Genre(s)
Beatport and Traxsource use genres to showcase their products to customers. It's essential to label your releases with accurate genres so they appear in the right sections on these platforms. You want your artists to start climbing the charts in their respective genres, and customers searching for the hottest Deep House tracks are likely not looking for Aquatic Drum & Bass!
Catalog Numbers
Most DSPs don't display catalog numbers, but they're important on platforms like Beatport and Traxsource.
These platforms allow customers to search by catalog numbers and display them prominently.
If you don't provide a catalog number, Beatport and Traxsource will show your UPCs instead—and let's face it, catalog numbers are much cooler than UPCs!
