Frequently asked questions

A follow is any followed artist or record label. Tracknack looks for new music released by your follows and puts it in a Spotify playlist for you.

Tracknack allows you to follow anyone involved in creating music - from the perfomers to producers, songwriters, session musicians and mixing engineers. Just follow them as you would any other artist.

No. Tracknack works with any Spotify account, including free ones. All you need is a Spotify login so Tracknack can create and update your playlist.

Not right now — it's Spotify only. Apple Music doesn't offer the same API access for creating and updating playlists, which makes it much harder to build on. I'd like to support it eventually, but there's no timeline for it.

Yes. When you sign up, you can import all your Spotify followed artists in one click. You can also search and follow artists, producers, or labels manually anytime.

Release Radar is pretty great. That said, Tracknack always tries to add all of the new music it can find, instead of a fixed number of curated tracks, and does not feature sponsored tracks. Not to mention that with Tracknack you can follow record labels and credited artist, instead of just solo artists!

All Tracknack requires is the ability to update your playlist and let you know via email when an update happens. For a more personalized experience, Tracknack also imports data from your recent listening history and your saved music in order to provide relevant follow suggestions for you. That's it!

In the free version you can follow up to 30 artists or labels. There's also a 14-day free trial to give you time to try Tracknack's full functionality.

On the free plan, up to 30. Starter gives you 300. Premium is unlimited. Artists and labels count toward the same limit.

Yes! All paid plans have a 14-day free trial to give you time to try Tracknack's premium functionality. You will need to start a Premium subscription to use the trial, but you won't be charged until the end of it, and you can cancel anytime.

I'm happy to extend your trial. Just let me know how much time you need.

As much as I would like Tracknack to be a free service, the reality is that maintaining the database and playlist automation costs money every month.

Yes! You can refer friends to Tracknack and get a discount on your subscription. When your friend signs up, both of you get $5 in Tracknack credits. You can find your referral link in the app settings.

You can manage your subscription from the app’s settings and cancel it immediately from there. It’s simple - there are no annoying hoops to jump through before you can get your subscription cancelled.

Tracknack checks for new releases on a schedule you control — hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly. The free plan runs weekly. Paid plans let you pick the frequency, so daily or hourly gets you same-day updates.

You will! You will receive an email notification whenever your playlist gets updated to make sure you don't miss the new music. You can turn this off if you don't need it.

You can delete any tracks in your playlist or even the whole playlist after you've checked it out. Tracknack will just add new tracks or create a new playlist on next update. If you still get overwhelmed by new releases, check if there are any labels or artist that contribute most to this and consider unfollowing them.

Yes, you can delete all of the tracks if you wish. New tracks will be added to the playlist on the next update. On the Premium plan, there is also an option to enable automatic deletion of tracks that are older than a certain number of days.

If you delete your playlist, Tracknack will create a new one on the next update. You will still get only tracks that haven’t been added to your playlists before.

The Tracknack playlist is public by default, which means that people viewing your profile on Spotify will be able to see it. You can make it private, however, and Tracknack will still update it, but for your ears only.

Tracknack looks for new releases that feature the artist you follow or have been put out by labels you follow. To find music by your followed artist, Tracknack analyzes album and track credits imported from Discogs. To give you the full experience as fast as possible Tracknack might initially select music that has been released in the past couple of months but afterwards will only add completely new releases.

Tracknack searches for new music releases by artist and labels you follow. If a track is re-released it will likely be added to your playlist. Please let me know if a repeatedly added track bothers you and I'll look for a solution.

This feature allows you to sync all your future Spotify follows and unfollows with Tracknack. Sync is performed every 24 hours and will add new follows and remove unfollows from your Tracknack follows.
