Review Process: After you submit your music, SpaceMedia conducts a quick review to ensure everything meets our quality and content guidelines. This typically takes only a few hours.
Distribution to Platforms: After approval, we send your music to the selected platforms. Depending on the platform, it might take: Spotify: 1-3 business days, Apple Music: 2-6 business days, Other Platforms: Timeframes can vary between 1-10 business days.
Release Date: If you've specified a future release date, platforms will hold your music until that date.
Delays: While rare, there might be occasional delays due to high submission volumes, public holidays, or platform-specific backlogs.
