FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the release checklist include?
The checklist covers all major aspects of a music release: metadata preparation (title, ISRC, UPC, credits), artwork requirements, distributor submission, social media content planning, YouTube upload, press release, playlist pitching, and post-release promotional tasks.
How early before release should I start using this checklist?
Most distributors require submissions at least 7–14 days before the release date, and playlist pitching to Spotify editorial requires at least 7 days. We recommend starting your release preparation 4–6 weeks in advance for a full promotional campaign.
Does this tool store my release information?
No. All processing is done in your browser. No information you enter is stored on a server. The checklist is generated locally and stays on your device.
Can I use this checklist for album releases as well as singles?
Yes. The generator creates checklists tailored to singles, EPs, and albums. Album checklists include additional tasks for track ordering, bundle artwork, and press kit preparation.
What is an ISRC code and do I need one?
An ISRC (International Standard Recording Code) is a unique identifier for each recording. Most distributors assign ISRCs automatically when you submit your track. If you self-release without a distributor, you can register ISRCs through your country's national agency.
Can I download the checklist as a PDF?
Yes. Use your browser's Print function (Ctrl+P or Cmd+P) and choose "Save as PDF" to save a clean version of your checklist.
