What Are Album Pages?
In Squarespace version 7.0, album pages provide a specialised platform to showcase audio files, like music tracks. This feature enhances audio presentation, making it perfect for musicians and audio content creators.
Important note: This guide applies only to Squarespace 7.0. If you're using Squarespace 7.1, you'll need to use audio blocks on regular pages instead.
Setting Up Your Album
Creating a New Album Page
- Go to the Pages panel and click the '+' icon
- Choose 'Album' from the menu and title your new page
- To add or change the album title later, simply edit the 'Album Title' box which initially displays your page title
Adding Album Details and Art
- Drag your desired image into the 'Add Album Art' box or use the file uploader to select a file
- You can upload images in .jpg, .png, or .gif formats
- Under "Album Info," specify the artist's name and add a description which can include social media links or any related details
Managing Tracks and Sharing
Uploading and Organising Tracks
- Click 'Add Track' to open the Edit Track window and upload your files (.mp3 or .m4a)
- Arrange the track order by dragging items in the Album panel
- To move a track between albums, you'll need to re-upload it to the new location
Social Media Integration
- Set up social sharing by selecting social media platforms to update automatically when a track is published
- Make sure each track's status is set to 'Published' for successful sharing
Pixelhaze Tip: When positioning your album in your Squarespace site, consistency is key. Use the site-wide style settings to make sure your album design matches your overall website look.

Wrapping Up
Using Squarespace's album pages in version 7.0 allows you to showcase and manage your audio content efficiently. With a limit of 60 tracks per page, plenty of customisation options, and straightforward social media sharing, these pages can significantly improve how your site presents music.
Remember, this feature is specific to Squarespace 7.0. If you're on 7.1, you'll get better results using audio blocks on regular pages. Make sure your album matches your overall site design for the best user experience.
