Prepare your master
Export the final mix as an uncompressed WAV — 24-bit / 48kHz is the delivery standard. Listen to the whole file once, start to finish, on headphones and on a phone speaker. Check the start and end for clicks, and leave no accidental silence at either end.
Artwork that passes review
Artwork requirements vary by destination. Confirm the current file, colour, text and logo rules before delivery.
Metadata & codes
Metadata is how the world finds you: artist name spelled exactly the same way every release, the real title with no decoration, the correct language and genre tags. Identifier codes — ISRC for the recording, UPC for the release — are assigned during onboarding; you do not need to buy them anywhere.
Choose your release date
Give yourself runway. A date several weeks out leaves room for review, delivery and pitching before day one. Align the date with anything you control — a video, a show, a post series — so the release lands with support rather than alone.
Apply for your invite
Mazufa is invite-only. Complete applications enter a human-review queue subject to capacity. Submitting never creates an account; approved applicants may receive a private onboarding invitation.
After approval
Once onboarded, an eligible release is prepared to current destination specifications. Available reporting depends on platform data and account access.
An ISRC identifies a recording; reporting and royalty coverage depend on each platform and agreement.

Why the rate isn't fixed
Most platforms use a "pro-rata" pool: they collect subscription and ad revenue, take their share, then split the rest among rights-holders by share of total streams. So your per-stream rate moves with the whole market, your listeners' countries, and whether they're paying subscribers.
