Pre-Adds for Apple Music allow listeners to listen to a song or songs from a release before they are streamable on Apple Music. When a fan uses this feature, Apple Music will instantly add the remaining songs from the release to their library as soon as they become available.
Instant-Gratification tracks for iTunes can be purchased individually on iTunes during the pre-order, and can be streamed on Apple Music as a pre-add. Anytime before a set release date, a song or music video with Instant-Gratification can be added to an album. Instant-Gratification track(s) will either download immediately after a fan makes a pre-order, or when the album officially releases.

Currently, UnitedMasters does not support Apple Music Pre-Adds or iTunes Instant-Gratification for DEBUT and SELECT memberships. However, you are still able to promote upcoming releases by utilizing your UnitedMasters MasterLinks! With MasterLinks, you can provide your fans with a centralized pre-save link that features Spotify and Apple Music that will automatically switch to a live link once your release becomes available on music services, so you won’t need to worry about swapping the link out once the release goes live!
We recommend placing MasterLinks anywhere that you connect with your fans - this can include being in Instagram/Facebook biographies, stories, or posts, linked in Snapchat stories, used in YouTube community posts, or placed in any other touchpoint that you have with your fans. Additionally, any traffic that a MasterLink gains will automatically be tracked and updated in the “Promote” tab of your account so you’re able to monitor your MasterLink activity!
Please check out our MasterLink FAQ for some more information on MasterLinks.
