core feature · bundled in every tier · current beta

Your back catalog,
imported.

Some labels are starting out fresh. Others have 50, 200, sometimes 500 prior releases sitting in distributor dashboards. Smart Back Catalog Import handles both — an empty workspace ready to fill for new labels, an automatic import that brings the back catalog in for established ones.

how it works for established labels

Automatic on signup.

01

Captured automatically.

Your label name is read from your workspace setup. No manual entry, no API keys to find, no Spotify URI hunting — Labelflow handles the lookup itself.

02

Your full catalog is found.

We pull every release attributed to your label across the major streaming platforms. Albums, EPs, singles, compilations — each one with its tracklist, ISRCs, release date, and artwork.

03

Each release is enriched and activated.

Cross-platform IDs and links are pulled in so a release renders the same everywhere. Streaming analytics activate from day one. Within an hour of signup, your back catalog is flowing.

validated against a real catalog

DEEP TALES, end-to-end.

DEEP TALES — the working label that gives Labelflow's product credibility — brought its full catalog in last week. The numbers from that single test:

111 releases imported
100% accuracy on first pass
0 manual entries needed
<1h end-to-end, signup to flowing

Every release Labelflow imported was already a release on the catalog as the label remembered it — no false positives, no missed albums, no manual cleanup. The label reviewed the auto-discovered list, confirmed, committed. Done.

what it replaces

The "ugh, I have to set this up first" friction.

Migrating to a new tool with an empty catalog is a non-starter for any label with history. The way most label tools handle the initial import:

Most other tools: CSV export from distributor → manual cleanup → CSV import → field-by-field mapping → re-enter anything that didn't translate. Hours of work, often days of intermittent fixing as you discover gaps.
Labelflow: Automatic on signup. Done in under an hour, with analytics already activated. Zero manual entries.
where it sits

Bundled in every plan.

Smart Back Catalog Import is in every Label and Studio tier at no add-on cost. It's the gate to credible adoption for any label with history — without it, switching to Labelflow is too painful to be worth the upside. With it, onboarding is the most differentiated moment of the product.

Bring your catalog in.

Beta is invite-only. We onboard labels personally, in cohorts. The Smart Back Catalog Import flow is the first thing you'll see after signup — the right way to start a working tool is with your real history already in it.
