Earlier this year, the creators of Limited Run announced a brand new, self-serve, download card service, called Card Included. As you know, Card Included made download cards incredibly easy and affordable. Within minutes you could design a card, upload your music, and download a ready-to-print PDF of all your cards. It didn’t matter if you needed 25 or 2500, Card Included was there, ready to go.

Today, we’re happy to announce that we’ve stepped it up again, with five huge improvements.

Lossless Audio Uploads & Multi-Format Downloads

You now have the option of uploading your lossless audio files, rather than a single zip. When you upload lossless, we’ll automatically convert it to a bunch of great formats and let your fans pick which they want to download.

Any Website as Your Download Page

You can now make any website be the page your fans see when downloading. After they download, the site will be there waiting for them. Have the page be the news section of your website. Or your store. Maybe you have a pre-order you want to promote. Anything is possible.

Expanded Social Links on Custom Pages

Although we’ve added the embedded website feature, you can still choose to make a custom download page instead. And if you’re using a custom page, you’ll be happy to know that we’ve added a slew of new links you can add like: YouTube, Blogger, WordPress, Last.fm and more.

Shorter Download URLs

We’ve significantly reduced the size of our download URLs. Where your fans used to have type 15 character codes, they now only have to type 5 characters.

Reorders

Need another run of cards? No problem! Just click the link in your confirmation email, and enter the number of cards you need. That’s it!

We’re extremely proud of these recent changes. Card Included used to be the only self-serve download card service, now it’s also the only lossless audio download card service. It just keeps getting better. And the price is still just 1 penny per 20 MBs!
