Saving albums

How do I add an album?

Tap the + button and search by album or artist, or paste a link from Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Deezer, TIDAL or Bandcamp. On iPhone you can also share an album to b/side from your music app’s share menu; on a computer, Settings > Save from other apps has a bookmark button that does the same.

A link didn’t find the right album

Pick the right one from the matches, or search for it instead. If it keeps happening with one album, send us the link and we’ll look into it.

An album has no cover or streaming links yet

b/side looks them up in the background after you add an album. Most arrive within a few minutes; rarer albums can take longer and some aren’t on every service.

Your data

Can I take my collection elsewhere?

Yes. Settings > Export your data gives you your albums and your listening history as CSV files, which open in any spreadsheet app.

How do I start over with an empty queue?

Settings > Start again clears your queue, library and history but keeps your account.

How do I delete my account?

Settings > Account > Delete account removes your account and everything in it straight away. It can’t be undone, so export first if you’d like a copy. Our privacy policy has the details.
