# 🎶 How to Distribute Your Music on Digital Platforms?

Wiseband allows you to release your music across a wide range of platforms (Apple Music, Amazon, Spotify, Deezer, Napster, Qobuz, Beatport, etc.). Here's a step-by-step guide to help you distribute your music!

### 📢 **__Step 1: Create an Article__**

1. Go to the **"Distribution"** / **"Digital Catalog"** page and click on **"New Distribution"**.![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/a/f/9/e/af9e7de2e4dd5000/image_78nblt.png)
2. Choose the groupe to distribute
3. Select the format of your release: **Single / EP / Album**![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/a/f/9/e/af9e7de2e4dd5000/image_1vyqkri.png)
> **Note**: Whenever the **"?"** symbol appears during the creation of your album, you can hover over it to get additional information about the current step.
Once your article is created, it will appear in your article list on the **"Digital Catalogue"** page of your account.

### 📢 **__Step 2: Upload Your Files in the Correct Format__**

Once on the article creation page, you can upload the **cover** of your release. Here are the required criteria:
* **Dimensions**: 3000*3000 px ideally (1448*1448 px minimum)
* **Format**: JPG
* **Colorimetry**: sRGB (no Display P3)
Then, upload your tracks in **MP3**, **WAV**, or **FLAC**. Here are the requirements for each format:
* **MP3**: 320 kbps
* **WAV**: 16 bits (or 24 bits HD)
* **FLAC**: 16 bits
> **Tip**: We recommend uploading your files in **WAV** format, as **MP3** is not accepted by some platforms (e.g., Tidal and Qobuz).

### 📢 **__Step 3: Enter Metadata__**

For the next three steps, if there's an error, the field label will appear in **red**.
> **Note**: For more information on the error, hover over the red text to display it. You won't be able to proceed until the error is corrected.

#### General Metadata (Single / EP / Album...)
![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/a/f/9/e/af9e7de2e4dd5000/image_18kh6ab.png)

* Enter the **title of your product** and only the title. **Do not enter your artist name in this field**.
* Enter the **barcode** (UPC code for France and Europe, and EAN code for the US and Canada).If you don't have a barcode, Wiseband will generate one for you.
* Note the **digital release date** and the **label name** (if you're self-produced, check the corresponding box).
* The **primary genre** (mandatory) and **secondary genre** (strongly recommended) should also be filled out.

#### Track Metadata for the Album
![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/a/f/9/e/af9e7de2e4dd5000/image_927dof.png)

* The titles of the tracks are automatically filled with the name of your audio file (in **green**).
* Be sure to rename or correct the titles if needed. The tracks may not be in the order you initially entered. To reorder them, drag the track to the desired position.
* You must list at least one **Author** and/or **Composer** (or beatmaker) per track. Their first and last names are required.If there are multiple authors/composers, separate their names with a comma and space (e.g., Author1, Author2, Author3).
* You can also indicate a **featuring** and/or a **version** of your track.

#### Optional Track Metadata

* Only fill out optional metadata if you have the information. If not, skip this step.
* The **ISRC code** is assigned by the **SPPF** or **SCPP** (producer organizations), and the **ISWC code** is assigned by **SACEM**. If you don't have either, **we can generate an ISRC code for you**.
* If your lyrics contain explicit content, check the **"Explicit Lyrics"** box (mandatory).
* If your music isn't registered with **SACEM**, and the authors aren't registered, or the song is in the **public domain**, uncheck the **"SACEM"** box.

### 📢 **__Step 4: Choose Platforms__**

Select the **platforms** where you want to distribute your album.
> **Tip**: For a successful release, we recommend allowing a **month** between your distribution request and your release date.
If you have selected **YouTube** as one of your platforms, you will be asked to **certify** that you hold the exclusive rights to the tracks you want to distribute (to benefit from **YouTube Content ID**).

### 📢 **__Step 5: Artist Pages__**

On music streaming platforms, the **artist page** is a digital showcase where listeners discover your music and learn more about your work. It plays a crucial role in promoting and distributing your music online.
At this distribution step, you need to fill out your artist pages so that our team can assign your releases correctly.
* The **left side** is for the main artist of the release. If you haven’t added your artist page links in your group settings, you can do it now by clicking **"Edit"** 🔵. Once the links are added, go back to your distribution and click **"Refresh"** 🟢.
* The **right side** is for contributors (other main artists and/or featuring). If these artists already have pages, just select the platform from the dropdown menu and paste the URL. If they don't have a page yet, click **"New"** 🔴 to create one.

### 📢 **__Step 6: Metadata Review__**

Check that all the metadata is accurate. The data under **"Your album on digital platforms"** is what will appear on the platforms.

### 📢 **__Step 7: Vendor Information__**

Enter the requested information. For individuals, your legal number is your **social security number**.

### 📢 **__Step 8: Digital Distribution Contract__**

Don't forget to tick the box **"I do accept the digital distribution agreement"** to digitally sign your contract, then click **"Validate"**. Once the contract is signed, the product status will update to **"In progress"** on the **Distribution** / **Digital Catalogue** page.
