Reasons for rejecting an application
1. Incomplete Submissions: We cannot proceed with submissions that lack examples of your work or fail to provide all necessary information. Ensuring complete and authentic submissions is crucial for further consideration.
2. Commercial Viability: We assess each submission's potential for commercial success. If we believe your content doesn't hold strong commercial prospects, it may not align with our distribution goals.
3. Content Concerns: We are committed to maintaining certain standards in the content we distribute. If your tracks contain political propaganda or other sensitive material, it may not align with our values or it may pose a risk to our brand.
4. Contractual Issues: Proper documentation and agreements with artists are essential. If there are any irregularities or issues with your contractual arrangements, we must resolve these before proceeding.
5. Quality and Originality: Your music should not only be well-produced but also original. Lack of originality or poor production quality can significantly impact your music's marketability and our ability to distribute it effectively.
6. Metadata and Documentation: Accurate metadata and documentation are vital for distribution. Inaccuracies in song titles, artist names, or missing copyright information can lead to rejection.
7. Inappropriate Content: We do not accept content that may be considered offensive or explicit beyond artistic or educational purposes. Content must adhere to community standards and should not include prohibited themes such as explicit sexual content or violence.
8. Non-Disclosure of Reasons: Please note that there are circumstances where we might decide not to disclose specific reasons for rejection. We reserve the right to reject submissions based on our internal criteria.
These guidelines are intended to help you understand some of the common reasons behind our decision-making process and to encourage improvements in your submissions for potential future acceptance.
These points are consolidated from common industry practices regarding music distribution and content acceptance.
