Editorial Collections

Understand BeatPass editorial collections, who controls them, and what inclusion means for producers.

Editorial collections are BeatPass-curated catalog surfaces used for staff selections, themed discovery, and featured moments. They are different from producer-managed albums and user-created playlists.

What Editorial Inclusion Means

• BeatPass administrators choose and manage the tracks in an editorial collection.
• A producer does not need to move a track out of its original album or collection.
• Editorial inclusion does not transfer ownership, change the track’s license settings, or alter its original credits.
• A track can appear in an editorial collection and its regular producer-managed release at the same time.

Who Can Create or Edit One

Editorial collection creation and curation are administrative BeatPass actions. Producer access does not include controls for creating, editing, or guaranteeing placement in these collections.

Editorial Collection vs. Album vs. Playlist

Surface	Managed by	Primary purpose	Changes the original release?
Producer album / collection	The producer or release owner	Publish a grouped release	It is the original release structure
Playlist	A user or invited playlist collaborators	Save and sequence tracks for listening	No
Editorial collection	BeatPass administrators	Curate tracks for platform discovery	No

What Producers Should Do

• Keep artwork, credits, genres, tags, and descriptions accurate.
• Maintain the original track and collection instead of creating duplicates for editorial use.
• Treat editorial inclusion as discovery exposure, not as a promise of plays, revenue, or future placement.
