Set your track details (Basic, Metadata & Permissions)

Use the SoundCloud-style tabs in Rollout: Basic info, Metadata, and Permissions — only fields that stick on the public API, plus locked defaults for repeat releases.

Click a track in the queue. The right-hand editor mirrors SoundCloud’s layout with three tabs. Rollout only shows fields that are live-verified (or documented) to stick on SoundCloud’s public upload API — so Metadata on SC matches what you entered.

Steps

1. Click your song — details open on the right.
2. Work through Basic info, Metadata, and Permissions (below).
3. Click Save once — it saves all three tabs together. Always Save before Publish so title/genre/description are not empty on SoundCloud.

Basic info

• Title, optional permalink (URL slug; blank = from title).
• Genre — pick from SoundCloud’s list or type your own; tags; description (optional ✨ Write with AI).
• Privacy — Public or Private.
• When Rollout publishes — calendar for auto-upload later (your local time). Empty = publish when you click Publish. Not the same as Metadata “Release date.”

Metadata

• Artist, record label, release title (album/release name).
• Release date — display date on SoundCloud (calendar picker).
• ISRC, license (all rights reserved / Creative Commons options), buy-link URL and button title.

Not on the form (public API does not keep them): caption, composer, publisher, barcode, ISWC, BPM, key, explicit, etc.

Permissions

• Direct downloads, app playback, embed (anyone / only me / no one).
• Comments: enable comments, display comments, display stats (quiet mode).

Lock defaults

Click the lock next to a field to reuse that value on every new track. See locked track defaults.

Hover the small i next to a label for a plain-English tip. Related: cover art, scheduling.
