AUX File Recordings — Sacramento
One ruled file for every master and right.
Current releases and catalog titles to listen to and license
The releases and catalog page is where visitors can browse recordings connected to AUX File Recordings. It is organized for listeners who want to buy or stream a title and for partners who want to license music for a project. Each entry should be read as a record of a specific recording, with its title, artist information, and format details kept consistent across the catalog.
Start with the most recent releases, then move into earlier catalog titles. The catalog grows as new recordings are added, and older titles remain available where rights and format agreements allow.
The catalogue
How to browse the catalog
Independent music releases compete for attention alongside major-label catalogs and self-released titles. What separates a well presented independent release is not volume, it is accuracy. The title, credit, and format are correct, the audio is the agreed master, and the path to purchase or license is clear. That discipline is what the catalog is built to show.
Use the switcher below to step between the current release group and earlier catalog titles. The dominant cell and the rail number change together, and nothing advances on its own.
Dominant entry — read this first
The current release, presented as a record
A useful catalog entry names the recording and the credited artist, and it keeps the title spelling consistent with the audio file and cover art. Where the label supplies it, the entry may also show the release date and the rights contact for licensing.

Buying music downloads
A file you keep
A download purchase gives a listener a file they can keep, separate from a streaming subscription. The label's sales pages should state the format, price, and delivery method for each title at the point of purchase.
If a title is not available for direct purchase, the entry should say so plainly and point the visitor toward streaming or a licensing inquiry instead.
Direct sales and the Bandcamp model
Why a catalog page does work a streaming link cannot do
Direct-to-fan sales still matter in a streaming-first market. Bandcamp is widely used by independent artists and labels for digital downloads, vinyl, CDs, and merch, and it allows artists to set pricing and connect directly with fans. That model explains why a label catalog page presents the recording, the format, and the terms in one place.
For the listener, the benefit is clarity before money changes hands. For the artist, the benefit is a direct relationship that a stream count alone does not build.

Licensing a catalog title
Buying is not licensing
Licensing is different from buying a download. A license grants defined use, such as sync use in a video, for a set period and territory, in return for a fee. The label needs the project type, the planned use, the territory, and the term before it can respond with useful terms.
Choose a purchase when you want to listen. Choose a license when you want to use a recording or song in your own project. Confusing the two leads to delays, because a download does not carry sync or broadcast rights.
A short inquiry with the project type, planned use, territory, and term gets a better answer than a general request.
Contact for a specific title
Ask about the recording you need
When a visitor wants a title that is not listed for direct sale, the contact page is the right next step. Include the recording title, the artist name as credited, and what you want to do with it. That information lets the label check the catalog record and reply about availability, format, or licensing.
Also mention whether you are asking to buy a download, to stream, or to license the recording or song for a project. That one line decides which file the inquiry belongs in.
