Choose the destination before preparing an AI music release. A storefront supports direct listening and purchases; a distributor handles delivery to named services according to its agreement. Treat those as separate routes, even when your campaign uses both.
This AI-assisted collection comes from the Galvanized Souls Editorial Desk. The guides give a practical release workflow and cite primary policies without claiming test-release results.
Prepare one complete release package
Start with the release checklist. It covers permissions, final audio, metadata, delivery checks, and a manageable announcement plan. Keep the approved master beside its metadata sheet so you can identify exactly what should reach the listener.
Avoid announcing a fixed release date while rights questions or required files are unresolved. Build time into your own plan for correcting errors; this hub does not promise a provider's approval or delivery schedule.
Check how many finished masters your generator plan actually allows you to take before fixing a schedule around them. Download limits and your release calendar works that arithmetic for one current example.
Keep recording identity consistent
Use the metadata and ISRC worksheet for titles, contributors, versions, identifiers, and evidence. IFPI explains why recording identity and rights ownership are separate. Preserve both kinds of information rather than treating a code as proof of clearance.
Check the policy at each destination
The distributor policy guide shows how to compare generator permission, distributor acceptance, and store rules. DistroKid's published policy offers a current example of conditional AI acceptance; it is not evidence that all distributors follow the same rules.
Some distributors set their condition on the generator rather than on your own contribution. Suno V6 and TuneCore works through one such rule, where eligibility follows the model a recording was made with. Read it before assuming a released track and an older recording in the same catalogue are treated alike.
Once the release appears, check artist mapping, credits, artwork, and the actual playable version. Save the live links and any correction requests in the project record. Distribution is only one part of the release: use selling for direct offers, licensing for project uses, and rights and policies when the permission decision needs more work.
