How Spotify Distribution Works on SunoDistro

When you upload a release on SunoDistro and select Spotify as a destination, your music goes through a quality and metadata review. Once approved, SunoDistro delivers your release directly to Spotify’s system for processing and publication.

Spotify creates or updates your artist profile, links your music correctly, and makes your track available to listeners worldwide. You do not need to upload music manually to Spotify—everything is handled through SunoDistro.

What You Need Before Uploading to Spotify

To distribute your music successfully on Spotify, make sure you have:

• High-quality audio (WAV or high-quality MP3)

• Square artwork (3000 × 3000 pixels, no logos or URLs)

• Accurate metadata (artist name, track title, language, genre)

• Correct explicit content selection

• A future release date (recommended)

Following these basics helps ensure fast approval and smooth delivery.

Spotify Approval & Release Timeline

Most releases on SunoDistro receive same-day approval if all guidelines are followed.

Spotify Artist Profile & Verification

Once your music is live on Spotify:

Spotify’s algorithm favors well-tagged and regularly released music.
