in “Artist Radio”: choose a radio signet (appears top left on the radio page and as a small branding element in the intro area) and a hero background (fills the large intro section in full, a dark gradient ensures legibility). Only approved motifs from the curated library are selectable — image quality and rights are secured. The library can be filtered by category (All, Neutral, Pop, Rock, Schlager, Electronic, Techno, Jazz). Use “Reset to default” to remove a selection.
Newsletter
In the "Help & News" section: Turn the newsletter on or off. Active means: you receive emails about new features, tips for AI music creators and app updates. The toggle shows your current status immediately. You can switch back and forth at any time.
Important account notifications by email
You receive important account notifications by email: shortly before your trial ends, after the trial ends without a subscription, when your subscription is activated, changed or ends, and when your storage is almost full. These service notifications are sent independently of your newsletter setting.
Release reminder emails
In the "Help & News" section you can turn "Release reminder emails" on or off. When enabled, the Organizer reminds you seven days before a planned release that has not been published yet. Main songs and albums are included; variants are not. If a release date is added less than seven days in advance, no retroactive reminder is sent.
Legal
In the “Legal & Account” section: Links to terms of use, privacy policy and imprint. You also see here when you last accepted the terms of use.
Delete account
In the “Legal & Account” section: Deletes your account and all your data irrevocably — songs, albums, lyrics, prompts, audio files and covers. For safety you have to type the word "DELETE" to confirm. We recommend a data export beforehand ("Export data (JSON)" on the subscription page).
Subscription & storage expansion
Basic subscription
There are two subscriptions: Organizer for €4.99/month (AI song analysis, all organizing features, audio uploads, release export, 5 GB storage — cover and master credits available as one-time purchases) and Creator for €12.99/month (everything in Organizer plus prompt & lyrics generator, 50 AI covers and 20 masterings per month included, YouTube/karaoke video, 10 GB storage). Without a subscription you can create songs and write lyrics, but cannot upload files.
14-day trial
New accounts automatically start with a 14-day free trial. During this time you have full access to all features — including AI cover design, mastering, prompt and lyrics generator. No payment details are required and you don't need to choose a plan yet. A short welcome message appears on your first login to explain the trial. If you clicked Organizer or Creator on the landing page, that choice is remembered and highlighted on the subscription page — non-binding, you can always pick a different plan. Bonus: unused cover and mastering quotas from the trial are carried over once as permanent credit when you first subscribe.
Scheduled plan change (Creator → Organizer)
As a Creator subscriber you can schedule a plan change to Organizer at the end of your current billing period via "Switch to Organizer" on the subscription page. The switch does not happen immediately — Creator stays fully active until the period end, including your remaining monthly AI covers and masterings. After that you automatically move to the Organizer plan. Unused monthly Creator allowances lapse at the cutover date; separately purchased credits, your storage, and all your content are kept permanently. A confirmation dialog shows the exact cutover date and your remaining quotas before you confirm. You can cancel the scheduled change at any time before the cutover date via "Cancel scheduled plan change" — your Creator subscription then continues unchanged.
Storage expansion (one-time purchase)
You can purchase additional storage as a one-time buy: +5 GB for €9.99 or +20 GB for €24.99. The storage stays assigned to your account even after cancelling the subscription. It is usable as soon as you reactivate your subscription.
Export & backup
Release export (ZIP)
The release export in the song detail bundles everything for DistroKid: final audio file, primary cover, release lyrics, release_info.txt, distrokid_metadata.txt and the permanently stored YouTube video. Before the download the app checks whether everything is available — if e.g. a primary audio file, the cover, release lyrics, artist name, genre or language is missing, that is shown directly. Important: Only the release export automatically upscales the primary cover to at least 3000×3000 pixels (square) to meet distributor requirements. In the normal project export the cover stays at original size. This applies to both song and album release exports.
Project export
The project export creates a complete archive of all versions (audio, texts, prompts, metadata) — ideal as a personal archive of the creative process.
Full backup (JSON)
On the subscription page you'll find the "Export data (JSON)" button, which lets you export all your songs and albums at once. The backup contains only text data — metadata, lyrics, prompts, checklists. Audio files, covers and other media files are not included. Useful for reading text data or importing into your own database — not a substitute for a full data backup.
Download Explorer
In the Download Explorer you can select files from songs, albums and playlists. The selection always belongs to the view currently open: a selection under "Albums" is not added to a selection under "Songs" or "Playlists". Selected files are bundled in the browser — normally as one ZIP per song; album-only files receive their own ZIP. The metadata backup is downloaded as a JSON file. ZIPs are started one after another as normal browser downloads. The browser decides the destination folder; the app does not show its own folder picker. Keep the tab open until all packages have been handed to the browser. "Handed to browser" means that the download was started — the app cannot tell whether or where the browser saved the file. The Explorer shows only your own content.
Contacting support
The help chat is an AI assistant
The help chat is answered by an AI assistant — no human is typing live. A note about this is shown permanently at the top of the chat window. Responses are generated automatically and may contain errors. If you'd rather talk to a human, use the "Send a message to support" link at the bottom of the chat — support requests are answered by a human via email.
Directly from the app
Got a question, problem or feedback? In the help chat you'll find the link "Send a message to support" at the bottom — it opens a short form (subject optional, message). The same option is available in the settings under "Contact support". The reply is sent by email to your account's address.
Include chat history (optional)
When you open the form from the help chat, you can optionally include your current chat history — this helps support understand your issue faster. The history is only sent if you enable the toggle.
Correct karaoke timing
Edit line timing
If automatic karaoke timing shows a line too early or too late, open “Edit timing” in the YouTube/karaoke section. Play the song, jump to a line, and set its start or end numerically or with “Use current position”.
Shift multiple lines
Use the shift controls to move one line, or that line and all following lines, forward or backward in small steps. Word timings are adjusted proportionally within the line; individual words cannot be edited here.
Save and recreate the video
Saving changes only the karaoke timing and does not start a video automatically. Create a new video afterwards if needed. The existing video remains available until the replacement finishes successfully.
Outdated or missing timing
Manual timing is bound to the audio source and lyrics. If either changes, set the timing again. When no automatic timing exists, words are distributed evenly as an explicitly approximate starting point.
How do I use library statistics?
What are statistics?
Statistics provide an overview of all your songs, variants, and albums. You can instantly see how many songs are in which work status (Idea, In Progress, Done) or publication status. Note: Statistics always include your archived and private songs. Partially completed imports are also immediately counted. For vocals, songs marked as instrumental count as Instrumental. All other songs count as Vocals if nonempty lyrics or release lyrics are saved. Without an instrumental marking or lyrics, they remain not yet set. No additional confirmation or AI detection is needed.
Originals vs. All Versions
You can choose whether to include only original songs or all variants in the statistics. The inventory always shows the true total numbers of your library. A structural original remains an original in this evaluation, regardless of which version you have marked as the standard version (the representative main version).
Dashboard Filters
Click a work status, publication, or genre bar to open the matching songs in your dashboard. Under “Published”, songs are also split by the explicitly saved type Single, Album, or both; this counts songs, not albums. These bars open the matching dashboard selection too. The album total always refers to all albums you own.
