A quick reference for terms and concepts you’ll encounter on BeatPass.

​
A

A milestone badge you unlock by reaching specific goals on BeatPass — such as uploading a certain number of tracks or earning a set amount of plays. Achievements are displayed on your profile. See Achievements.
A group of tracks bundled together under a single title and cover art. Producers create albums to organize related beats. Listeners can browse and like entire albums.
The public profile page for an approved producer on BeatPass. It can show a bio, discography, pinned track, gallery, professional credits, and follower-facing identity. See Producer Profiles.

​
B

A BeatPass label used for producer-facing routes such as uploads, application flows, and content-specific tools. The menu label shown to you can vary by account and configuration.
Content-level analytics for individual tracks, albums, or artist profiles. Shows plays, engagement, geographic data, and more. See Backstage Insights.
A feature that lets subscribers request custom beats from producers. Requests use tokens and include specifications like genre, BPM, and mood. See Beat Requests.
BeatPass bank payout setup powered by Wise. When it appears in Finances, it can receive eligible exclusive-sale payouts and any other earnings marked active for BEATPAY. See BEATPAY Bank Payouts.
The track identity record that combines an audio fingerprint with licensing, Sample-Safe status, AI disclosure when available, and promised exclusive deliverables. It helps connect licenses to the audio and terms they cover. See BeatPassID.

​
C

A curated feed of content on BeatPass, organized by genre, mood, or theme. Channels are updated automatically or by editors. See Channels.
When multiple producers are credited on the same track. Collaborators share the track’s contribution value equally. Collaborative tracks appear on each credited producer’s profile.
A calculated score that determines how much subscription revenue a track earns. It factors in time decay, popularity (plays), and collaboration splits. See Contribution System.
The image displayed alongside a track or album. Producers can upload custom artwork or use BeatPass cover art templates. See Cover Art.

​
D–E

The main public producer-profile view that can combine pinned tracks, popular and new beats, albums, about information, and professional credits.
A one-time license defined by the track’s purchase preview and certificate. It stops new licensing after purchase, while valid licenses issued earlier remain in effect. See Exclusive Licenses.
Points earned by producers for actions like uploading tracks, earning plays, and completing metadata. XP determines your producer level and unlocks achievements. See XP System.

​
F–G

The default non-paid BeatPass account state. Free accounts can browse, stream, like, and build playlists, but licensed downloads require a paid plan. See Plans & Pricing.
See BeatPassID. The unique acoustic signature generated for each uploaded track.
The time between cancelling a subscription and losing access. During the grace period, you keep all plan features and can resume your subscription without resubscribing.
A channel dedicated to a specific music genre, such as Trap, R&B, or Lo-Fi. See Genre Channels.

​
L

Rankings that compare producers across the current leaderboard categories exposed by BeatPass. See Leaderboards.
Your account-linked collection area for saved tracks, collections, producer pages, listening history, beat requests, licenses, and related personal content. See Your Library.
A verifiable document that proves your right to use a beat. Contains track details, license terms, the BeatPassID fingerprint, and a unique verification URL. See License Certificates.

​
N–P

A license granted automatically when a subscriber downloads a beat. Multiple artists can license the same beat. Terms are standardized by BeatPass. See Downloads & Licensing.
A license without a scheduled end date. It remains valid after subscription cancellation unless BeatPass later marks the certificate revoked under the applicable terms.
A track a producer highlights at the top of their producer profile. Only one track can be pinned at a time.
A transparent fee currently shown as 12% + $3.00 flat on eligible paid BeatPass checkouts, including subscriptions and exclusive track purchases. On exclusive purchases, the producer receives 100% of their listed price. See Platform Fee.
The career-level management hub for producers. Includes catalog management, earnings, activity tracking, progress, and leaderboards. See Producer Dashboard.
A portfolio feature on producer profiles where producers can showcase Spotify-linked work released outside BeatPass. See Professional Credits.

​
Q–R

The temporary list of upcoming tracks in the player. You can add, remove, and reorder tracks in the queue. The queue resets when you close the app. See Queue & Playback.
An automatic recommendation feature that generates a playlist of similar tracks based on a seed track, album, or artist. See Radio.
Sharing someone else’s track or playlist onto your public profile activity surfaces. See Reposts.

​
S

A producer-set clearance status that tells BeatPass whether a beat is marked Cleared or Needs Clearance. It is self-certification, not an automatic legal guarantee from BeatPass. See Sample-Safe.
A legacy payout setup. Producers who connected Stripe in the past keep receiving payouts through it until their BEATPAY bank setup is active; new Stripe accounts can no longer be connected. See Stripe Connect (Legacy).
A user with a paid BeatPass plan (Classic, Plus, or Pro). Subscribers can download beats with non-exclusive licenses, create beat requests, and access premium features.

​
T–V
