You can choose the exact starting point—on 30-second boundaries—for preview clips that users hear on platforms like TikTok, Apple Music, and iTunes, for tracks over 1 minute and 16 seconds.
To do so, choose the second option on the "Preview Clip Start Time," of the submission form:
From there you will be shown a slider that lets you choose which 30 second section of the track you want to use for the preview.
For instance, on a 3-minute song, you can place the preview start at 20 seconds like the example below:
Not all platforms play the full-minute clip, so preview lengths may differ.
If your track is already live, click “Edit Release” on your album page, adjust the preview start time, and submit the update.
