Uploads, releases & metadata

26 minFoundationalFree

Your **release** is a package: audio, artwork, Metadata, territories, and go-live timing. In the **LUCY app**, you move through **draft → validation → delivery** so DSPs receive a consistent bundle—fewer rejects, fewer “fix it in post” emergencies. Treat every validation message as tied to a **real store rule** your distributor enforces.

What you’ll be able to do

  • Draft vs submitted vs delivered states
  • [[Metadata]] fields that must match across audio, artwork, and credits
  • How LUCY validates before delivery to stores
