Changelog
What's new
Every feature, fix and improvement shipped to The Musical Road — newest first.
v1.7.0July 14, 2026
Audience Insights & PDF Campaign Reports
- New Audience Insights dashboard shows recipient countries, devices, browsers, operating systems and preferred languages per campaign.
- Export any campaign's full analytics — including listen rate, download rate and structured feedback — as a polished PDF report in one click.
- Audience breakdown cards are now interactive: click any country or device segment to filter the full metric view.
- PDF reports include your artist branding, campaign metadata and a summary page suitable for sharing with labels or managers.
v1.6.0June 18, 2026
Download & Listen Tracking + Structured Feedback
- Campaign analytics now track six distinct engagement signals: Delivered, Opened, Clicked, Listened, Downloaded and Feedback received.
- Structured feedback collection lets you embed a short response form inside campaign emails — recipients rate the track and leave a comment without leaving their inbox.
- Listen events are captured when a recipient streams your track directly from the campaign email for more than 30 seconds.
- Download Rate is surfaced as a primary KPI on the campaign overview card, alongside Open Rate and Click Rate.
v1.5.0May 27, 2026
My Contacts Import & Reputation Engine
- Artists can now import their own contact lists via CSV — map columns to name, email, role, company and genre tags in a guided flow.
- Imported contacts are stored privately in "My Contacts" and never shared with the broader Music Network.
- The reputation engine automatically suppresses contacts that have bounced or marked a previous campaign as spam, protecting your sender score.
- Auto-suppression rules are configurable: set thresholds for soft bounces, hard bounces and complaint rates per campaign.
v1.4.0April 30, 2026
Global Music Network — Audience Selection
- The Music Network now contains thousands of curated industry contacts: playlist curators, music bloggers, radio producers, sync supervisors and A&R representatives.
- Filter contacts by genre, territory, role and platform to build a precisely targeted recipient list for each release.
- Contact cards show submission preferences, average response time (where disclosed) and genre tags.
- Saved audience segments can be reused across multiple campaigns.
v1.3.0March 19, 2026
AI Campaign Generator
- Generate complete campaign email copy — subject line, opening hook, body and call-to-action — from a brief description of your release.
- The AI adapts its tone based on the recipient type: warm and conversational for blog curators, punchy and data-led for playlist editors.
- Regenerate individual sections without re-running the full generation, and accept or dismiss suggestions inline.
- AI-generated copy is fully editable before sending — think of it as a strong first draft, not a locked template.
v1.2.0February 24, 2026
Release Management & Campaign Scheduling
- Centralised Releases hub: upload tracks, add ISRC codes, set release dates and attach artwork and bio in one place.
- Link any release to one or more campaigns — analytics are automatically scoped to the release it belongs to.
- Campaign scheduling lets you queue sends up to 90 days in advance with time-zone-aware delivery.
v1.1.0January 30, 2026
Dashboard Download Metrics & UX Overhaul
- The main dashboard now surfaces Download Metrics at a glance: total downloads this month, week-over-week trend and top-downloading campaign.
- Redesigned campaign cards show a mini sparkline of daily engagement over the last 14 days.
- Navigation restructured into Releases, Campaigns, Contacts, Analytics and Settings for a clearer mental model.
v1.0.0January 6, 2026
