Releasing Club Ready Music tracks on streaming
“Can I release Club Ready Music tracks on Spotify and Apple Music?”
Yes. Club Ready Music tracks can be released to Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Deezer, TIDAL and the rest through any music distributor. The major platforms accept AI-assisted music. What they police is impersonation, artificial streaming and false metadata, not the tool used to make the audio.
How distribution works
You do not upload to Spotify directly. A distributor such as DistroKid, TuneCore, CD Baby, Amuse or LANDR takes your audio, artwork and metadata, assigns an ISRC and UPC, and delivers the release to each store. Club Ready Music gives you the three things a distributor needs:
- Audio. Download the WAV. It is 24-bit, 48 kHz, stereo, which every distributor accepts. MP3 is usually refused for distribution.
- Artwork. The cover is a square JPEG with no text, so you can add a title or leave it clean.
- Metadata. Title, artist, genre, BPM and key are in the file tags and shown on the share page. You type the rest into the distributor form.
Platform policies in brief
- Spotify removes tracks for artificial streaming, impersonation and spam uploads. It does not ban AI-generated audio. It has removed AI tracks that imitated named artists.
- Apple Music follows the same pattern and has tightened rules on duplicate and low-quality uploads.
- Deezer detects and tags fully AI-generated tracks and excludes them from some royalty calculations and algorithmic recommendations. Expect lower reach there.
- Distributors increasingly ask whether AI was used. Answer truthfully.
What to avoid
- Do not name a real artist in the title, artist field or lyrics. Impersonation is the fastest route to removal.
- Do not upload large volumes of near-identical tracks. Platforms treat that as spam.
- Do not use a cloned voice without the singer's consent. Your clone confirmation in the studio covers this.
- Use the Streaming −14 loudness preset. Platforms normalise to around −14 LUFS and a −8 master will be turned down and sound flatter than a dynamic one.
Rights and royalties
A release generates streaming royalties through your distributor regardless of copyright registration, because the distributor pays whoever uploaded the release. Performance royalties from collecting societies require registering the work, which is covered in the copyright answer.
Summary
Download the WAV at the streaming preset, add artwork and honest metadata, deliver through a distributor, and do not impersonate anyone. That is the same advice a human-produced release would get.
Frequently asked
Which file do I upload to a distributor?
The WAV. Distributors require lossless audio, and Club Ready Music's WAV is 24-bit / 48 kHz, which every major distributor accepts.
Do I have to label the release as AI?
Some distributors ask. Answer truthfully. Misrepresenting a release is the usual reason for takedowns, not the AI itself.
