About Premium Membership
Premium Membership FAQ
What is Premium Membership?
Premium Membership is a yearly add-on that gives you extra features on the Club platform. It launched on November 1, 2026.
Why are we adding Premium Membership?
Premium gives you more features and more ways to work with your songs, like unlimited playlists you can share. It also helps us cover the cost of storing songs. Every song on the platform needs to be stored, and as the Club’s library grows, so do those costs. Premium means the people making the most of that storage help sustain it, so we can keep the Club running well and keep building the platform.
What do I get with and without Premium?
With or without Premium, you can:
- Access your current group and your immediate past group while you’re in a term
- Keep access to your last group for an extra 10 weeks after your term ends, if you cancel or pause
- Download any songs you currently have access to
- Make one playlist
- Share your own songs outside the Club from your song submission page
With Premium Membership, you also get:
- Unlimited playlists you can share
- Multiple versions of songs
- Access to songs and groups from all earlier terms, and the ability to download those songs
- Access to your past comments
- A Premium member badge on your profile icon
- Other offers sent from time to time to Premium members
What can I do with these features?
- Playlists: Without Premium, you can make one playlist. With Premium, you get unlimited playlists you can share, so you can have one for every purpose. Make one for your producer, one for your album longlist, and one for songs you want to pitch to other artists and sync. And then share them!
- Multiple versions of songs (Premium): Songs change as you take on feedback from your group. Upload a new version of your track as it develops, and keep every version together in one place. When it’s finished, add the final mix, then drop it into a playlist for your next album and move things around to find the best running order.
- Access to all your past songs (Premium): Every song you’ve written in the Club, kept in one place. Revisit an old idea for an upcoming album, or download your demos so you have your own backup.
- Access to all your past groups and comments (Premium): Look back at the feedback you received and try it out before taking your song to the studio. Your past groups and comments become a record of your growth as a writer.
- Sharing songs outside the Club (all members): Share the story behind a released song by sending your original demo to your mailing list, without sending the audio file. It makes a great freebie to help grow your mailing list.
Is Premium Membership the same as a Club subscription or a course?
No. Premium Membership is a set of platform features, so it’s separate from your Club subscription and from any course. Think of it as a toolkit that sits alongside what you already do in the Club. Cancelling one doesn’t cancel the other.
Do I need Premium to be in the Club or join a course?
No. Premium is optional. You don’t need it to join the Club or a course, and you don’t need a Club subscription or course to have Premium. Premium doesn’t include a place in a group.
What can I access without Premium?
While you’re in a term, you have your current group and your immediate past group, which is the group from the term directly before. If you cancel or pause, you keep access to your last group for 10 weeks after your term ends, so you have time to finish your songs. Songs and groups from earlier terms are stored, and Premium unlocks them.
Will my songs be deleted if I don’t have Premium?
Not at this point. Songs from earlier terms are stored but hidden, and Premium unlocks them. Storing songs has an ongoing cost, so we’re asking members to support the Club by opting in to Premium, and we’ve added features so you can do more with your songs. In the future, songs may be removed if they aren’t covered by Premium. We’ll give you reasonable notice by email before we delete anything, so you have time to take out Premium Membership and download your songs.
Can I download my songs?
Yes. You can download any of your songs that you can currently access. Premium Membership also lets you access and download your songs from all earlier terms.
Can I share my songs outside the Club?
Yes, with or without Premium. Go to your song submission page and click the “share” button under your profile photo, then follow the prompts. You can share your own songs only, not other members’ songs or comments. Playlists you share outside the Club can include only your own songs.
How much is it, and how often is it billed?
Premium is A$99 per year, billed yearly through Stripe. It renews automatically each year on the anniversary of your purchase unless you unsubscribe before that date. If the price changes, we’ll let you know before it applies to your next year.
How do I become a Premium member?
Go to the Account tab and click through to purchase.
Can I join Premium just when I need it?
Yes. Premium is a yearly membership you can join anytime from the Account tab.
How do I see my renewal date?
Go to the Account tab. Under “Premium Membership” you’ll see your renewal date. We don’t send a renewal reminder, so we recommend noting the date in your calendar. If you don’t want your membership to renew, you can unsubscribe there at any time.
How do I cancel?
Go to the Account tab, and under “Premium Membership” choose “Manage subscription.” From there you can unsubscribe. You’ll keep your Premium access for the rest of your paid year. Premium can’t be paused. Cancelling Premium doesn’t cancel your Club subscription, and cancelling your Club subscription doesn’t cancel Premium.
How do I update my card details?
Go to the Account tab. Under “Premium Membership,” choose “Manage subscription” and follow the prompts to update your billing details.
Can I get a refund or a pro-rata option?
There is no pro-rata option for this subscription. Refunds aren’t available for a change of mind or for not using the features, so please decide on your options before your renewal date.
What happens to Premium if I delete my account?
Deleting your account deletes your songs and profile, and you won’t be refunded for any unused Premium time. Before you delete, download any songs you want to keep. Comments you’ve left on other members’ songs stay for the benefit of the person they were written for, but no longer show your name.
Will Premium features change?
We may add to or change Premium features over time. If we reduce what Premium includes in a way that matters, we’ll give you reasonable notice.
I joined through a partner organisation. Do I need Premium?
The same access rules apply to you. You can access your current group and your immediate past group, and after your participation ends you have 10 weeks to access your last group. Songs and groups from earlier terms need Premium Membership, which you purchase yourself.
