What's new in DISCO

• Internal Track Notes are now a conversation

  Published: 7/27/2026 Update

  Reply to an internal note, and drop in a timecode to point someone at an exact moment in the track. Timecodes are clickable, so whoever reads the note jumps straight to the part you're talking about.

  Notes support rich text formatting such as bold, italic, underline, lists and links.

  You can leave a thumbs up on any note, for the times you agree but don't need to reply.

  Internal Notes and Client Notes are now on their own tabs, so its clear what's meant for your team, and what's meant for your clients.

  Find it all on the Notes tab of any track.

• Share briefs by assigning a URL

  Published: 7/13/2026 Update

  Briefs can now be shared via URL. Assign a URL to a contact/past brief recipient, mailing list, email address, and more. Those URLs can be sent across any external channel - including SMS and personal email - in addition to the Briefs flow within DISCO. Control access to the URL in-DISCO at any time.

  Supervisor accounts can generate URLs via the Briefs section on the left navigation.

• DISCO Bulk Uploader v1.04

  Published: 7/13/2026 Update

  The DISCO Uploader is faster and easier to use, following a complete rebuild from the ground up.

  Managing your active upload list is easier, with a cleaner view of what's uploading, complete, or waiting.

  Windows 7 and Linux are no longer supported.

  Download version 1.0.4 here.

• Track info pane expanded

  Published: 6/25/2026 Update

  Track information now stacks beneath the artwork in the info pane, giving long track titles the room they need to display in full. The star button is also back — now always visible in the pane rather than appearing only on hover.

• More control over share link expiry

  Published: 6/16/2026 Update

  Share links now expire at a time you choose, not just at midnight UTC. Pick a date and time, select your timezone, and the expiry displays in your local time in Playlist Settings.

• Updated contextual menus

  Published: 6/12/2026 Update

  We've refreshed contextual menus across DISCO, including the Help menu, Playlist Creator menu, and track and playlist menus.

• Discover Music page

  Published: 6/8/2026 Feature

  The new Discover Music page gives supervisors a curated, regularly-updated view of playlists from across the DISCO ecosystem. Play, favourite, and import tracks directly from the page.

  Discovery Suite subscribers can make their tracks available for curation by setting their primary catalog to Easy Access.

• Clearer icons for shared channels

  Published: 6/4/2026 Update

  We've updated the Shared Channels icons to make it easier to tell at a glance whether you've shared a channel with someone else, or whether a channel has been shared with you.

• Multi-select on the new search page

  Published: 6/3/2026 Feature

  Multi-selection is now available on the new Search page, so you can select multiple tracks at once and take bulk actions.

• Segment Search

  Published: 5/27/2026 Feature

  You can now select a specific segment of a track and run a similarity search — find other tracks that match a particular moment, not just the full song.

• Briefs now available on Supervisor plans

  Briefs is out of beta and now available on Corporate Supervisor, Enterprise Supervisor, Freelance Supervisor, and Supervisor Trial plans. Learn more in the support docs.

• ISNI and IPI support for writers and publishers

  Published: 4/17/2026 Feature

  You can now add an IPI (Interested Party Information) or ISNI (International Standard Name Identifier) number when creating a writer, publisher, or PRO. You can also search by these identifiers when adding an existing writer, publisher, or PRO to a writer split.

• Refreshed track tags

  Published: 3/21/2026 Update

  We've updated the track tag display to be less obtrusive, and tag colors are now visible in the Tags tab within the track modal.

• Redesigned DISCO Catalogs

  Published: 3/16/2026 Update

  We've redesigned DISCO Catalogs with a cleaner interface that puts the focus on your music. The new design makes browsing and discovery faster with persistent search and filters at the top of every page, a streamlined sidebar for navigation, and layouts that are easier to scan.

  The experience now works smoothly across all devices, includes track numbering for easier referencing, and meets WCAG 2.0 accessibility standards with full keyboard navigation support.

• Instant A Cappella

  Published: 3/16/2026 Fix

  Now you can create A Cappella versions in one click. Easily extract vocals from any track without the need for external tools or complex workflows. Perfect for faster pitching, editing, and creative reuse.

• Update on streaming Stats

  Published: 3/16/2026 Fix

  We’ve updated how streaming stats are calculated.

  Streaming totals now include all playback activity, regardless of how it’s triggered — including direct waveform clicks.

  As a result, you may see an increase in stream counts from today. No listening behaviour has changed — this update simply ensures all playback activity is consistently captured.

• Resizable columns on the search page

  Published: 3/16/2026 Feature

  You can now resize columns on the new Search page to fit your workflow. Column reordering is coming soon.

• Copy link now front and center in share modal

  Published: 3/12/2026 Update

  The copy public link action now sits at the top of the share modal, so you can share with fewer clicks.

• Writers tab refreshed

  Published: 3/11/2026 Update

  We've overhauled the Writers tab — new layout, additional capabilities, improved validation, and several bug fixes. This is the first phase of a broader rights data overhaul.

• Share tracks and playlists with QR codes

  Published: 3/9/2026 Feature

  You can now generate a QR code for any track or playlist directly from the share modal. In the Copy URL tab, click the QR code icon next to any URL to either download it as a PNG or copy it to your clipboard - perfect for printing on posters, posting on social, or dropping into an email footer.

  Each QR code links to the corresponding share page, so scanning it opens the track or playlist in the browser. Works for all URL types in the share modal.

• Get Better Search Results, Faster.

  Published: 12/8/2025 Feature

  The new DISCO Search helps music teams work faster and with more clarity. A rebuilt engine delivers quicker, more accurate results, while a new search layout shows more information at a glance. You can customize your view, apply filters with precision, and stream tracks without breaking your flow.

  To learn more about the new search experience, check out the blog post.

• API Improvements

  Published: 9/25/2025 Update

  We've made powerful updates to the DISCO API to give you more control and flexibility.

  Our updated search endpoint now lets you find tracks based on creation or modification date (on, before, or since a specified date). You can also use the search endpoint to identify tracks with missing external_id data.

  In addition, API calls to the share endpoint can now attribute a share to a specific person. You can override the default API user and specify the actual human who initiated the share, ensuring your sharing activity is accurately credited.

• A Simpler Way to Share Channels in DISCO

  Published: 7/7/2025 Feature

  Now in BETA: Shared Channels. A faster, easier way to share Channels with other DISCO users. With Shared Channels, you can invite other DISCOs directly—no more links or update reminders. Once accepted, your Channel appears in their DISCO, making collaboration seamless and real-time.
