For me releases I tend to have a radio edit and a full version, as I'm doing long electronic dance music tracks,
I call the radio edit 'Song Title' and the original long version 'Song Title - Extended Mix'. I did this originally after getting feedback from playlist curators that I needed shorter edits of tracks, and seeing what more established artists do.
For my latest release I set up a toneden page with a link to the release, thinking then listeners can choose which version they want. Personally I'd always choose the extended mix if I was in their shoes as a fan of this sort of music.
I'm wondering though, would I be best to link to a particular track, probably the radio edit, because that would maximise listens on that one track. I'm getting high quality ratios for multiple streams per listener and saves, as well as follows, but would they be better concentrated on a single track, or is it OK for them to be spread across tracks on the release?
