The complete InterSpace content style guide for formatting releases, artist names, album and track titles, artwork, and metadata. Follow these standards to avoid rejections and get your music live faster.
Metadata is the information attached to your music release — including artist name, song title, genre, and collaborators. Accurate metadata ensures your music is correctly identified, distributed, and attributed across all platforms.
Incorrect metadata can cause delayed distribution, misplaced releases, and royalty attribution errors. Learn what to do if you spot a metadata mistake before or after submission.
Consistent, correctly formatted metadata ensures your music appears under the right artist profile on all platforms. Learn the formatting rules for artist names, song titles, and featured artist credits.
A release can appear under "Various Artists" when it has several primary artists. Here is why that happens and how to avoid it.
Your music shows on the wrong artist page when a platform (like Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Deezer, or YouTube) matched your release to the wrong artist profile.
Your cover artwork must meet specific size, format, and content rules to be accepted by all streaming platforms.
ISRC and UPC codes are unique identifiers used to track your music across streaming platforms and collect royalties. InterSpace assigns them automatically.
