🎶 How to Resolve Artist Mapping Errors on Platforms?

When you make a distribution request, Wiseband does its best to ensure your release reaches the right place at the right time. However, once your music is sent to the platforms, it is formatted, sorted, and then assigned to an artist profile. In some cases, the profile might belong to another artist who shares the same name as you. No worries, we have all the necessary tools to fix this!

If you want to migrate your music catalog to Wiseband, it is possible with a simple process. This guide explains the essential steps to change distributors and redistribute your products with Wiseband, while preserving your statistics and metadata for a smooth and uninterrupted transition.

📢 Step 1: Retrieve Files and Metadata from Your Previous Distributor

To ensure your releases remain properly linked to their history and do not lose their statistics (streams, playlists, etc.), you need to submit your products exactly as they were distributed with your original distributor.

Note: A product can be a Single, EP, Album, or Compilation. Before starting the redistribution process with Wiseband, gather all the necessary information and files from your previous distributor. This includes:

High-quality audio files (WAV, FLAC, etc.)

The product's cover artwork

The product's UPC barcode (or EAN if in the US/Canada)

The ISRC codes for the tracks (and ISWC if you're affiliated with SACEM)

The original release date of the product

Exact metadata (titles, artists, collaborators, etc.) This information will help maintain the continuity of your statistics and avoid permanent duplicates on streaming platforms.

📢 Step 2: Re-Distribute Your Tracks with Wiseband

Once you have all these elements, manually create each product in your Wiseband account, using exactly the same information and files. Be sure to re-dis

Question 4

🚫 Why Your Release May Have Been Rejected?

Accepted Answer

For artists and labels, making music available on streaming platforms is a key step in reaching audiences. However, a release may sometimes be rejected for digital distribution if it does not meet platform requirements and/or Wiseband’s distribution standards.

It is also important to understand the concept of artistic coherence. We accept releases that demonstrate a consistent artistic direction, both in their creative content and in the accuracy and consistency of the information provided.

We understand that a distribution refusal can be frustrating. Please keep in mind that our goal is always to help you reach your audience while ensuring compliance with platform guidelines and providing the best possible listening experience for users.

In this article, we explain the main reasons why a release might be rejected and how to avoid these issues in the future.

1️⃣ Reported Content, Potential Rights Issues, or Infringement Concerns

If your music is flagged for copyright violations or other legal concerns, it may be rejected. Failure to respect intellectual property rights is a common reason for refusal. Make sure you hold all necessary rights for every element of your music, including any samples used.

2️⃣ Suspected Use of AI-Generated Content

AI-generated content is becoming increasingly popular. While it can be a creative tool, it may also be misused to distribute content automatically in order to generate artificial streams. In addition, AI-gen
