How the Catalog works in details

The Catalog is the foundation of repertoire management in details. It combines a music-specific track layer with a flexible product model that can represent physical items, digital goods, merchandise, tickets, and services.

Key idea: Sales happen on Products and Tracks. Releases compile results with costs.

Four levels

  1. Labels – Top-level containers grouping releases.
  2. Releases – Organize products and tracks (albums, EPs, etc.).
  3. Products – Sellable items (physical, digital, merch, services).
  4. Tracks – Individual recordings for granular accounting.

Because details is product-agnostic, you can model anything you can sell.

Where sales happen

  • Product sales – money exchanged for products
  • Track sales – money exchanged for tracks

Releases are not sold; they aggregate results.

Where costs live

  • Release costs – artwork, promo, video
  • Product costs – manufacturing, packaging, etc.

Entry modes

  • Manual entry
  • Spreadsheet import
  • Auto-Ingestion

Auto-Ingestion channels

  • Webshops, Bandcamp, iTunes, Amazon
  • details-to-details automated transfers
