How To Upload A Song To RouteNote

[@adaeze_eze]

Thanks. I really need to watch this video over and over again.

[@JaceyFlames]

Np! Glad it was helpful!

[@dons.fishing3]

Ive seen a commentary saying that the guy have problem cuz he didnt see is song on spotify because he's approval date was close to is release date but where do you write the approval date i just see the release date

[@JaceyFlames]

It’s usually right when you upload your song, it’ll say “approved” or not and routenote has been known to take a while for the approval process. So please be aware of that.

[@dons.fishing3]

Okay thanks

Do you know how long you roughly have to wait until your song/music gets distributed? other than that great tuturial and thanks alot!

[@JaceyFlames]

No problem and it really depends on the release date you set it for. I always recommend setting it to release 4 - 5 weeks ahead.

[@taroteemusiq9884]

For free or you have to get plan to set a date??

[@JaceyFlames]

For free, depending on the platforms you are releasing on.

After you post this onto Spotify does that mean you are now a Spotify artist and can u now link Your Spotify account to your TikTok account?

[@JaceyFlames]

You have to claim your profile (which I have videos on how to do so).

[@anykegodson9579]

I uploaded my song since 6 feb up till now its still not approved instead it has been in 80% and i have completed the 4 or 5 steps of uploading and i have clicked distribute i don't know what to do next

[@JaceyFlames]

Unfortunately, this has been happening a lot because RouteNote is now taking extra days to approve a song. It seems that it’s part of their new policy and their AI is taking longer now. I’d advise contacting their support and if they don’t solve this for you within the next day or so, then definitely switch over to another distributor platform.

[@H1zdm]

When I try post my song it says your album and Track are the same or something pls reply

[@JaceyFlames]

That’s the main issue with RouteNote is that it won’t let you move forward unless you have a different song title that is different than your album title.

[@H1zdm]

@@JaceyFlames ok I’ll try now

[@ringtone-sama]

I appreciate the advice you give at the end about not being cheap with your career, that's some solid advice that many upcoming artist need to hear. But for me, I just want to at least release some music so I get it out there lol By the way how long does it usually take for your tracks to be in review?

[@JaceyFlames]

Np! It depends. Sometimes it can take a few days. If it takes longer than 5 days, then contact routenote’s support.
