Do I keep my DISCO links if I use FSM?

Yes. Your tracks and their DISCO links stay exactly where they are. FSM does not move or re-host your audio. When FSM drafts a pitch, you build a DISCO playlist of the surfaced tracks and drop that DISCO link into the email, so supervisors still stream from the DISCO experience they already trust.

What does FSM do that DISCO doesn't?

DISCO is built around hosting, organizing, and sharing a catalog. FSM is built around the brief itself: it reads each incoming brief, ranks your whole catalog by fit, drafts a tailored pitch email, and tracks every submission across active, in consideration, and licensed. It's the workflow layer for catalog managers, sync agents, and publishers responding to briefs at volume.

FSM + DISCO

FSM works with DISCO, not against it.

Q: Is FSM a DISCO alternative?

Not really — FSM is DISCO-friendly and works alongside DISCO rather than replacing it. DISCO hosts, organizes, and shares your catalog. FSM is the brief-to-pitch layer one step upstream: it reads an incoming sync brief, ranks your catalog by fit against mood, tempo, key, genre and theme, and drafts the pitch email. You build a DISCO playlist from the tracks FSM surfaced and paste that DISCO link into the draft. If you searched for a DISCO alternative because pitching feels slow, FSM is usually the missing piece, not a replacement for DISCO.

If you landed here looking for a "DISCO alternative," you probably don't need to leave DISCO — you need the part DISCO was never built to do. DISCO hosts, organizes, and shares your catalog. FirstSend Music (FSM) is the brief-to-pitch layer that sits one step upstream and feeds straight back into your DISCO workflow.

The honest version

DISCO is one of the best catalog managers in sync — a clean home for your tracks, smart playlists, password-protected shares, and (with its Discovery Suite) auto-tagging and similarity search. Sync agents, catalog managers, publishers, and supervisor teams live in it for good reason.

What it isn't built for is the moment a brief lands: reading that brief, deciding which of your tracks actually fit, and writing the pitch. That's still a manual scramble across spreadsheets, your memory of the catalog, and a blank email. That gap is exactly what FSM fills — and then it hands the work back to DISCO to deliver.

How the workflow fits together

Your catalog lives in DISCO

Tracks, metadata, and their DISCO links stay exactly where they are. FSM never re-hosts your audio.

A brief comes in — FSM reads it

Paste the brief into FSM. It parses mood, tempo, key, genre, and theme, then ranks your whole catalog by fit and surfaces the best matches.

FSM drafts the pitch

A tailored, professional pitch email written around the brief and the matched tracks — ready to edit and send.

You build the DISCO playlist and send

Make a DISCO playlist from the tracks FSM surfaced, paste that DISCO link into the FSM draft, and send. Supervisors stream from the DISCO experience they already trust.

FSM tracks the submission

Every pitch is logged and tracked across active, in consideration, and licensed — so follow-ups and your pipeline stay organized.

Who does what

Job	DISCO	FSM
Host & organize the catalog	DISCO	—
Shareable listening links & playlists	DISCO	generates its own link too
Read an incoming brief	—	FSM
Rank the catalog by fit to the brief	—	FSM
Draft the pitch email	—	FSM
Track submissions & pipeline	—	FSM

Put simply: DISCO is where your music lives; FSM is how a brief becomes a sent pitch. Use them together and the brief-to-send loop goes from an afternoon to minutes.

So is FSM a DISCO alternative?

Only if your real problem was never hosting — it was the pitching. FSM doesn't compete with DISCO's catalog and sharing; it removes the manual brief-reading, matching, and email-writing in front of it. Keep DISCO. Add the layer that makes every brief faster to answer.
