A rejected release won’t be distributed. Open the release to read our reason in the Rejected box. Problems that can be fixed, such as artwork or titles, are usually sent back as Revision requested instead.

​
Find the reason

  1. Open Releases and click the release marked Rejected.
  2. Read the Rejected box at the top of the page. It shows the date it was reviewed and the reason.
We also email you when a release is rejected.

​
Reasons we reject releases

These are the reasons in our distribution policy:
  • AI-generated music or AI personas. We don’t distribute music that is generated by AI or released under an AI artist identity.
  • Uncleared samples. Samples are fine, but every sample must be cleared. Heavy sample use can also be a reason.
  • Rights you don’t hold. For example, a cover or remix released without permission, or someone else’s recording.
  • Music that isn’t a fit for AMM Distro.
We can also stop accepting releases from an account for these same reasons.

Rejected or revision requested?

​
What you can do

  • Ask us about it. If you have questions about the decision, send us a message from the chat on this page, or email team@ammdistro.com. Your manager can explain it.
  • Delete the release. Rejected releases can be deleted. Open it and click Delete at the top of the page. This can’t be undone.
If the problem was something you can fix, such as clearing a sample, talk to us before creating the release again.

Common questions

​
Can I resubmit a rejected release?

No. A rejected release can’t be edited. Talk to us first, and if the issue can be resolved, we’ll tell you how to proceed. If a release is disabled pending a copyright review, you can respond to the claim from the claims page in AMM Distro. While an account is frozen for a claim, you can still view and respond to claims.
