    Mine upload has a yellow dot next to it. I received an email regarding my song was process and my cover art went through but my song still hasn't uploaded. I haven't received an additional emails regarding my track. Just a couple of questions. How long does it take for a track to drop through distro kid? How will I know when it is up on streaming platforms such as apple music?

      Hey there. If it’s your first release it may take a little longer. Usually 1-2 weeks. If it’s past 2 weeks and still yellow, reach out to DistroKid. studiolivetoday.com/distrokid

    Hey Pete. I uploaded my first track a few days ago, and I received an email stating, "We've been notified that one or more of your songs may contain remixes, samples, or other audio that may not be 100% yours." But, I strongly dispute this claim as I am confident that the composition is entirely my own and I have not used any external samples. I have mailed them the same but there's no reply from them yet.
    Until now, a yellow circle appears next to the song, and it has not been distributed. So wanted to know that should I wait for few more days for my single to be released on other stores or just abort it. And can you suggest me other steps which I can take except remaking my whole song.

    • @PeteJohnsMusic
      @PeteJohnsMusic  Рік тому

      If you're confident that your song has no samples or audio from other songs, you should be fine once it is manually reviewed, but it can take a little while. You can try contacting DistroKid again if you haven't heard back. studiolivetoday.com/distrokid

    Quick question, I re-uploaded my album saying it was released June 10th and added the ISRC codes from the previous one and now I’ve got all the positive emails and my album is green but I can’t find it anywhere. Is the pre-save email the second to last email before I get one saying “Live”

      @PeteJohnsMusic  7 місяців тому

      Are they cover songs? Or use parts of existing songs? DistroKid doesn’t allow remixes or the use of any copyrighted content. And if you are covering another artist you need to release as a cover and pay a license fee. ua-cam.com/video/MXGw_Pdd-Xw/v-deo.htmlsi=nfW4WVglw_wzyiQ7
