# Public download page
Source: https://docs.aden.space/docs/help/release/public-download-page

One public link that lists an artist's whole released catalogue with a preview player and per-format downloads, replacing a shared Dropbox folder.

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

One public page, `aden.space/@yourname/download`, where anyone can hear your
music and download it in whichever format you uploaded: WAV, MP3, FLAC, a Dolby
Atmos master. They can grab one file, one track's formats, or the whole page in
a single click.

It replaces the shared Dropbox or Drive folder most artists send to DJs, press,
labels and sync contacts. There's nothing to keep in sync: the page reads your
music directly, so what you publish shows up and what you unpublish disappears.

You choose what it lists: **every released track**, or **only the tracks you set
up a download for**: so you can share the whole catalogue or hand-pick it track
by track. Either way the page is off until you switch it on, and it only ever
shows tracks that are already public on your profile.

## Using it [#using-it]

**Turn it on.** From your team's **Downloads** page, hit **Public page** in the
toolbar: the badge on it says whether the page is live or off. The same
controls are in **Settings → Website** under **Download page**. Switch on
**Share my catalogue for download**, and a "View download page" button appears
with your link, plus a **Download** tab on your public profile.

**Choose what to share.** Under **What to share**, pick either:

* *Every released track*: your whole public catalogue, automatically.
* *Only tracks I set up a download for*: a track appears only once you've added
  a download to it, and disappears the moment you remove it. This is how you
  pick track by track.

**Add a note (optional).** The note sits at the top of the page. Use it for how
you want to be credited, or where to write for sync and licensing. Edit it and
press **Save note**.

**Share the link.** Send `aden.space/@yourname/download` to anyone. They don't
need an account. They can search, filter by format ("show me everything you have
as WAV") or by genre, play any track, and download. One file at a time, or with
**Download everything** at the top of the page, which takes the lot in one go
(as a zip for smaller sets) or everything in a single chosen format.

**Turn it off.** Flip the same switch. The page and the profile tab disappear
immediately, and download links stop working.

**What appears.** A track shows up when it is released, public on your profile,
and has at least one audio file, plus, in the hand-picked mode, a download set
up on it. If a track is missing, check that it's marked released and public
that's the same setting that puts it on your Tracks tab.

**Locked downloads stay locked.** If a download has a password, a follow-to-
unlock, a payment or a pre-save on it, the page shows it with the reason and a
link to its unlock page. Its files are never handed out on the open page and are
never included in "download everything".
