Spotify Pre-Save is a great promotional tool that lets fans automatically save your upcoming release to their library, and be notified when it drops! If you have Show.co account, you can set up a Spotify Pre-Save directly from your Show.co account using your barcode or your Spotify URI.

How to create a Spotify Pre-Save using your UPC 

• Before you get started, make sure you've already submitted the title for digital distribution and that it's been delivered to Spotify. 
• Next, log into your Show.co account and click 'New Campaign' > 'Spotify Pre-Save'.
• Select the option to enter your CD Baby UPC.
  • You can find your UPC bar code assigned by CD Baby in the Title Overview for your release in your CD Baby account.

How to create a Spotify Pre-Save using your Spotify URI

• If you have a Spotify for Artists account, you can find the URI for your upcoming release and use that as an identifier for your pre-save campaign in Show.co.
  • For more info on how to claim your Spotify for Artists account, go here.
• Log in to your Spotify for Artists account and navigate to the 'Upcoming Releases' section.
• In the three dot menu, click 'View playlist pitch'.
• Copy the URI (22 characters) that appear in URL for the pitch page immediately after 'Submission'.
• Type 'spotify:album:' before the URI.
  • It should look something like this: spotify:album:76MPqCSlM9pMgULYDgTzST
• You can select 'Spotify URI' in the 'Identifier' options in Show.co, and enter this information to proceed.

Things to note

• If your title's already live on Spotify and you need the URI, it's easy to track down. Check out Spotify's instructions here.
