A few words from the artists who've put codes up here.
GetMusic.FM is the best $10 we have ever spent to advertise. We have had a noticible uptick in streams and unique listeners on the major sites including more Shazams. And the icing on the cake; online radio stations are picking up our music to play on their shows without us having to submit and hoping it is something they will like. Promotion that actually works.
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.
The views, sales, and followers increased, and honestly, I had a great experience.
GetMusic helps garner listens, sales and follows. It's been a huge help in a world where the social media platforms and algorithms tend to work against underground artists.
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!
@GetMusicfm is the reason why I discovered this community. Not only are they getting music out there and visible, they are bringing people together!
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 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.
I'm delighted with my initial results from GetMusic. In less than a week, I've gained 24 followers & a handful have even purchased my discography.
