Thank you so much for these 3 videos you made on this topic. I will use this process to re-release my music. Glad to know about the ISRC

[jj.vargasmusic]

Thanks for this video! I just received a request from the director of a movie I created the score for. He had previously asked me to release the soundtrack ASAP, but after some changes in the theatrical release date made by the distribution company, they asked me to change the release date for until April 20th, 2023... I was about to delete the whole thing from the stores until I found your video. ☺

[NioEndo]

Hey. It is possible to change the audio. You must ensure that the metadata and the track length is the same and it will replace the track in the stores, after which you can choose to delete the original track. It is risky at times, and might not work in certain scenarios. So do not delete the old track until you are sure that the link takes places.

Once again man thanks for the great videos! I’ve watched a few of your distrokid videos now, very helpful.😄👍🏾

There is Update, Now Artist name can be Changed.

[Hanakimberlyy]

Hello! Is it possible to change the album name BEFORE the release date? I didn't upper case a letter and put a hyphen on a word. Thank you so much!

[sidarthhnair]

Hey man, quick question. I have an album coming out in 4 days, and i just spotted a mistake in the album artwork. If i edit it today, will it get processed and renewed before the release date or will it mess up with the release date. Or should I wait after release and then edit it? Great Video, appreciate it!

[illymusic]

so I can change my cover art for a song even month after I've released?

[dubem]

Quick question! My song has already been processed and submitted to stores. if I move the release date one day forward(From Thurs to Wed), will that delay things? Also, if I choose to edit the release, but don't edit the artwork, will my song artwork be blank

[WIIMTheMusician]

I have a song on DistroKid that I would like to add touch-ups to after all. Is there ANY way to re-upload the same song, just mixed/mastered slightly differently? I can’t afford to lose the streams. THANKS IN ADVANCE!!

[juniorblingaz]

Respect Pete ! Been watching a while now and its aways informative and helpful !

[tinyboy]

Yo Pete, once I have uploaded my music to DistroKid, can I still change the cover art before the release? And if so, how much time before the release should I change the cover art so that the adjustment is on time? I hope to hear from you soon.

[ZSOfficialMusic]

hey if i change my artwork will it change on the youtube topic channel too?

[AquarianHarmonics]

Thank you so much for taking the time to make this series. It was very informative!
I have a question on something I need further information. Is it possible to change all the releases in an album to single status and just eliminate the album.
Also, is a remastered audio file, such as applying 8D audio, considered too much of a change?
Thank again for all your wonderful information.
Blessingd, in Love and Light! 💖✨

[cyonejohnson]

can you edit the artist mapping for featured artists?

[justinstiflerdanger]

Please help me! There’s no “edit release” button in my page. I’d just wanna choose a release day (when I uploaded I couldn’t set it because my account was the “basic” one) and if possible I’d like to change my record label (real one instead of the default code)

[makiarobinson]

Wondering how long it typically takes for new artwork that’s been edited to process? I have a release this coming Thursday, & I wanted to change it.

[cokiidcraig]

Hey Pete if I wanna add more song to my album how can I do so

[thomaswalliker]

Great video mate, I was wondering if you knew how long an album artwork change takes to go live? I’ve done it once and it was pretty instant (same day), been waiting on another changing for a few days now but when I search for the song on Instagrams story Spotify music search the change has been made, just not on actual Spotify. Hope that made sense and you might be able to shed some light on the situation!
