How do I use the Bundle Builder to create compilations?

The Bundle Builder is a simple, intuitive system that allows you to quickly build new releases (Albums, EPs, and Singles) using your existing catalogue. 

 

Why Use the LabelWorx Bundle Builder

  • To generate more revenue for your label and artists
  • To increase the exposure of your label and artists
  • To save you time. No re-uploading of audio or metadata
  • To ensure correct Metadata is used for tracks already released (ISRC Codes)
  • To match streaming stats on a number of DSPs (play counts)

The most common use for the Bundle Builder is to build compilations using tracks from your existing catalogue. Compilations are an effective way to give your records another chance of success or to highlight music that may have been overshadowed by another track on the same release. A well-curated compilation can give you an extra opportunity to secure publicity for the label, as well as generate additional income for you and your artists.
