Common Beginner Mistakes on SunoDistro

Releasing music for the first time can be exciting, but new artists often make small mistakes that can delay approval or affect their release performance. Understanding these common beginner errors can help you avoid rejection, save time, and ensure a smooth distribution process on SunoDistro.

This guide highlights the most frequent mistakes made by first-time users and explains how to avoid them.

1. Uploading Low-Quality Audio Files

One of the most common mistakes is uploading audio that does not meet quality standards.

Common issues include:

  • Low-bitrate MP3 files

  • Distorted or clipped audio

  • Audio ripped from YouTube or other platforms

  • Excessive silence at the beginning or end

Always upload clean, properly mastered audio files in supported formats to avoid rejection.

2. Incorrect Artwork or Cover Image

Many beginners face delays because of artwork issues.

Typical mistakes:

  • Low-resolution images

  • Non-square artwork

  • Logos, URLs, or promotional text on the cover

  • Using copyrighted images without permission

Your artwork must be original, high quality, and follow all cover image guidelines.

3. Inaccurate Metadata Information

Metadata errors are one of the biggest reasons for rejection.

Common metadata mistakes include:

  • Misspelled artist names

  • Mismatch between artwork text and metadata

  • Incorrect language or genre selection

  • Adding extra words like “Official”, “New Song”, or release years

Always double-check metadata before submitting your release.

4. Wrong Explicit Content Selection

New artists often misunderstand explicit content settings.

Mistakes include:

  • Marking clean songs as explicit

  • Failing to mark explicit lyrics correctly

  • Uploading only one version instead of separate clean and explicit versions

Incorrect explicit marking can result in store-level penalties or removal.

5. Choosing an Incorrect Release Date

Selecting the wrong release date is another common issue.

Examples:

  • Setting a release date too soon

  • Not allowing enough review time

6. Using Inconsistent Artist Names

Changing artist names or spelling between releases can create profile issues.

Mistakes include:

  • Adding extra spaces or symbols

  • Changing capitalization

  • Using different spellings across releases

Artist names must remain consistent to maintain your artist profile.

7. Uploading Copyrighted or Unauthorized Content

Some beginners upload content they do not fully own.

This includes:

  • Beats without proper licenses

  • Remixes without permission

  • Cover songs without required rights

You must own or legally license all uploaded content.

8. Skipping Lyrics or Adding Incorrect Lyrics

Incorrect or missing lyrics can reduce discoverability.

Common errors:

  • Lyrics not matching the audio

  • Adding timestamps or notes

  • Uploading lyrics with wrong language selection

Correct lyrics improve performance on Instagram Music and Spotify Lyrics.

9. Rushing the Submission Process

Many beginners rush through the upload process without reviewing details.

Always:

  • Preview all information

  • Check spelling and formatting

  • Review artwork and audio quality

Taking extra time prevents delays and rejections.

Conclusion

Avoiding these common beginner mistakes can significantly improve your release experience on SunoDistro. By carefully preparing your audio, artwork, metadata, and release details, you increase your chances of faster approval and better performance across all streaming platforms.

Always review your release thoroughly before submitting to ensure a smooth and successful launch.
