When you reach the "Track" section of the upload form, you will need to enter specific information for each track of your upload before submitting your release to services.

Information Required for Each Track

Song title

Enter the title of the track in the "Song title" section, without version information or the names of additional artists. Version information and additional artists will be added in later sections of the track menu.

Parenthetical information is okay, as long as it is part of the title and not used to indicate an additional artist or version information. For example, the title of Good Riddance (Time of your Life) by Green Day includes parenthetical information that is not an additional artist or version information for the song.

Add featured artist to song title?

The "Add featured artist to song title?" section can be used if you want to add a featured artist, remixer, or additional primary artist to a track.

For a single, you can only add Remixers or Featured Artists under this section. If your single is a collaboration between two artists, please enter the two artist names as a collaboration in the "Artist/band name" section at the top of the upload form.

For a release with any more than one track, you will also have the option for an "Additional primary artist."

If you need to add more than one additional artist to your track, simply click on the “Add another featured artist” button.

You can select Remixer, Featured artist, or Additional primary artist from the dropdown menu. Once you have selected the additional artist's role, please enter the name of the artist. You can enter pre-existing artist pages for Spotify, Apple, and YouTube Music for all artists added this way in the Artist Mapping section of the upload form.

Add "version" info to song title?

The "Add 'version' info to song title?" section can be used to specify any version information that should be included in parentheses for the track. Common versions include:

• Live

• Acoustic

• Radio Edit

• Remix

• [Remixer] Remix

• [Genre] Remix

Audio file

The "Audio file" section is where you can select the audio file for your track. Check out this article for more information on accepted audio file types.

Dolby Atmos/Spatial audio

Songwriter

In the "Songwriter" section, you will indicate whether the song is an original song or a cover song.

Songwriter(s) real name

The "Songwriter(s) real name" section is where you will need to list the songwriter(s) real name for original songs. Check out this article for more information on entering songwriter names.

Cover Song

If you have indicated that your track is a cover song, then you will need to review cover song licensing information, add the original artist and song title, and optionally add the original songwriter's name. You will also need to confirm that the track does not sample or remix another artist's recordings.

Explicit lyrics

If your release has explicit lyrics, you'll need to indicate so in the "Explicit lyrics" section.

Is this a "radio edit"?

If you've marked your track as not having explicit lyrics, then the "Is this a "radio edit"?" section will have you specify whether the track is clean and always has been, or if there is an explicit version of this song that this is the clean or censored version of.

Instrumental?

You can indicate whether your song contains lyrics or is instrumental in the "Instrumental?" section.

Apple Digital Master?

In the "Apple Digital Master?" section, you can indicate whether your release has been mastered by a certified Apple Digital Masters Mastering house. For more info, click here.

Preview clip start time

In the "Preview clip start time" section, you can specify the portion of your track that you would like to be available in store previews. Select "Let me specify when the good part starts" to choose the timestamp for the part of your track you want available for preview in TikTok, Apple Music and iTunes.

Note that preview clip time editing is only available for tracks longer than 1:16.

Track Price

If you have a Musician Plus plan or higher, you can select a track price in iTunes and Amazon by using the "Track Price" section. You can select $0.69, $0.99, or $1.29 – just keep in mind that tracks over 10-minutes long will be priced higher.
