A few words from the artists who've put codes up here.
I have been using Get Music with a lot of success in my releases. But even if I didn't use it for my own music, I'd still come here for everyone else's music. It is the main place I score new music. The emails are always loaded with music I have never heard of. Makes me happy.
It's easily the best way to promote your music and build a following. It’s also a great way to build a music collection. Honestly, it's my go-to site, beside Bandcamp, for the community of talent and those with great taste.
I honestly cannot remember how I functioned as an indie artist without GetMusic. In fact, the site does so much of the work for me, I've actually let my other promotional activities slide! For a long time I was a "Free" or "Pay What You Want" artist, but had little traction. Even though listeners getting codes through GetMusic is still technically free, there's a psychological reward when cashing tokens for music you'd normally pay for. Just by offering codes through GetMusic, my listeners have grown by 70% or more. Along with providing links to song downloads, GetMusic is constantly popping up on the socials with graphics of new releases, either solo or grouped with other new tracks. I myself am often drawn to new music thanks to these arresting graphics. GetMusic's stats are also great for reposting and reminding listeners of your newest tracks or albums. Along with Bandcamp, GetMusic is an essential tool for the indie artist.
GetMusic has increased our engagement immensely in a short time. Fans being able to return to an album in their collection quickly has also led to more sales in the long run. GetMusic is a must-have for any musician or label who wants to keep fans engaged while simultaneously finding new ones.
Through the golden age of vapor- and adjacentwave Twitter, I remained a devout consumer and user of the #freealbumcodes hashtag. As Elon Musk turned the platform into a shithole, you can ask my wife: Losing touch with that network really sent me into a depression. Most thankfully, it looks like all the big players have made their way over to Blue Sky and used GetMusic.fm to help keep the scene(s) alive. There might be no one in the entire music ecosystem of 2026, mainstream or not, doing more right now to help DIY and grassroots musicians find paying audiences all over the world more than Chuck and this website. For what we can get back of the old connectivity, I know it means the world to songwriters and composers at my level.
It definitely helped me get more listens and follows and I really appreciate the reposts on my Twitter as well. It brings awareness to my page and I love that.
I am blown away by the folks who have clicked on my songs here! Not only do folks leave reviews and start a convo sometimes, they appear to actually be sending music they like to their friends. Well-done everyone, everywhere. In my mind, that is the way it works best. This is a very affordable and necessary service if you want to find folks to put up with you. haha.
Using free codes to promote my band got me about 100 followers and 100 listeners on BandCamp and i spent about $12.00. So its worth it!
I used GetMusic to build the Bandcamp fanbase a bit in advance of my next album release. I made 100 codes available and shared this across X and FB groups. All codes were gone in under a week, I sold more physical copies in a day than ever before and grew the fan base. Win!
