However, if you notice a mapping error with your delivered releases then you should contact info@melodymover.com providing the URL of the incorrect location and the URL of the location you wish to place it. You are required to provide at least 14 days ahead of your preferred release date to ensure that your release is delivered to storefronts.

All releases that we receive for distribution go through a quality compliance and assurance phase. If you have a release that contains a sample or featured artist then you should ensure that you possess the appropriate mechanical license. This is in the event that we request your documentation prior to approving your release. If we do not receive this then we will not deliver you works to any digital storefronts.
We offer delivery services and preorder campaigns via our Bandcamp account and liaise with the platform to pitch for promotional opportunities. If you wish to use this service then please contact info@melodymover.com. Melody Mover will set up your release as a preorder campaign and will take 25% of revenues from any sales.
