How a release gets on Longplay
Three steps, in this order. Most releases go live on the date you set.
1
Deliver through your distributor
Choose Longplay in your distributor’s store list, or deliver directly if your label has a feed with us (sample).
2
Check the credits
We match players, producers and studios to the tracks; you can correct them before release day.
3
Release day
The album goes live at midnight local time, in order and gapless, with the credits.
A person, not a portal
Every label and self-releasing artist has a named contact in artist relations (sample). Ask about credits, a release date, a session or your statements.
