To ensure a smooth and error-free release process, follow these important guidelines when uploading your music on One Music Records:
1. Artist Name & Profile Mapping
Make sure the artist name is correct and consistent across all releases to avoid profile mismatches.
If you are a new artist, check if your name is already in use to prevent incorrect mapping.
2. Audio File Requirements
Upload high-quality WAV or FLAC files (16-bit/44.1kHz or higher).
Ensure the final mastered file is free from distortions, clipping, or background noise.
3. Metadata Accuracy
Double-check song titles, artist names, and featured artists to avoid corrections later.
Do not use extra symbols, emojis, or special characters unless necessary.
4. Cover Art Guidelines
The cover art should be minimum 3000x3000 pixels in PNG or JPG format.
Do not include logos of streaming platforms, social media handles, or misleading text.
Ensure the artwork is original and does not violate copyright policies.
5. Genre & Language Selection
Select the most appropriate primary and secondary genres for better discoverability.
Mention the correct language of the song to avoid incorrect categorization.
6. Featuring & Collaborations
If your song has a featured artist or additional singer, mention them properly in the "feat." field.
If the featured artist has an existing profile on Spotify or Apple Music, add their profile links in the "Additional Remarks" section to ensure the correct profile mapping.
Producers, lyricists, and composers should be credited under the correct sections.
7. Release Date & Pre-Save Option
Choose a realistic release date (minimum 7 days in advance for standard releases).
For pre-save campaigns, schedule your release at least 3-4 weeks in advance.
8. Copyright & Ownership
Ensure you have the legal rights to distribute the music.
Do not upload remixes, covers, or instrumentals of copyrighted content without proper licenses.
9. Store & Platform Selection
Carefully select the stores where you want your music to be distributed.
If you want a specific platform priority (Spotify, Apple Music, etc.), ensure proper metadata entry.
10. Final Review & Submission
Before submitting, review all details carefully to avoid delays due to corrections.
Once submitted, track your release status on the One Music Records Dashboard.
By following these guidelines, you can ensure a hassle-free distribution process and avoid common errors that may delay your release. 🚀
