Promoting music with Caster
Building a music promotion campaign with Caster is easy. Upload music files, input metadata, add promotional assets,
and select distribution packages (starting at $250). International promotion packages and a la carte lists by format and music market are available.
Step 1: Sign up
Sign up for Caster here. Next you will receive a Welcome Email where you can sign in and start building your first music promotion! To make promoting and tracking your music as efficient as possible, a MTR radio tracking account is automatically created for you using the same sign in credentials.
Step 2: Upload
Upload mixed & mastered (broadcast-ready) song files (WAV/AIFF) and release artwork. Input release information and metadata. Select the release type (single/ep/album), song versions, (radio edit, clean, explicit, instrumental, album version) and music genre. Choose permissions and enable music curators to contact you.
Step 3: Promote
Input promotional copy and set a release impact date. Input an attention-grabbing subject line for your email blast. Include a press release, contact information, and links (music video, website). Attach promo assets such as promo photos and artist bio (up to 5). Releases include 2 free resends (update with radio adds, press quotes, tour dates and more) which can be used within 6 months of the first send.
Step 4: Distribute
Select music promotion packages for the email blast and distribution of the release to industry contacts. Select packages by market and format or choose an International Bundle. Target promotions to radio, media, and industry VIPs. Plus add on global music supervisors, bloggers and/or curators in retail, restaurants and airlines.
Step 5: Summary
View a summary of the promotional release and invoice line items (selected distribution lists) before submitting and checking out. Review all content, assets, and selected distribution packages for accuracy. Changes can be made after payment by contacting support.
Step 6: Export Release to MTR
After finalizing the promotion, click ‘Track Music’ from the “…” drop-down beside the release. Once redirected to MTR, select songs for airplay tracking, choose a start date and purchase a plan. Caster users get 10% off MTR. Track spins with MTR to know when and where songs are gaining traction at radio.
Play MPE has been by far the best. Customer service is great (with other agencies, it’s patchy, advice isn’t offered and emails are often not replied to), and subsequently we have received a lot of airplay and recognition thanks to this promotion. I’ve also felt comfortable asking questions and making changes.
Play MPE gave me an opportunity to reach a broader audience and put my music in front of the industry’s movers and shakers. From getting my first single out to radio as an indie, to having that same track land on a billboard chart – they helped me every step of the way!
Play MPE rocks! When our clients need either a full campaign or just need to get new music in front of the right ears at radio, this is the best way to do that. Easy to manage and excellent support makes it a great tool.
