Made To Protect Honest Artists

Stores trust Tunetradr because we deliver clean, accurate, original releases. These guidelines are how we keep that trust — which is exactly what keeps your music available, discoverable and paying out.

Most are common sense, and our team reviews every submission so small issues get fixed before they ever reach a store.

  • Faster store approvals, fewer rejections
  • Your catalogue stays live across every platform
  • Your streams and payouts stay protected

What Your Release Must Meet

Hit these six marks and your release sails through review.

Audio Quality

Upload clean WAV or FLAC (16-bit / 44.1kHz or higher). No clipping, distortion, dead silence or low-effort, AI-spam audio.

Cover Artwork

Square, minimum 3000×3000px, RGB, sharp. No store logos, URLs, pricing, social handles or contact info on the cover.

Accurate Metadata

Real artist names, titles and credits. No keyword stuffing, no misleading text, and no misusing "feat." to ride bigger names.

Rights & Originality

Only upload music you own or are licensed to distribute. Covers and samples need the proper licence and clearance.

Correct Language & Genre

Tag the right primary language and genre so the right listeners, playlists and stores can actually find your music.

Realistic Release Dates

Give us enough lead time for delivery and pitching. Last-minute dates can miss store processing windows.

What's Never Allowed

Cross any of these lines and the release comes down — and the account usually goes with it.

Stream Manipulation

Using bots or paid "guaranteed plays" services to inflate streams. It's fraud — and it gets you banned from us and our partner platforms.

Payment Fraud

Stolen cards, chargebacks, or buying your own music with fraudulent payment methods. Accounts are closed and funds frozen.

Impersonation

Uploading someone else's work, pirated content, or using a name designed to pass you off as an established artist.

Copyright Infringement

Audio, artwork or names you don't own or aren't licensed to use. See our infringement claim form.

Hate Speech

Content that promotes violence or hatred against people based on race, religion, gender, nationality or sexual orientation. No exceptions.

Illegal & Harmful Content

Anything unlawful or that breaches a store's own policies or our Anti-Fraud Policy.

Fraud carries a zero-tolerance policy: confirmed cases mean immediate removal of all submissions, withheld earnings, permanent account closure, and a ban on opening new accounts.

Respect Our Team

Frustrated or in a hurry? Totally understandable. Here's how to get help fast — and what crosses the line.

Totally Fine

  • Telling us you're frustrated while asking for a solution
  • Asking us to clarify a message or decision
  • Following up through our official support channels
  • Reaching out on our official social accounts

Not Okay

  • Insulting, demeaning or threatening our staff
  • Contacting team members' personal accounts
  • Harassment, spamming or coordinated attacks
  • Demanding staff share personal information

A one-off vent is human. A pattern of abuse toward our team can lead to account termination.

Guideline Questions

Why was my release rejected? +
The usual reasons are low audio quality, cover art that breaks the rules (logos, URLs, blur or wrong size), inaccurate or keyword-stuffed metadata, or content you don't have the rights to. Fix the flagged issue and resubmit — our team tells you exactly what to change.
What size and format should my cover art be? +
A square image at least 3000×3000px, RGB, sharp and unpixelated. Don't add store logos, web addresses, pricing, social handles or contact details, and only use imagery you own or are licensed to use.
Can I release a cover song or use a sample? +
Yes, with the correct licence. Cover songs need a mechanical licence and samples need clearance from the rights holder. Uploading either without permission is treated as infringement and will be removed.
What happens if I use bots or paid services to boost streams? +
Artificial streaming is fraud and carries zero tolerance — it can mean removal of the release, withheld earnings, permanent account closure and a ban across our partner platforms. Grow your audience the real way instead.
How long does review take? +
Most releases that follow these guidelines are reviewed within a couple of working days. Final live dates also depend on each store's own processing queue.
Still not sure about a release? +
Ask before you submit. Reach our team through the contact page or our Help Desk and we'll guide you.
