Collections, Singles, and What a Buyer Actually Receives

Sell a track on its own, or group tracks into a collection a buyer can take whole or piece by piece. Add a WAV, add a licence, add an MP4 visualiser. Same 75% either way. This is how the packaging actually works.

Pricing a beat is not just picking a number. It is deciding what the buyer walks away with, and whether there is a reason to spend more.

DogeBeats gives you those levers per track and per collection. Here is what each one does.

Singles

The default. One track, one price, MP3 delivered on payment.

From there you decide what else is included:

A WAV download. Lossless, and the thing a serious buyer actually wants to work with. Offering it is a per-track switch, so you can reserve it for the beats where it matters.

A licence. Include licence documentation with the purchase, or leave it off.

An MP4 visualiser, offered as an upgrade at checkout — see below.

Artwork is optional. Upload cover art and it is used. Do not, and the track is presented in DogeBeats branding rather than showing a broken placeholder. Nothing on the page ever looks half-finished because you have not made a cover yet.

Collections

A collection groups tracks together — a beat tape, a pack, a themed set, everything from one session.

The useful part is that a buyer is not forced into one choice. They can take the whole collection or buy a single track out of it. You are not choosing between selling a bundle and selling individually; you get both from the same upload.

That matters because those are two different buyers. Somebody who wants one specific beat for one specific project is not going to buy twelve to get it — they will leave. Somebody building a library would rather take the set at a better effective rate than click twelve times. Forcing either into the other's shape loses the sale.

Collections carry their own artwork, and tracks inside a collection can use the collection's imagery so the whole set looks coherent without you making twelve separate covers.

The split is identical. 75% to you on a collection sale, exactly as on a single. No bundle penalty.

The MP4 upsell

On singles, an MP4 visualiser can be offered as an upgrade at checkout.

It is a genuinely useful thing to sell rather than filler. A buyer who wants to put a track on YouTube, TikTok or Instagram needs a video file, because those platforms will not take a bare MP3. Selling the visualiser alongside the audio means they are not stuck making one, and you capture value from a need they already had.

It is also the file an Oracle Stamp fingerprints, which connects the packaging to the proof: the certificate hashes the exact MP4 the buyer received.

What the buyer actually receives

Worth stating plainly, because "you get the files" is doing a lot of work on most marketplaces.

MP3 as standard. WAV if the artist offered it. Licence documentation if included. MP4 visualiser if purchased. And optionally an Oracle Stamp certificate — a SHA-256 fingerprint of the exact file, tied to the blockchain transaction that paid for it, signed by DogeBeats and verifiable on a public explorer without our involvement.

Everything downloads. Nothing is streamed-only, and nothing lives behind a subscription that stops working when you stop paying.

How to think about packaging

A few things that tend to hold true:

Do not offer WAV on everything by default. If every track includes it, it is not an upgrade, it is just your price. Reserve it where it justifies a higher number.

Collections work best with a genuine reason to exist — same session, same mood, same tempo range. A bundle of unrelated leftovers reads as a clear-out and prices like one.

Watch your conversion rate, not your plays. The dashboard shows both. Plays tell you the artwork and title are working. Conversion tells you the track and the price are. They are different problems with different fixes.

Change things. Prices, artwork, inclusions and descriptions are all editable after publishing. Treat your first pricing as a guess, because it is.

Common questions

Can a buyer purchase one track from a collection?

Yes. Whole collection or individual track, their choice.

Do I earn less on a collection?

No. 75% on both.

Do I need artwork?

No. Tracks without it appear in DogeBeats branding. Collections can share their artwork across the tracks inside them.

Can I move a track into a collection later?

Your catalogue and collections are managed from the dashboard and stay editable after publishing.

Does every sale get an Oracle Stamp?

Certification is an option on a purchase rather than forced into every price, so buyers who want the certificate get it and nobody subsidises it who does not.

Put a collection up

If you have a set of beats sitting in a folder that belong together, that is a collection. It takes minutes and a buyer can still pull a single track out of it.
