# Playlist submissions
Source: https://docs.aden.space/docs/help/release/playlist-submissions

Groover-style pitching: artists submit a track at a specific curated playlist (or attach their own playlist link), and accepted demos are placed straight into the target playlist.

## What it is [#what-it-is]

Playlist submissions let artists pitch a track at a specific playlist you
curate: the way Groover and similar platforms work. Turn a demo channel into a
playlist submission channel, share its link, and collect pitches aimed at that
playlist. Accepted submissions can be added straight to the playlist.

There are two complementary pieces:

* **Pitch at a curated playlist.** Bind a demo channel to one of your playlists.
  Submitters see which playlist they're pitching for, and you can place accepted
  tracks into it in one step.
* **Ask for the artist's own playlist.** Optionally ask submitters to include a
  link to their own playlist (e.g. their Spotify artist or release playlist) as
  extra context on the submission.

## Using it (teams) [#using-it-teams]

1. Open **Track requests** for your team and create or edit a request.
2. Under **Pitch at a playlist**, choose one of your playlists to turn the
   request into a playlist submission channel. (Optional.)
3. Tick **Ask submitters for a link to their own playlist** if you want that
   extra field on the form. (Optional.)
4. Share the request link. Submitters see the target playlist as context and,
   when enabled, a field for their own playlist.
5. Review submissions in your demo inbox and use **Add to playlist** to place an
   accepted demo into the target playlist.

## Using it (organisations / labels) [#using-it-organisations--labels]

1. In **Settings → Website**, enable **Demo submissions** to open your public
   portal at `/o/<slug>/demos`.
2. Under **Playlist pitch targets**, pick playlists from your member teams to
   offer as pitch targets.
3. On the public portal, submitters can pick one of those playlists to pitch at,
   and optionally add their own playlist link.
4. Pitched submissions land in your Demos board **and** in the owning team's demo
   inbox, so the team that owns the playlist can place the accepted track.
