Release preparation checklist
An original AML Music planning resource. Use it to get a release in order before you contact us or anyone else.
Music and version
Working release title; single, EP or album; version and explicit-content information where relevant.
Audio status
Identify the final master and version. Do not upload it to the public enquiry form.
Artwork
Prepare artwork you are authorised to use, with credits and ownership recorded.
People and credits
List performers, writers, producers and other contributors accurately; confirm how names should appear.
Permissions
Check samples, cover recordings, beat licences, artwork and any other third-party material before submission.
Timing
Identify your target date and dependencies. Confirm the delivery lead time with your service provider.
Existing release
Note whether it is already distributed and whether another agreement restricts moving it.
Project links
Share a public artist or music link for the first conversation; keep sensitive data for an agreed secure process.
Not a distribution agreement, rights clearance or guarantee of platform acceptance. AML Music
