How It Works

Simple ground rules for protected ground.

Song Reserve was built for independent working artists — not tech people, not influencers. Here's exactly how it works.

1

Claim your reserve

Sign up with your email or Google. The moment you register, Song Reserve sets up your Open Ground — your free public feed — and your Reserve — the protected ground where loyal fans enter. It's ready before you close the tab.

2

Put your music in

Upload MP3, WAV, or M4A. Song Reserve handles the rest — transcoding, RSS feed generation, delivery. Your music lands where fans can actually hear it, in whatever app they already use.

3

Set your own terms

You decide what fans pay to enter the reserve. Connect Stripe once — and every subscription goes directly to you. No waiting. No minimum threshold. No platform deciding what your work is worth.

4

Send fans to your ground

Every artist gets a page at songreserve.com/yourname. Share it anywhere. When a fan subscribes, they step into your reserve — no algorithm, no competitors, no noise. Just them and your work.

How the reserve works

Three parts. One protected space.

The subscription is not a paywall. It is an invitation into protected space.

The Platform

Protects the space. Keeps the infrastructure running so artists don't have to think about it.

The Artist

Creates within it. Sets the terms. Owns the relationship with every fan who walks through the door.

The Fan

Funds it directly. Enters the reserve because they chose to — and their money goes straight to the artist they believe in.

Two feeds

The Open Ground. The Reserve.

Let the world hear what you do. Save the best for the ones who earn it.

The Open Ground

Open to anyone. Use it to introduce your work to listeners who don't know you yet — and point the right ones toward the reserve.

THE RESERVE

Song Reserve

Protected ground. Loyal fans subscribe to enter and fund the work they love — directly, without a corporation in the middle. This is the reserve.

Not for everyone. Built for you.

This is where your music belongs.

Independent working artists deserve a place worth protecting. This is it.
