Smartlinks just got a major upgrade. Every release link now has a redesigned landing page, and fans can preview the track right on the page — with a Spotify player and the official YouTube video embedded before they ever click through to a store.

A redesigned landing page

The public smartlink has a cleaner, more modern layout: the cover art and title lead, an embedded Spotify preview and YouTube video sit alongside, and every streaming service — Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer and more — is one tap away. It looks polished on desktop and mobile, and stays on-brand with the release artwork.

Spotify & YouTube preview embeds

Fans no longer have to leave the page to hear the track. A Spotify player lets them press play instantly, and the official YouTube video is embedded right below it. More preview, less friction — and a better first impression that turns a link click into a real listen.

  • Spotify player embedded at the top so fans can preview the track in one tap.
  • Official YouTube video embedded on the page — watch without leaving the link.
  • Service buttons (Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, and more) for a direct jump to any platform.

Set it up in seconds

Creating a smartlink is just as simple. Pick your release, choose a custom short link, and paste a YouTube URL to embed the video — you get a live preview as you build it. Audicient auto-matches your streaming services, and you can cross-check them before you publish.
