Feature Guide: Artist & Album Pages

What are Artist & Album Pages on DISCO?

Both Artist Pages and Album Pages are stylized Playlists:

  • Artist Pages could include things like: an indie artist EPK, a composer reel, or a sampling of loops and beats made by a producer.
  • Album Pages could include: a full album, an EP, or a single release.
    The primary difference between an Artist and an Album Page is that Album Pages have album/single images and release dates associated with them.

You can convert any existing Playlist to a Page.

Why should I create a Page?

Pages help you stand out and are a great way to highlight artists, new album releases, or specific works. You can include images, bios, social links, and videos!
