Feedtracks — Product Tour

Welcome to Feedtracks, your collaborative workspace for organizing, sharing and discussing audio content.
This guide gives an overview of what you can do inside Feedtracks, distilled directly from how the application behaves in code and tests.

1. Drives & Folders

Each user owns a private Drive (your personal root folder).
Inside a drive you can create unlimited nested Folders to structure your files and playlists.

What you can do

Create, rename or delete folders.
Move folders anywhere within the same drive.
Share a folder to someone else’s drive (it is duplicated and all inner items become references so the other user immediately sees them).

Storage indicator – every folder shows its cumulative size so you always know how much space you are using.
Your plan defines a total storage allowance (e.g. 1 GB in the standard plan).

2. Tracks (Files)

A Track is any file you upload.
Feedtracks distinguishes audio (MP3, WAV…) from other files so music‑specific features apply where relevant.

Upload

Drag‑and‑drop or use the Upload button inside any folder.
File size is shown instantly; storage is updated in real time.

After upload you can

Play the audio (for supported formats).
Move or share the track to any other folder or drive.
Delete it (moves to trash if your plan supports it).

When total storage goes beyond your subscription limit the newest files are still accepted but flagged for automatic deletion in 30 days. You’ll see a countdown badge on them.

Video: The persistent audio player lets you continue listening while navigating through folders. Upload any audio format and get instant file size information.

3. Playlists

A Playlist gathers multiple audio tracks in a chosen order.

Create

From any folder, click New Playlist.
Give it a title and optional cover art.

Populate

Move or drag audio files into the playlist (only audio files are allowed).
One file cannot be added twice to the same playlist.
A playlist can be moved like any other item but cannot be nested inside another playlist.

Limits & expiration

A playlist has its own size limit (e.g. 250 MB). Above that, the playlist is automatically marked expired and becomes read‑only.
You can manually set or clear an expiry date while editing the playlist.

Video: Creating sequential playlists with reordering capabilities. Perfect for organizing mix versions, session recordings, or arranging tracks in playback order for client review.

4. Shared Drives & Collaboration

A Shared Drive is a special folder that lets several people work in the same workspace.
It appears alongside your personal drive with a group icon.

Create

Click New Shared Drive from the drive selector and name it (optional).

Invite people

Enter their email address and pick a role:

Role	Permissions
Admin	Everything: rename the drive, add / remove members, change roles, delete items.
Editor	Upload, move, delete items, create playlists, comment. Cannot manage members.
Viewer	Browse and comment only.

Invited people see the drive immediately. If they don’t yet have a Feedtracks account we create a temporary profile so they can join in one click.

Storage counting – all files inside a Shared Drive count against the owner’s storage quota; other members’ quotas are untouched.

Leaving – collaborators can leave anytime; their comments remain so the discussion history is preserved.

Video: Seamless collaboration with artists, producers, and clients through shared drives. Set different access levels to control who can edit or only listen to your mixes.

5. Profile & Communication Settings

Open Profile → Notifications to tell Feedtracks which emails you want to receive.

Toggled	When you’ll get an email
Upload	Someone uploads to your drive
Comment	Someone comments on your tracks
Reply	Someone replies to your comments
Weekly Stats	Monday recap of your playlists

Guests never receive emails until they register.
You can also change your avatar and username from the profile page.

6. Comments & Replies

Spark conversations directly on the waveform.

Comment

While playing a track, pause at any timestamp and hit Add Comment.
Type your message; everyone with access to the track will see it.

Reply

Click a comment bubble to open the thread and add your reply.

Video: Precision timestamped commenting on the waveform lets clients and collaborators pinpoint specific moments in your mix for feedback. No more vague "around 1:30" references.

7. Dashboard & Statistics

The Dashboard gives you an instant overview of your account:

Storage bar indicating used and remaining space.
Total number of tracks, playlists and comments you own.
“Most played” – top 5 tracks across your playlists over the last 7 days.
List of Shared Drives you belong to and pending invitations.
Quick links to recently opened items.

Everything updates in real time.
Turn on Weekly Stats in your notifications to receive the same figures every Monday.

Video: Track which parts of your mixes are being played most often and gather comprehensive playback statistics. Analyze listener behavior to understand what elements resonate with your audience.

Need to reorganise? Use the Move / Share action available in context menus.

Action	Same drive	Different drive
Move	Item is relocated; previous location is emptied	Item is relocated; all references in the old drive are removed
Share	‑	Creates a reference in the target drive while the original stays where it was

Rules enforced by Feedtracks:

You can’t move a track or folder onto a track (tracks are leaf nodes).
Folders & files can’t be moved into a playlist; only audio files may be.
A playlist can’t be inside another playlist.
Attempting to share the same item twice in the same folder shows an informative error.

Video: Share your mixes and projects between workspaces with intuitive drag-and-drop. References maintain the original audio quality without duplicating storage space.

9. Guest → Full Account Migration

Guests can explore Feedtracks without signing up.
When they finally create an account, all their folders, playlists, tracks, comments, replies and even play history migrate automatically.

If the migration would push you over your plan’s storage quota, the imported tracks are still transferred but flagged for deletion in 30 days so nothing is lost.

10. Storage & Expiration Cheatsheet

Feature	What it means
Storage limit	Hard cap; new uploads beyond this are kept for 30 days then deleted.
Playlist size limit	Per‑playlist limit; exceeding playlists are marked expired and become read‑only.
Default expiration	Default lifespan for guest playlists; can be overridden when creating a playlist.

11. Frequently Asked Questions

What file types are supported?
Any file can be stored, but only audio files unlock playback and playlist features.

Can I recover an expired playlist?
Yes. Renew your storage plan and then click Activate on the playlist.

How do shared items affect my storage?
Sharing does not duplicate the file size; the owner’s storage is counted, recipients just get a reference.

Enjoy organising, sharing and discussing your tracks with Feedtracks!
