🎼 How to Prepare Your Song for Distribution
Here’s the reality: before you upload your music to Last Play Distro or any other distribution platform, you need to make sure your track meets the required standards. This ensures your release gets approved quickly and sounds great on every platform.
Follow this checklist to make your next release smooth, fast, and professional.
1️⃣ Finalize Your Mix & Master
Always ensure your song is properly mixed and mastered. Streaming platforms have strict audio quality requirements. We recommend uploading in WAV format (16-bit or 24-bit, 44.1kHz) for the best results.
2️⃣ Create Professional Artwork
Your cover art is the first thing listeners see. Make sure it’s high-resolution (at least 3000 x 3000 pixels), free of any URLs or logos you don’t own, and represents your music style.
3️⃣ Check Metadata
Metadata is the information attached to your song, such as title, artist name, and genre. Incorrect metadata can lead to delays or even removal from stores. Double-check:
- ✅ Song title & correct spelling
- ✅ Artist name(s) — primary & featuring
- ✅ Genre and sub-genre
- ✅ Release date
4️⃣ Decide on Your Release Strategy
Will you drop your track as a surprise or build hype with a pre-save campaign? Giving yourself at least 7–14 days before release is ideal for marketing and playlist pitching.
5️⃣ Double-Check Legal Rights
If you’ve used samples, beats, or lyrics you didn’t create, make sure you have proper licenses. Platforms can remove your track if there are copyright issues.
💡 Pro Tip
Save all your assets (audio, artwork, metadata) in a dedicated release folder. This keeps things organized and speeds up the upload process on Last Play Distro.
🎯 Ready to Release?
Once your track is ready, Last Play Distro will distribute it to 100+ platforms worldwide, letting you keep 100% of your royalties.
