Would you reccomend then deleting the singles off your profile once you turn it to an album? If it keeps all the streams and saves

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

I don’t think it makes much difference. Makes more sense to me having both the single and album versions available.

[@fnscomedycrew]

@@PeteJohnsMusic so... when you reupload with the same isrc too does it delete/change your old single's art if you leave it? And what would you do to upload an "album version" or "remastered" or something? Not use the old isrc?

[@limon.79]

does it keep the streams and saves?

[@SlimNasty]

@@limon.79 yes

[@Biometrixuk]

Does it automatically remove the singles when it realises you have duped it as an EP, or do you then do that manually? Big thing here is to keep hold of the play counts

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

Nope. It generally treats as a separate release. Play counts might be separate for the single and album version it that doesn’t affect much. studiolivetoday.com/distrokid

[@kjstudios112]

Ive been trying to release an ep containing a previously released single, but apple isn't accepting my file, I put in the IRSC code but it sill didn't work

I know you created this video a while ago but I was wondering if we even need to put in the "credits" information for the tracks that we already released as singles. Will the ISRC code automatically use the same songwriter info as previously placed?

Thanks, this is helpful. I'm really looking to find out if it's a good idea to release singles as an album or EP. We're releasing singles one per month and I'm wondering if we should release an album for each year or what. Does it hurt? Does it help? Does it matter? Thanks.

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

Hey there. So, I don’t think it hurts? Just gives people another way to discover your music in my view?

[@TalBarr]

Hi Pete, I tried uploading my 6 singles as an album but apparently I have to upgrade in order to specify my ISRC code. Is that true?

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

Yes, I believe you'd need the Musician Plus to align with the ISRC. You can however still release singles from an album, or albums of single just without the ISRC.

[@YungTuck]

How do you make it pop up as a ep on all platforms tho instead of the album section like on spotify there is a album section the a ep and single section I want to ensure my ep pops up in the ep and single section rather than the album...

Hadn’t noticed that and not really sure sorry. I think it comes down to number of tracks?

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

Hey there. For some things yes but Content ID remains covered for the singles so you don’t need it again on an album version of the same song. studiolivetoday.com/distrokid

Good advice mate.

[@astro23wayy]

when i do this to a single do my stats and etc carry over to the re-uploaded version thats in my album? it doesn’t start over right? i think thats what that code u used was for but im not sure.

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

Hru there. I believe it should carry over but there’s no guarantees. It’s not usually a big deal anyway. You get paid for future streams, not past ones.

this was incredibly helpful but i have a question would it work to drop one single and then for every other song i drop to instead of being another single could i just add each song on as i go i dont really want to drop 15 singles i more so want the album to build up over time like add a new song every week until its complete thank you!

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

Hey there. So yes, you can just release each as a single and then release all the singles as a single album once they’re all out. You can’t slowly “build” an album track by track though as you’d need to remove and re-release the album every time. studiolivetoday.com/distrokid

[@adrianrieder4553]

Thanks Pete. Will the new songs lose their Steam counts on eg. Spotify? or does the platform know that it's the same song and will take them over?

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

Generally they will be treated separately. You can use the ISRC code if you want to try to sync them, but a lot depends on the platform.

[@yungkeo]

Hey Pete! I have the Musician plan, and I can't change the ISRC code to what it was when I relased it. Do you think it could work if I don't put the code there?

Yeah it should be fine. It just perhaps won’t align with the original release. It as long as the first one is R.E.M. led you’ll be fine. studiolivetoday.com/distrokid

[@HeyItsJeMusic]

Hi Pete! I have 6 songs ready to release it as EP. My plan is releasing them one by one every week (for 6 weeks) as singles. But the sixth song I will release it as EP/Album. Will this work? My goal is to make sure I pitch them all since releasing all the songs at the same time wont pitch all the song from the album. Do you think this is a good idea? Anyways thank you for this helpful video!

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

Yup. You can release individual singles and then release all the singles as an EP at the end, or at the he same time as the 6th single, so 7 releases all together.

It says an album title but I want to release it as an Ep how will distrokid get to know that its an ep

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

I think it just names it based on the number of tracks. It’s pretty interchangeable between EP and album. studiolivetoday.com/distrokid

[@Bcuube]

So I’m releasing a single, than a few weeks later a 6 song ep including that previously released single, should I include same isrc code from previous releases single or does it not matter? I’m fine with keeping both the single and the ep version up just wasn’t sure if it was necessary to use same isrc code

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

Yeah, you can try using the ISRC code and it SHOULD link them but doesn’t always work.

hey Pete, how can I edit my release from "album" to be identified as EP? it contains 7tracks with the total duration is less than 30 mins.

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

I think anything over 6 tracks is automatically an album?

@@PeteJohnsMusic thanks for the reply. is there anything that I could try to get changed to EP? do I have to reupload it again?
