Sound advice for Spotify selection 👂

When adding artists to your release on RouteNote, you should now be able to select any claimed Spotify artist profile. When you start typing the artist name you’ll see a list of artist profiles to choose from, select the correct artist profile or if you don’t have a Spotify artist profile yet, please select ‘None of these artists‘ on the drop-down menu.

If you’re linking one of the artists on your release to their existing Spotify profiles, there are a few things you’ve got to watch out for.

• Make sure it’s definitely your Spotify profile.
  
  If you pick the wrong artist profile, it may delay the distribution of the release or it will end up on the wrong artist’s profile, causing all sorts of problems.

• Make sure your artist has the same Spotify profile selected throughout the release metadata.
  
  If you’ve selected different artist profiles at album level and at track level, we’ll have to return the release to you and ask you to correct it, again delaying the distribution of your release.

• Two Spotify artist profiles.
  
  If you’ve somehow ended up with two Spotify profiles for one artist, you can’t add the artist twice and pick a different profile for each. Stores will reject a release set up this way.
