Re-uploading a release that had already been live

Sometimes releases need to be re-uploaded, for example if they have outdated metadata or if you’re doing a catalog transfer between different distributors. To make the process as smooth as possible, we put together a quick checklist for you.

Keep in mind that it is not possible to make changes to releases with outdated metadata, the release needs to be re-uploaded.

Before you re-upload a release, make sure you have everything you need in the right formats:

  • Artwork has to be a perfect square with a size between 3000x3000px and 6000x6000px in .png or .jpeg. Read more about artworks here

  • Audio file(s) have to be wav-file, sample rate at 44,1 kHz, stereo and 16bit. The file name must end with .wav

  • Have both the artwork and audio files available on Dropbox, iCloud or Google Drive if you are uploading through the Amuse mobile apps.

  • Make sure to gather your original ISRC’s, they’re listed in your Amuse release overview.

Here are some things to keep in mind specifically when re-uploading a release that has already been live:

  • Reusing the same metadata, including ISRC, will enable your release to keep most of its DSP data, such as stream count.

  • Get the credits on each track to follow the format required in the release app flow.

  • Add the same artists, release and track title(s) that you’ve used on the previous upload.

  • If your track is a remix of somebody else’s original song, make sure to add yourself as remixer, not as a main/secondary primary or featuring artist.
