How to Create Locked Audio Content on UniLink

By UniLink Jun 26, 2026 2 min read

The Locked Audio App on UniLink lets you gate audio content behind a paywall so only paying listeners can access your exclusive tracks, meditations, or recordings.

What is the Locked Audio App?

The Locked Audio App enables musicians, podcasters, coaches, and audio creators to publish premium audio content that requires payment to unlock. Unlike selling a downloadable file, this app streams the audio in-browser after purchase, providing a seamless listening experience. It is perfect for exclusive podcast episodes, guided meditations, unreleased music, or private audio coaching sessions.

How to Enable the Locked Audio App

  1. Log in to UniLink Dashboard
  2. Go to Apps section
  3. Select Locked Audio and click Enable
  4. Upload your audio file and configure the unlock price

Features and Configuration

  • Browser-Based Audio Streaming — Paying listeners hear your audio directly in their browser without downloading any files.
  • Free Sample Playback — Allow a short snippet to play before the paywall kicks in to help visitors decide to purchase.
  • Cover Art Display — Upload a cover image to make your locked audio listing visually appealing.
  • Flexible Pricing — Set a one-time unlock price or offer subscription access to multiple locked audio pieces.
  • Buyer Email Capture — Collect purchaser emails automatically to grow your audience list.
  • Play Count Analytics — Track how many people have unlocked and listened to your audio content.

Best Practices

  • Offer a compelling free sample of at least 30 to 60 seconds so potential buyers can assess the quality before committing.
  • Use descriptive titles that clearly communicate the mood, topic, or outcome of the audio to attract the right audience.
  • Release new locked audio pieces on a regular schedule to encourage repeat purchases from existing fans.
