Accounts & Saving

How to create an account, how your tracks are stored, and what the different library listings mean.

You can play with Jam Club without signing in, but an account is what turns a session into something that persists — your tracks, shareable links, collaboration and the AI features all hang off it.

Creating an account

Jam Club uses email and password accounts. Sign in from the widget in the header of any page; sessions are cookie-based, so you stay signed in across visits on the same browser.

When you sign up you do not start on a blank page — you get your own starter track to play with straight away, a private copy of the featured track that is yours to pull apart. It is a real track from the first second, so there is nothing to set up before you make noise.

Your work saves itself

There is no "hit Save to file it away" step. Once you are signed in, the track you are editing is yours — every instrument, parameter, pattern and note is stored on your account as you work, and it appears under Your music automatically. A track is the living document you are in, not a file you have to remember to write out.

The Save / Export controls still exist, but for a different job: taking a copy out of the app (a download) or publishing a track to the public gallery. See Visibility & Publishing for publishing.

Each track has a permanent URL that looks like:

/track/midnight-bassline-4kQx9r

The trailing identifier is what actually resolves the track; the words before it are a readable slug generated from the title. Renaming a track changes the slug, and the old URL permanently redirects to the new one, so links you have already shared keep working.

Your library

Your tracks are reachable from the avatar menu, and any track URL opens directly. The library is organised by who owns a track — not by how it is stored — so there are three listings:

  • Your music — every track you own, whether you started it from scratch, remixed it, or duplicated it. This is your library. It is at /tracks/mine.
  • Shared with you — tracks you have joined as an editor but do not own: a friend's shared link, or the Jam Club room if you joined it. Owning versus being a member is the only thing that separates these two lists. It is at /tracks/collaborations.
  • Explore — the public gallery of tracks anyone has published. No account needed. It is at /tracks.

For the ownership split in detail — and the row actions each list offers — see Your music & Shared with you.

Renaming, duplicating and deleting

From Your music you can rename a track inline, duplicate it into a fresh copy, or delete it. Duplication happens server-side, so copying a large track does not push the whole document through your browser. All three actions are owner-only.

Note: Deleting a track is permanent. If a track has collaborators, deleting it as the owner removes it for everyone.

What happens when you open a track someone shared

If someone sends you a link to their track, you will be asked to sign in before it loads. Once signed in you are added as an editor automatically, the track shows up under Shared with you, and you land straight in the session. Anonymous visitors see the track's title and a sign-in prompt, and nothing else — the track's contents are never sent to them.
