Easy access Catalogs for music supervisors

With the Easy access setting, users with a DISCO Catalog can set their Catalogs to allow login/download access to any vetted music supervisor on DISCO with no invite or approval process needed!

At a glance

We built this feature to make it easier for supervisors to find great music through Catalogs and download Tracks or save them to their DISCO (using the Save to DISCO button). This helps speed up the process of pitching and using Tracks when on a tight timeline.
By default, Catalogs are not set to Easy access. New Catalogs will still be set to ‘Private’ by default and existing Catalogs will retain their current settings. Catalog owners must enable the Easy access setting manually.

Using Discover Music to browse Easy access Catalogs

Supervisors on DISCO have access to a tool in their Discovery Suite called Discover Music.

On the Discover Music page, there is a section to Browse Catalogs which includes an Easy access toggle. Set this toggle to ON to browse through a feed of all Catalogs on DISCO that have Easy access enabled, plus any others that you've been invited to or been approved to access.

Privacy and security

Catalog Clients list

To protect supervisor privacy, supervisors accessing Catalogs under easy access permissions will not be listed by name or email in that Catalog owner's Clients list in their Catalog Settings. Instead, they’ll appear as ‘Company name – Supervisor A’ or ‘Company Name – Supervisor B’ with no email:

However, if the supervisor was already invited or had requested access to a Catalog, they'll appear as normal with their name and email.

Also, if they had access to a Catalog via Easy access, but are later invited directly to a Catalog via email, their name/email would then be displayed.

❗️ Important: This means that previous activity within the Catalog will be associated back to the supervisor's real identity as a client of the Catalog.

Stats

Supervisors appear in stats in the same way as they do in Clients lists: they are anonymized if accessing under easy access.

Opting out of the easy access group

Supervisors can opt out of being in the easy access group. To do this:

  1. Go to your Discover Music page.
  2. On the top-right corner of the page (next to the Create new Catalog button), open the ellipses menu (…).
  3. Select Opt out of easy access.
