You can make edits to your music after it has been uploaded by visiting your Catalog page from your eMastered dashboard and clicking "Edit Release." This brings you to the edits page for that release.

You can submit many types of edits for your release through the edits page. Once you've made the update to your release via this page, click "Submit Edit Request" at the bottom of the page.

Streaming services typically process edit requests within a few days, but please be aware that metadata updates may take up to 1-2 weeks for changes to take place in all services.

Outside of edit requests, eMastered can also help you remove your release from a specific service, remove it from specific countries, or change the genre of a release if you contact our support team.

Please note that services do not permit uploading a release, deleting it, and then re-uploading with different metadata (like artist name or titles). It's best to submit an edit request while your release is live.

What Types of Edits Are Possible?
The types of edits you can make vary from song to song depending on your release, but possible edits include the following:

Artist/Band Name 
Add or remove collaborators at the album or track level 
Album title 
Record label 
Release date 
Pre-order status and pre-order start date 
Album Artwork 
Song titles 
Song version information 
Whether or not the lyrics are explicit 
Preview clip start time 
Delete the release from services 

What Types of Edits Are Not Possible?
The following things cannot be changed through the edits page:

Track order/listing 
Release language 
Removing Album Extras 
Genres 
ISRCs 
To change any of the above, you will need to delete your release and re-upload a corrected version.

How Long do Edit Requests Take?


Once an edit request is submitted, most services typically process the request within a few days. It can take up to 1-2 weeks for changes to take place in all services.

Overall, the entire editing process from start to finish can take anywhere from 1-3 weeks (excluding artist name rebrand requests, which can take up to several months), and we're not able to expedite the process on our end once a request has been submitted to services. It is not possible to cancel a request or submit additional edits prior to the previous request being approved.
