Credit the author and composer’s full name in releases
In order to optimize your catalog’s monetization in the Digital Music Services, it is important to correctly credit your release’s author and composer.
In addition to improving your release’s referencing in the Stores, it allows for the Collecting Societies to identify the authors and composers correctly, making the distribution of their rights easier.
Please note that mentions such as Rights Reserved or Public Domain (as well as R.R, P.D., etc) is no longer accepted by our platform, blocking the delivery of your release. Group names or nicknames are also no longer accepted in these fields.
To avoid delays in your deliveries, please make sure to correctly credit the author and composer’s full name in your releases.
