How Long Does Approval Take on SunoDistro?
After submitting a release on SunoDistro, artists often ask how quickly their music will be approved. The good news is that SunoDistro approvals are fast, and in many cases, approval is granted on the same day.
This guide explains SunoDistro’s approval timeline, when same-day approval is possible, and what factors can affect review speed.
Same-Day Approval on SunoDistro
In most normal cases, SunoDistro reviews and approves releases within the same day of submission.
Same-day approval usually applies when:
Audio meets quality requirements
Artwork follows all guidelines
Metadata is accurate and complete
Copyright ownership is clear
Once approved, your release is immediately prepared for delivery to selected platforms.
Typical Approval Timeframe
Same day approval: Very common
Within 24 hours: Most releases
Up to 1–2 working days: Only in special cases
SunoDistro is designed for fast processing, especially for independent artists who want quick releases.
Platform Processing Time (After Approval)
Approval by SunoDistro is the first step. After approval, streaming platforms process the release separately.
Typical platform timelines:
Spotify: 1–3 days
Apple Music: 1–3 days
Instagram / Facebook: 2–5 days
YouTube Music: 1–3 days
Because platform processing is outside SunoDistro’s control, artists are advised to select a future release date (5–7 days recommended) for guaranteed availability everywhere.
What Helps You Get Same-Day Approval?
To increase the chances of same-day approval, make sure:
1. Audio Quality Is Correct
WAV or high-quality MP3
No distortion or clipping
No long silence at start or end
2. Artwork Is Fully Compliant
3000 × 3000 px square image
No logos, URLs, or promotional text
Original and high quality
3. Metadata Is Accurate
Correct artist name spelling
Proper language and genre selection
No extra words like “Official” or “New Song”
4. Explicit Content Is Marked Correctly
Explicit lyrics marked properly
Clean tracks marked as non-explicit
When these conditions are met, approval is usually completed very quickly.
First Release vs Future Releases
First release: May take slightly longer for initial verification, but same-day approval is still common
Future releases: Often approved even faster once your account is established
This helps maintain quality and platform trust.
