On Collections

Collections are the building blocks of a Tape Trade account

Once you have an account and a subscription, you'll need to create a collection to upload audio files. Your collections are available anywhere you log in.

Collections work like albums or folders. Collections can be assigned an name, image, and description which appear to the account holder and on shared links.

On Files & Management

Collections support wav, mp3, m4a, and aac file types

Files can be uploaded from any device. Once uploaded, they can be sorted, reordered, renamed, and of course- played back at full data rate.

On Sharing

Collections can be shared anywhere with a few clicks

All collections can be shared via link. These links are shared only through direct communication, and not searchable by other users or the internet at large. Certain subscriptions offer users the ability to add password protection.
