Requirements to distribute your music.
The DSPs (Spotify, Apple Music, TikTok and the rest) apply strict standards. Meeting them is mandatory — if your release does not comply, we cannot deliver it.
What you need
- · Audio files (no remixes or third-party recordings — your audio must be 100% original).
- · Cover art (artwork).
- · Metadata.
Audio files
We only accept WAV and MP3 files from 44.1 to 88.2 to 96 kHz, 16 to 24 bits, Stereo.

Cover art
Platforms like Spotify and Apple Music enforce strict policies. If your cover does not meet the standards we will not be able to distribute your release.
Artwork requirements

What we cannot accept
Metadata
It is important to list the names of all lyric and music composers.
The artist name must be written exactly as it appears on Spotify or Apple Music. If you are a new artist with no profile yet, choose your final spelling now — changing it later requires opening a support ticket.
Important: Failing to meet these requirements is the main reason DSPs reject releases. Reviewing the checklist before submitting saves you time and avoids takedowns.
