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.

What a pre-save does
When a fan pre-saves, your track is automatically added to their library the instant it releases. That concentrates plays into the first day - a strong day-one signal that helps Spotify recommend your song through Release Radar and Discover Weekly. The catch: you need your release scheduled in advance to run one, which is exactly what a distributor lets you do.
Set up a pre-save in 4 steps
Schedule your release early
Deliver your song to your distributor 3-4 weeks ahead so it gets a Spotify URI before release. Release current with Mazufa and pick your date.
Create a pre-save / smart link

Put it in your bio

Promote it before release day
Share the pre-save in stories, posts and short videos for the 2-3 weeks before launch. Every pre-save becomes a Subject to eligibility and platform review day-one stream.
