To complete the publishing process, you must agree to our terms and conditions and click on the button "Publish now". The relevant information (e.g. release date and price model) will be summarized once again in this step. Please note: The release can only be finalised and sent in for review as soon as we have received the money for the release. It can take a few days until we receive the money if you choose Klarna as payment method. Please take this into account if you are aiming for a specific release date and check yourself whether the money has been received and you can therefore finalise the release. Only when you have finalised the release will it be checked and delivered.
Here you can find a short explanation of all relevant metadata.
After you have completed all steps, your release is being inspected by our quality check. If everything is in order, the release will be delivered to the digital stores within a few working days - ready for take-off!
If problems arise, you will receive an email from our quality check team and get the chance to correct your release accordingly. Please note that you have to close the release again ("Publish now") so that we can deliver it to the stores.
As soon as your release is delivered an artist page will be created in the stores - if not already available. Here you will find all the necessary information on how to verify the artist page afterwards.
Good to know: Your uploads and all the data you entered will be saved, so you can pause and continue the upload and editing process any time. Simply click on "My Music" and open the "Incomplete" tab to finish your planned release. You can also make changes to your release at any time, even if your release has already been delivered to the stores. Please note, however, that you must always close your release again after each change ("Publish now"). You can find more information here.
If you have any questions about the individual steps or entries in the release, please feel free to write to us at [email protected] or contact us via the messenger at the bottom right.
