What sets Tracknack apart
Automatic playlist updates
Both MusicButler and Tracknack send email notifications when new music is released, but Tracknack delivers all new releases straight to a custom playlist in your Spotify or Apple Music account.
High accuracy
Tracknack is built from ground up to only notify you about releases from artists you actually follow. Since many artists share the same name, Tracknack has features to prevent adding unwanted tracks to your playlist.
Follow record labels
If you enjoy following record labels that tend to put out music you like, with Tracknack you can get their latest releases automatically. MusicButler does not currently support this.
Follow artists featured in album credits
While MusicButler tracks solo artists only, Tracknack is able to track producers, songwriters, composers or sound engineers that don’t even have a dedicated profile on Spotify.
Discover by musical connection
Tracknack allows you to explore artists, labels or even tracks added to your playlist to find more artists and labels to follow.
Who should still use MusicButler?
MusicButler is well-established and works for tracking solo artists. If you prefer email notifications over playlists, MusicButler is solid. Where it falls short is producers, labels, Apple Music support, and automated playlist updates — that's where Tracknack fills the gap.
