Frequently Asked Questions
A free home for the albums you love. Save any album to your collection, shelve it A–Z, pin your favourites, group albums into lists, and keep a listening journal. Open any album on whichever streaming service you use. You don’t need to own a single record—if you play the whole album, it’s for you.
The app is free and runs right in your browser—no app store, nothing to pay. Create an account and your collection is there on any device; add it to your home screen if you want it to feel like a native app. AlbumLinks Pro is an optional yearly or lifetime upgrade for extras—Cover Flow, more pinned albums, no promo screens—and nothing about your collection is behind it.
All major streaming services—Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, Deezer, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, and more. Open any album and you get links to every major service. You pick yours, and the music opens right there.
No. AlbumLinks connects you to the music you already stream. You use your own Spotify, Apple Music, or whatever service you prefer. We don't host music—we open it where you already listen.
The optional physical layer. A tag is a small NFC link you put on a record sleeve, a CD case, a notebook—anywhere. Tap it with a phone and that album opens, on whatever service the phone uses. Everything you link this way lands in your collection too.
Tap it with your phone, sign in to AlbumLinks, and search for the album, artist, or playlist you want on it. That's the whole setup. The first person to tap a blank tag is its owner.
Yes. Tags are unlocked—they're yours. Tap it while signed in and point it at something else. Pink Floyd this month, Taylor Swift the next. Same tag.
No. Anyone can tap an AlbumLink—no app, no account, no download. They land on the album page and pick their service. Only the owner signs in, and only to choose what the tag opens.
Tags are NFC. Every recent iPhone and most Android phones read one with a tap—hold the phone to the tag, no app needed. A phone without NFC can't read a tag; the printed pieces, like the Journal, carry a QR code for the camera instead.
