If you choose the earliest possible release date (which requires the Priority Release Add-On), it will be published as soon as the distribution platforms process it.
To ensure simultaneous release across services on a specific day, set your release date at least four weeks in advance—otherwise, processing delays may prevent some platforms from going live on time.
Each streaming service has it's own typical processing time, which is estimated below:
Apple Music (1–7 days, with rare manual reviews adding 1–2 weeks),
Spotify (2–5 days),
Amazon (1–2 days),
YouTube Music (1–2 days),
TIDAL (~2 days),
Meta/Instagram (~1–2 weeks),
TikTok (1–2 days), and
Anghami (1–5 days plus 2–3 days for some reviews).
eMastered sends you an email when your release appears live. Delays can occur, especially when setting a specific release date—so scheduling 4 weeks out is typically the safest way to ensure everything releases at once (although delays can still occur).
