Learn StreamPush handles 5,000+ song catalogs with no limits
Yes, StreamPush handles catalogs of 5,000+ songs with no size limits. Clients currently run streams with 5,000, 10,000, and 20,000+ track catalogs. Storage is unlimited as part of the managed service. Larger catalogs benefit more from smart playlists, which automate programming that would be impossible to curate manually at this scale. Performance remains consistent regardless of catalog size, and DDEX integration means your entire catalog syncs automatically from your distributor.
- Store unlimited tracks with no per-song limits or storage caps limiting catalog size
- Use smart playlists to program large catalogs automatically based on metadata filters
- Sync your entire catalog via DDEX integration with initial import in 24-48 hours
Large catalog implementation
Rights organizations and catalog holders often manage extensive libraries accumulated over decades. A heritage label might have 10,000+ tracks spanning 30 years of releases. Traditional streaming setups struggle with catalogs at this scale due to storage limitations, upload complexity, and manual programming burden. StreamPush addresses these challenges with unlimited storage, automated DDEX import, and smart playlists that make large catalog programming practical. Without these capabilities, a 5,000-track catalog would require manual curation that no team can sustain. StreamPush makes the entire catalog available for streaming while smart playlists ensure varied programming without repetitive loops.
Unlimited storage included
StreamPush includes unlimited storage for all catalog sizes. There are no per-track limits, storage tiers, or capacity caps. Upload 5,000 tracks or 50,000 tracks with no difference in performance. This operating model makes StreamPush suitable for rights organizations with large legacy catalogs. You never need to trim your catalog to fit storage constraints.
Smart playlists scale with your catalog
Manual playlist curation becomes impractical with thousands of tracks. StreamPush smart playlists solve this by filtering your catalog automatically based on metadata. Set rules for genre, mood, release date, BPM, or custom tags. The system programs your stream from matching content without manual track selection. As your catalog grows, smart playlists automatically incorporate new content.
DDEX automation for large imports
Uploading 5,000+ tracks manually would be tedious and error-prone. StreamPush DDEX integration imports your entire catalog directly from your distributor. Initial sync typically completes within 24-48 hours regardless of catalog size. After initial import, new releases sync automatically. This automation is essential for managing catalogs at scale.
Consistent performance at scale
StreamPush architecture maintains consistent performance regardless of catalog size. Search and filtering remain fast with large catalogs. Smart playlist evaluation runs efficiently even with complex rules across thousands of tracks. Stream output quality is unaffected by catalog size. The platform is designed for enterprise-scale catalogs from the ground up.
| Concern | StreamPush approach | Typical limitation |
|---|---|---|
| Storage | Unlimited, included | Per-GB or capped storage |
| Upload process | DDEX automation | Manual file-by-file upload |
| Catalog organization | Smart playlists with metadata | Manual folder structures |
| Performance | No degradation at scale | Slowdown with large libraries |
| New releases | Automatic via DDEX | Manual addition required |
Large catalogs in production
StreamPush serves clients with catalogs ranging from hundreds to tens of thousands of tracks. Armada Music manages an extensive catalog spanning decades of trance releases. Defected Records has built a 25-year house music library. These organizations require platforms that handle scale without performance degradation or programming complexity. StreamPush smart playlists and DDEX integration make large catalog streaming practical.
| Metric | Change |
|---|---|
| Catalog size limit | None (unlimited) |
| Storage included | Unlimited |
| Initial DDEX sync | 24-48 hours typical |
| Smart playlist scale | Handles 20,000+ tracks |
| Per-track limits | None |
| Performance impact | None at scale |

Managing large catalogs on StreamPush
Large catalog streaming requires thoughtful organization and automated programming. StreamPush provides the tools to make extensive libraries manageable and to ensure varied, engaging streams without manual track selection.
Organizing content with metadata
Effective large catalog management starts with consistent metadata. Tag tracks with genre, mood, energy level, BPM, and any custom attributes relevant to your programming. This metadata powers smart playlists that filter your catalog automatically. DDEX deliveries typically include baseline metadata from your distributor. StreamPush lets you enrich this data with additional tags for more precise filtering. The investment in metadata organization pays off in programming flexibility.
Key metadata for large catalogs
Genre and sub-genre tags for primary filtering
Mood and energy attributes for curation
Release date for featuring new content
Custom tags for label-specific categorization
Smart playlist strategies at scale
With thousands of tracks, smart playlists become essential. Create playlists that filter by multiple criteria: recent releases in specific genres, high-energy tracks from the past year, deep cuts from your heritage catalog. Combine filters to create varied programming that would be impossible to maintain manually. StreamPush evaluates playlist rules across your entire catalog, automatically including content that matches. As your catalog grows, programming adapts without manual updates.

New releases from the last 90 days
Classic tracks by energy level
Genre-specific programming rotations
