Hey everyone, Juan here, maker of MERITO.

Something I keep hearing from artists: you send a demo to ten labels, hear back from one, and have no idea whether the other nine even pressed play. So the follow-up becomes a blind "just checking in" three weeks later.

That's the problem I've been building around. MERITO launches here on Wednesday 23 September, and before that I'd love to hear how you handle it today:

• How do you send demos right now? Private SoundCloud, Dropbox, WeTransfer, something else?

• Do you follow up? When, and how?

• If you could see that a label played your second track for 90 seconds, would it change what you do next?

Hey Product Hunt

I'm Juan, solo founder of SpinningVinyl.

I built this because I kept watching producer friends pay $25/month for Adobe Premiere just to render one thing: a spinning vinyl video for their Spotify release. A full subscription for a 30-second loop. That always felt absurd to me.

SpinningVinyl does that one thing, in your browser, in under 2 minutes: Upload your cover art + audio Pick vinyl, CD jewel case, or Spotify Canvas style Export ready for Reels, TikTok, or Shorts

How do you create your spinning vinyl videos?

I created the solution ;)
