Albums
An Album (also known as a "Release") is a Music Asset that an Organization owns or exploits under license.
Please note in Reprtoir, "Release" is dedicated to exploited Albums.
To add an Album, go to the navigation menu on the left, open the "Audio Management" section and click on the "Albums" list. Then click on the orange button "New Album" located at the top right of the list and choose "Manual Entry" in the drop-down list.
This will open a pop-up window with multiple tabs to enter the metadata needed to add a new Album. Please go to the Tabs section below to learn more.
Tips: When you have finished adding an Album, Reprtoir will automatically suggest you add a Track. If so, click here to learn how to add a Track.
To save the new Album, click on the orange button "Save" located at the bottom right of the pop-up window. The new Album will then be immediately available in the "Albums" list. To stop the action, click on the grey "Cancel" button next to it.
Albums can be added in bulk thanks to the dedicated template in Reprtoir Sheets, a collaborative and smart online spreadsheet tool that works exactly like Google Spreadsheets or Office 365 but specifically designed for Reprtoir metadata bulk importation. To find out more, follow the link below.
Alternatively, Releases Importer let import Releases already published on streaming services like Spotify in a blink of an eye. So you won't waste your time recreating them manually in Reprtoir. To find out more, follow the link below.
Reprtoir Sheets allows you to structure your data and import at once not only the fields required by Reprtoir but also your own Tag structure. Its downside is that it could be quite time-consuming depending on the metadata to import.
The advantages of Releases Importer are exactly the opposite. It is very fast to import metadata but it is limited to what is available in streaming services.
Both solutions are very effective. We advise taking the time to test the best solution for your own usage. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us using the Chat available at the bottom right of your screen in your Workspace, or by email at:
