More Well Thought-Out Features

Create and administer your sublabels

...and assign them to your releases. Upload label logos which iPool will automatically resize to a size specified by you. Your media and business partners will instantly see the respective label logo and can quickly find releases of a certain sublabel.

Charts Management

Record who votes for which charts. No matter whether Billboard, Coolcuts or German DJ Charts – from now on you know which user votes for which charts and which single of yours will soon break the charts. At any time, you can alter and extend the charts list yourself.

Genre Management

Define your own genres. Store the genre of all your releases. Enable your recipients to track down music titles of a specific genre. Record the preferred music genres of your recipients. Grant access to your releases only to users with a great interest for the genre of the release to implement your promo distribution process on a targeted basis.

Create Preview Versions Automatically

iPool can automatically generate a sample for previewing (including fade-in and fade-out) based on the download version. You can select the quality and length of the sample. Thanks to iPool, the strenuous, manual creation of preview versions is a thing of the past.

Automatic Resizing of Image Files

iPool automatically resizes image files, such as cover images or logos, to a format specified by you. Consequently, you dispense with the painstaking resizing of your image files. iPool supports the formats JPEG (RGB and CMYK), GIF and PNG.

”Finder”: Find releases quickly and easily

The ”finder” enables your media partners to find music titles of a certain artist, label or genre with ease. Thus, your media partners will have locate suitable music titles in your entire repertoire at cyberspeed. Moreover, the finder enables you to quickly track down certain users. No matter whether you require a list of all licensees from Great Britain or of all users from a single company – a child's play by using the finder.

Administration Log

Make teamwork even easier. iPool maintains a record of all changes made by content and system administrators. You will be able to view these changes in the Administration Log. This feature will help you understand and track not only which data your colleagues changed in your iPool, but also when they did it.

High-Resolution Release Covers

Supply your media and business partners with high-resolution release covers in printable quality. When you upload a release cover, iPool also saves this in the original size. Your media and business partners can instantly download the high-resolution cover version. This enables journalists to obtain printable image material or DJs to print out the artwork for CD holders.

Several Modern iPool Designs

You can completely alter the graphic user interface of iPool with so-called "GUI themes". Simply choose one of the provided GUI themes.

Adaptable to Your Corporate Design

Get your own, individual iPool look. We will gladly redesign and adapt the graphic user interface of iPool to your corporate design.

Full Text in English and German

Increase the acceptance of your recipients. All texts are available both in English and German language. If you like, you can also provide your recipients with multilingual descriptions of your releases. Moreover, every visitor to your iPool automatically receives the right language. iPool determines the visitor's language and automatically adjusts this. This means there is no manual language switching for your media and business partners.

”Reducing” Releases

Free up storage space, quickly and easily. This feature enables you to easily ”reduce” the size of releases in order to free up storage space. This function is useful when you need free storage space for new releases and don't want to completely remove existing releases. When you reduce the size of a release, iPool deletes all of the audio files in the release, making the freed up storage space available for new releases. But the release itself remains in your iPool. A reduced release takes up only a minimum amount of storage space.

Automatic Deactivation of Downloads

Easily control down to the minute how long your releases will be available for downloading.

If you wish, you can now set a time for each release that limits how long your recipients may download the tracks of a given release. No further downloads of tracks will be possible after the time has expired. However, additional files, such as video clips, booklets and press photos, may continue being downloaded.

Protection against Hacker Attacks

No need to worry. iPool actively defends against brute force attacks. A brute force attack is a malicious attempt by someone using a computer program to gain access to your iPool by trying thousands of different user names and passwords. iPool recognizes these attacks and automatically and immediately blocks the attacker’s IP address for a given period of time. What's more, the login reminder checks requests to ensure that they originate from a real person. iPool successfully wards off automated requests from computer programs.
