# Release Your Track to Spotify and Apple Music

> Step-by-step guide to releasing a finished Vocuno track to Spotify, Apple Music, and all major streaming platforms — from export to going live.

Once your track is finished and mixed in the Vocuno Studio, you can release it to all major streaming platforms directly from Vocuno. Distribution is included in every plan — Starter members can release up to 5 songs per month, and Pro members get unlimited releases.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Finish and export your track">
    Open your song in the **Studio DAW** and do a final check on your mix. When you're happy, export it as a high-quality MP3 or WAV. This will be the master file delivered to streaming platforms.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the Distribution tab">
    Navigate to the **Distribution** section in your Vocuno dashboard. Click **New Release** to begin the submission flow.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add your track and metadata">
    Upload your exported audio file and fill in the required metadata:

    * **Track title** — The name as it will appear on streaming platforms
    * **Artist name** — Your artist or band name
    * **Genre** — Primary genre for the track
    * **Release date** — Set a future date to schedule the release, or choose immediate
    * **Cover artwork** — Upload a square image (minimum 3000 × 3000 px, JPEG or PNG)
    * **ISRC** — Vocuno can generate an ISRC code for your track automatically
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose your platforms">
    Select the streaming platforms you want to distribute to. By default, Vocuno submits to all major platforms: Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Tidal, and more.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Submit your release">
    Review all details, then click **Submit Release**. Vocuno delivers your track to each platform. Processing typically takes 1–5 business days depending on the platform.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Track your release status">
    Monitor your release in the Distribution dashboard. You'll see the delivery status for each platform and a confirmation when your track goes live.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Metadata tips

Getting your metadata right ensures your music is discoverable and correctly attributed.

| Field        | Notes                                                                                                |
| ------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Track title  | Use your official release title. Avoid adding "(Official Audio)" or similar — platforms handle that. |
| Artist name  | Use your artist name consistently across all releases.                                               |
| Genre        | Choose the primary genre. Some platforms support a secondary genre.                                  |
| Cover art    | Must be square, minimum 3000 × 3000 px. Text-only artwork may be rejected by some platforms.         |
| Release date | Allow at least 3 business days for Spotify and Apple Music delivery.                                 |

<Warning>
  Once a release is live on streaming platforms, changing core metadata (title, artist name, ISRC) may require re-submitting the release. Double-check everything before you submit.
</Warning>
