Share music without download

Let people listen in the browser without automatically downloading a file. TYFRA Vault share links support stream-first playback — ideal for demos, pitches, and feedback before you deliver masters.

Get started Back to Vault

Sometimes you need someone to hear the music — not automatically keep a copy. Share links in TYFRA Vault can be set so playback works in the browser while downloads stay off. That is useful for demos, approvals, and feedback before you are ready to hand over files.

Listen-only sharing vs sending a file

Email attachments and drive links often end with a file sitting in someone's downloads — wrong version, wrong stem, forwarded to the wrong person. A stream-first share keeps the experience focused: they press play, you retain control of whether a portable file leaves your ecosystem.

It is not a replacement for final delivery when collaborators need stems or masters — it is a gate for listening and conversation earlier in the process.

What no-download sharing is for in Vault

Pitches and first listens
Let A&R, publishers, or supervisors hear a reference without distributing a keeper file until terms are clear.
Feedback rounds
Collect reactions when the goal is notes on the mix — not everyone needing an offline copy.
Reducing accidental spread
Fewer files in inboxes means fewer forgotten copies that could leak or get out of sync with your master in Vault.

Pair with expiry and separate links

Listen-only works best alongside other controls: an expiry date so access does not run forever, and different links for different contacts when you might need to revoke one relationship without affecting another. That stack — listen-only plus expiry plus per-contact links — is how teams run tight pitch and feedback cycles without leaving stray masters in every inbox.

When downloads make sense

When collaborators need stems, alternate mixes, or offline playback in a studio, enable downloads or use project-based collaboration — no-download links are not a substitute for delivery. Your Vault catalog still holds the definitive files either way.

FAQ

Common questions

No — listen-only sharing reduces casual copying and makes the bar higher, but it is not DRM. Treat it as access control for trusted recipients, not a guarantee against determined capture. Combine with short link expiry and separate links per contact when sensitivity is high.

For early listens, label or sync pitches, and feedback rounds where you want someone to hear the work in context but not walk away with a master file. It keeps your Vault copy authoritative and reduces stray copies in downloads folders.

Playback is streamed in the browser from your Vault asset. Recipients get a proper listening experience without automatically receiving a file to keep — subject to their device and connection.

Yes. You control download permission when you create or edit the share settings for that link. You can issue a new link with different rules if the relationship changes.

Listening through a share link does not require a TYFRA account. Some flows (e.g. certain comments) may ask people to sign in.
