Introduction
You can put your music on Apple Music by following the instructions in this article.
What is Apple Music?
Apple Music is a streaming service that offers access to millions of songs, as well as curated playlists and radio stations. It’s available on iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, and Apple TV. You can also listen to Apple Music on non-Apple devices with the help of an Apple Music subscription.
How to get your music on Apple Music
If you’re an artist or musician, you can submit your music to Apple Music and iTunes for consideration. Once your music is live, fans can start streaming and downloading your songs and albums on Apple Music and iTunes.
To submit your music to Apple Music and iTunes:
Create an account with TuneCore. Search for your artist name to see if it’s already taken. If it is, you can request a unique URL.
Pay the one-time submission fee per album or EP. If you’re submitting more than one album or EP, you’ll need to pay the fee for each one separately.
Upload your album or EP artwork, track list, and audio files. For best results, follow the guidelines for each file type. You can also add lyrics for each song, if available.
Choose how you want to distribute your music on TuneCore (Apple Music/iTunes is just one of the many places TuneCore can get your music). There is no distribution fee when you choose Apple Music/iTunes as one of your stores. However, there is a yearly subscription fee of $49.99 to keep your account active. This gives you access to all of TuneCore’s features and distribution opportunities (not just for Apple Music/iTunes).
Submitting Your Music For Consideration
If you’re an independent artist or part of an independent label, learn how to submit your music for consideration by following these instructions:
Create an account with TuneCore if you haven’t already. If you’re part of an independent label, each submitter will need their own TuneCore account in order to submit different albums or EPs on behalf of different artists signed to the label – even if those albums are being released under the same label name in iTunes Connect. Signing up for a TuneCore account is free – there are no monthly charges or maintenance fees, only a small one-timeupload fee per album or EP submitted. Search for your artist name before creating an account – if it’s already taken by another artist on TuneCore (or anywhere else), request a unique URL so that people looking for YOUR artist will be able to find YOU easily online without having to search through millions of other artists with similar names who may also be using TuneCore services. If it’s available as a URL, anyone with internet access will be able to find and stream/download/purchase YOUR releases by going directly to YOUR artist page on any internet-connected device – they won’t have to search through pounds of other releases in the digital marketplace in order to find YOURS specifically unless YOU want them too! Choose how you want people around the world to be able to hear YOUR releases by selecting from our list of digital stores and physical retailers when signing up – THERE ARE NO UPFRONT OR ANNUAL FEES FOR USING OUR DIGITAL DISTRIBUTION SERVICES AT TUNECORE! You only ever pay ONE LOW FEE per album or EP that you submit whenever YOU release new music through OUR system into THE global marketplace whether that’s 1 release every 10 years OR 1 release every 10 minutes… After creating YOUR account and logging in, click ‘Add New Release’ from the MY MUSIC section of the dashboard then follow the easy step-by-step instructions provided in order add all pertinent information about YOUR new release including; full tracklist with pricing & durations per territory (if applicable), desired release date(s), credits & vendor codes (PC & ISRC) per territory (if applicable), lyrics per territory & language (if applicable),avails per territory & language (if applicable),and genre information as well as upload high resolution digital artwork(1400x1400 pixels) in .jpg or .png format along with individual audio files in .wav format encoded at 44100 hz OR MP3 format encoded at 320 kbps CBR – it’s super easy AND takes less than 10 minutes once YOU get familiar with where everything goes AND what everything means… REALLY!
