FAQ

How does Spotify receive music from artists and labels?

+

Spotify doesn’t accept direct uploads from artists; instead, it relies on approved distributors to deliver audio, metadata, and artwork. Once a release is submitted, Spotify processes and verifies the files before adding the music to its global streaming catalogue and playlist ecosystem.

How does Spotify classify and organize new releases?

+

Spotify uses metadata such as genre, mood, tempo, and artist information to categorize tracks. This helps the platform recommend music through personalized algorithms, place songs in editorial or algorithmic playlists, and improve discovery for listeners worldwide.

What tools does Spotify offer artists to track performance?

+

Spotify for Artists provides analytics on streams, listener demographics, playlist placements, and real-time performance for newly released tracks. Artists can also update their public profile, add images, and highlight featured songs through the hub.

Can artists control how their music appears on Spotify?

+

Yes. Artists can update their profile, add bios, feature playlists, and change images using Spotify for Artists. Release-level details, such as titles, credits, or artwork, must be updated through the distributing partner, who sends corrected metadata back to Spotify.

How does Spotify handle multiple audio formats or alternate versions of tracks?

+

Spotify accepts various versions, such as remixes, live recordings, and acoustic cuts, as long as each version has its own ISRC and accurate metadata. Proper labeling ensures that listeners can distinguish between versions and helps Spotify deliver correct recommendations and playlist placements.
