Accurate metadata is essential for successful music distribution. It identifies your release, helps streaming services display the correct information and ensures royalties are attributed correctly.

Typical Metadata

  • Release title
  • Primary artist
  • Featured artists
  • Song titles
  • Composer and songwriter credits
  • Genre and language
  • Release date
  • UPC and ISRC codes (where applicable)

Best Practices

  • Keep artist names consistent across every release.
  • Double-check spelling before publishing.
  • Use accurate release dates.
  • Review all credits before final submission.

Before Publishing

Always review every metadata field before distributing your release. Small mistakes can delay publication or create duplicate artist profiles on streaming services.
