    Please help me
    I I uploaded my first track more than two weeks ago, and I received an email stating that the audio and image are acceptable
    Until now, a yellow circle appears next to the song, and it has not been distributed
    what's the problem
    Or that the first version needs a longer time

    • @PeteJohnsMusic
      @PeteJohnsMusic  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey there. Yes, your first release will often take a little longer as sometimes it goes through a manual approval process. Reach out to DistroKid if you want confirmation. 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  ปีที่แล้ว

      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”

    I uploaded an album. On some of my tracks, it has Red Question mark, where it says "cover song license"
    Anyone know what this means??

    • @PeteJohnsMusic
      @PeteJohnsMusic  หลายเดือนก่อน

      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. th-cam.com/video/MXGw_Pdd-Xw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=nfW4WVglw_wzyiQ7
