Start NowApple Music ingests new releases through approved distributors that deliver audio, artwork, and metadata in Apple’s required formats. Once received, Apple runs automated and manual checks to verify quality, rights ownership, and guideline compliance before making the music available to users globally.
Apple Music expects high resolution audio files, clean metadata, and square cover art that meets size and content guidelines. Issues such as low quality images, mismatched titles, or copyright concerns can delay or block a release during Apple’s validation process.
Yes. Changes such as correcting metadata, updating artwork, or modifying territories are done through the artist’s distributor. Apple applies those updates after reprocessing the delivery, ensuring the corrected information replaces the previous version without impacting streams or playlist placements.
Apple provides Apple Music for Artists, a dashboard where musicians can track streams, listener demographics, playlist activity, and Shazam data. Access is granted once the artist verifies their identity and claims their profile, giving insight into how their music performs across the Apple ecosystem.
Apple Music allows clean, explicit, acoustic, remastered, and alternate versions as long as each version is correctly labeled and uniquely identified through metadata and ISRCs. Explicit releases must follow Apple’s content guidelines to ensure parental controls and regional restrictions function correctly.
