More than 1,200 labels and outlets ship with the app, tagged by genre, each with the story of who runs it and what it releases, and any label that charges to consider a demo is flagged on the free tier. Pro unlocks the known demo route on the ones that have one, a one-click send that logs itself, and a tracker that follows every send from sent to signed. Whether a label has its inbox open this month is research you keep in the app, never a promise it makes.
Who they are, what genre they put out, and the story of where they came from. Labels and outlets are kept visibly apart, so you never pitch a radio show or a blog like an imprint. Where a label charges to listen, that is flagged before you send, and the flag is free: a pay-to-play warning behind a paywall reaches exactly the wrong person. Pro unlocks the known demo route on the ones that have one.
One click opens a label's demo route and logs the send at the same time, so the tracker is never something you have to remember to update. Every send carries its own state: sent, no reply, rejected, accepted, released. A submission with no reply after 30 days turns amber so you know who to chase, and replies are timed so you learn who actually answers. Part of Pro.
Ask about a label the book has no route for, or one the book has never heard of, and it goes and finds the current demo route and contact and files them in your book. Each answer comes back with the link it came from, so you can check it rather than take it on faith. It runs on research credits instead of a flat unlimited promise, because every lookup is real work. Part of the optional Cloud + A&R subscription.
Genre read from the bounce itself, not from a folder name or a tag you had to remember to type. It describes a track, it does not grade one, and it can name more than one thing at once, because most records do. It runs entirely on your computer: nothing is uploaded, and your music never feeds an online AI. It joins an optional subscription when it is ready.
Once Sessions knows what a track sounds like, it lines that up against the book and gives you a shortlist of labels working in the same lane, each one with the reason it is on the list, whether it takes demos, whether it charges, and its route. It narrows the book down to a handful worth your time. You still listen, you still decide, and you still write the message. The listening behind it runs entirely on your computer: nothing is uploaded, and your music never feeds an online AI. It joins an optional subscription when it is ready.
Where looking for labels accepting demos starts. Instead of the record label contact list you would otherwise build by hand, more than 1,200 labels and outlets arrive with the app, tagged by genre, each with the story of who runs it and what it releases. Labels that charge to consider a demo are flagged on the free tier too, because a pay-to-play warning is worth nothing to the person who already paid. Whether a given label has its inbox open this month is research you keep in the app, never a promise it makes. The directory is free; known demo routes and submission tracking are Pro: log every send and follow each track from first send to signed.
