Album Cover

jpg, .png or .gif extension / optimal is perfect square / optimal size is 3000x3000

Don't increase the size of smaller images to make them bigger. This makes the image blurry. And stores reject blurry images.

Stores will reject artwork that contains a website address (URL), Twitter name, or any image that's pixelated, rotated, or poor quality. They'll also reject artwork with prices or store logos (don't put an iTunes or Spotify logo on your artwork). Also, please don't reuse the same artwork for multiple albums.

You own this artwork and everything in it. Stores will reject your artwork if it contains images you found online that you don't have the explicit right to use.

Songwriter*

I wrote this song, or manage the songwriter (it's an original tune)
Another artist wrote it (it's a cover song)

Cover songs are okay!
A "cover song" is a song that you performed & recorded yourself, but the music was written by someone else. For example, when your band plays "Smooth Criminal" (written by Michael Jackson). This is totally okay—DistroKid makes it easy and legal to sell cover songs.

Sampling is probably not okay
Sampling is when you use the actual recording of another artist's performance. For example, if you use the 1971 recording of Led Zeppelin's "When The Levee Breaks" as your drum track. That's generally not allowed, unless you have permission from the original artist.

Remixes are probably not okay
A remix of another artist's music is not the same thing as a cover. A cover is if you played the song yourself. On the other hand, a remix requires the permission of the original artist and is a totally different thing. TuneHyper will secure a license on your behalf via third-party vendor
TuneHyper compulsory mechanical licenses are secured by the Harry Fox Agency ("HFA"). Per U.S. copyright law, cover song licenses only provide legal coverage if the original song has already been released in the US, and the main elements of the original song (original lyrics, melody and title) remain fundamentally unaltered within the new sound recording. Genre changes and embellishments are totally okay and encouraged. Language changes are probably not okay. If you're not sure if your cover is allowed or not, please see the Harry Fox Agency's FAQ (here) and make sure to only upload covers that can be covered by compulsory mechanical licenses. These rules are a copyright thing, not a DistroKid thing (or HFA thing) and affect all distributors and licensors. Releases containing cover songs will not be available for sale in India, Pakistan, Mexico, or Canada.

Automated payments to songwriters
TuneHyper will automatically deduct the legally-mandated fee of 9.1¢ per song sold in the U.S. from your earnings and send it to HFA, who sends it to the original songwriter. You'll get 100% of the rest.

Annual Licensing Fee*

TuneHyper charges a (fee of $15 auto-billed to your cc annually ) to manage this cover song for you.
