This includes tagging every artist and contributor with specific roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To help you meet these new standards and ensure your music stays compliant and visible, we\u2019ve updated how contributor information is entered on Label Engine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>What\u2019s Changing in Label Engine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To meet these new requirements, we\u2019ve made several updates to the <strong>Client Listing section<\/strong> of the Distribute Track page. You\u2019ll now be required to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Credit all clients involved in a track as an artist or contributor<\/li><li>Assign roles from newly organized categories: Performance, Production, and Composition<\/li><li>Ensure at least one role is selected from each category before you can submit a release<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to Apple\u2019s standards, we\u2019ve also addressed client feedback:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Removed the redundant <strong>Artist List<\/strong> field<\/li><li>Made it easier to add <strong>Featured Artists<\/strong> without workarounds<\/li><li>Increased the limit of number of <strong>group members<\/strong> beyond 3<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>What You Need to Do<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>All new releases must now include complete credits to be delivered. We\u2019ve created a simple, guided workflow to make this process clear and easy to follow. Detailed instructions can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/help.label-engine.com\/en\/articles\/11473525-how-to-add-clients-to-your-track\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please note that you are not required to update past releases with complete credits; however, if you make changes to an older release, you will be prompted to provide the necessary contributor details during editing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;re excited to help you deliver better, more complete metadata, and ensure your music gets the credit it deserves.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have questions, please reach out to <a href=\"mailto:support@label-engine.com\">support@label-engine.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple Music now requires full contributor credits on every track.
