How Tracknack works
You follow artists and labels you like, and Tracknack keeps you up to date with their latest releases.
You follow artists and labels
Tracknack provides you with relevant artists and labels to follow based on your listening history. You can also automatically import artists you’re already following on Spotify or Apple Music.
Tracknack monitors their latest releases
Tracknack monitors music databases like Spotify and Discogs to find new releases by the artists and labels you follow. This lets Tracknack look deeper into album credits, helping you discover surprising collaborations!
Receive automatic playlist updates
Once a new release is found it is automatically added to a dedicated Tracknack playlist in your Spotify or Apple Music library. You can enable email notifications sent when updates happen.
Discover more artists and labels on Tracknack
You can explore personalized recommendations or added track credits to discover more artists and labels to follow.
How is this different from Release Radar?
The idea is similar but there are notable features that set Tracknack apart from Release Radar or Discover Weekly.
Every release, not just ~30 picks
Get all new music as soon as it drops, instead of a limited list of algorithm-selected tracks once a week.
Get more control over music discovery
Know when and why a track has been added with email notifications and track exploration features.
Follow record labels
Get latest releases of labels you like automatically and get notified when they are released.
Follow artists featured in album credits
Discover music by producers, songwriters and other artists that don’t have a dedicated profile on Spotify.
No sponsored content
Tracknack doesn’t do targeted advertising through its playlists to promote big artists.
Discover by musical connection
Discover music through exploration of related labels and artists who work together.
Frequently asked questions
What’s a follow?
A follow is any followed artist or record label. Tracknack looks for new music released by your follows and puts it in a playlist on your connected streaming service.
How can I follow producers and songwriters and not just solo artists?
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.
How are tracks selected for the playlist?
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.
Will I get notified when my playlist is updated?
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.
How do AI recommendations work?
Tracknack uses ChatGPT by OpenAI to provide you with personalized recommendations of artists to follow. You can use this feature to discover new music or to find artists similar to those you already follow. To generate recommendations we use your recently listened artists as well as the artists you follow on Tracknack or Spotify.
What do you do with my music profile data?
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!
