Review and publication process of your music on Indiefy
Once you submit your music, our distribution team listens to it and checks the metadata of your release. This review process includes copyright scans and audio quality checks to ensure everything meets digital store standards. 🎵
We want to give proper attention to each artist, so your release may remain under review for 1 to 2 business days. After this period, the release status will change:
-
Approved: if no issues are detected, your release will be approved and ready for publication.
-
Reopened: if minor adjustments are needed, you can make changes and resubmit it.
-
Rejected: if it doesn’t meet the guidelines, it cannot be published.
If your release is approved, you only need to wait for the publication date for the status to change to “Published.” Keep in mind:
-
Indiefy PRO: your release can be published from 7 days after submission for review, although the exact date depends on your chosen schedule.
-
Indiefy Basic: your release can be published from 21 days after submission for review, which is the minimum time before publication.
If your release is reopened, you can make some changes and resubmit it. If it is rejected, it cannot be resubmitted. Once a release has a set launch date, it cannot be changed, unless you are a PRO user.
You can check the status of your release in your distributions profile: indiefy.net/distributions
From that point on, it is the stores’ responsibility to publish your music on time. By default, releases are published at 12:00 a.m. CT on the selected release date. However, delays may occur due to the high volume of music they handle.
💡 Tip: It is recommended to plan your release well in advance, ideally with at least one month of lead time. This will allow you to:
-
Submit your music for Spotify pitching.
-
Prepare and execute promotion strategies.
-
Reach a larger audience and maximize the impact of your music
