What Happens After I Submit My Music To iMusician?

Here’s what happens right after you've paid and submitted your order:

1. The Quality Check

After submitting your music to us, your release goes through a careful quality check by our team:

We make sure that all the metadata you’ve filled in (e.g. the artist names, track titles, contributors, etc.) is accurate and complies with the shops’ guidelines.
We make sure that your audio files meet the different streaming services’ requirements.
We make sure that your artwork alogns with the different streaming services’ requirements.
We make sure that all copyrights attached to the music and artwork are correctly attributed, especially in cases of samples, collaborations, or covers.

If any issues are found, the release will be put on hold and our team will notify you via email so that you can make the necessary corrections. Make sure to address the corrections as soon as possible if you want to avoid delaying the release date!

💡Pro Tip: If you’re planning a release on a specific date, we recommend submitting your release at least two weeks in advance to address any potential issue!

2. The Delivery

Once your release passes the quality check, we deliver it to the digital stores and streaming platforms you’ve selected. From that moment until the release date, you will have the option to pitch your track on Spotify and share your pre-save links to promote your upcoming release with your fans!

3. The Release Date

On the release day you selected, all stores will start uploading your music to their respective platforms (the time it take varies from shop to shop). You’ll find some links to the main stores in your Release Page and once your music starts generating some streams, you'll see some analytics appear on your iMusician dashboard to help you keep track of your music's performance.

In case you’re wondering:

How long does it take for my release to go live? -> It depends on the release date you choose, the type of delivery, whether or not you’ve chosen to pitch your tracks, and the number of releases our team needs to check during that specific period.
What happens if there’s an issue with my release? -> If there is any issue during the quality check (e.g. some incorrect metadata), you’ll receive a notification with instructions on how to fix them. Make sure to address them as soon as possible to avoid delaying the release date.
Can I make changes after I’ve submitted my release? -> Yes, you can request changes directly from your dashboard. However, keep in mind that certain things cannot be modified!
