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.

Need to remove a song, fix a typo, or swap the artwork? You do it through the distributor that delivered it — not the stores directly. Here's how takedowns and edits work.
Removing or editing a release
Go through your distributor
Availability varies by service, territory, eligibility and current terms.
Request a takedown or edit
Choose to fully remove the release, or edit fields like title, credits or artwork where the platform allows it.
Allow processing time
Changes propagate to stores over a platform-dependent processing period — removals and edits aren't instant everywhere.
Keep your stats where possible
Small edits are safer than a full takedown-and-redo, which can reset a song's streams and playlist placements.
Get it right the first time
The best fix is not needing one. Run the release checklist and readiness checker before you ship so your metadata, artwork and audio are right. With Mazufa you manage releases current — commission according to current plan terms, ownership subject to your agreement.
Frequently asked
How do I take down my music from Spotify and other stores?
Availability varies by service, territory, eligibility and current terms.
Can I edit a release after it's live?
Often yes — fields like credits, artwork or metadata can sometimes be updated through your distributor, though not eligible platforms allows every change after release.
How long does a takedown take?
Removals and edits typically propagate to stores over a platform-dependent processing period; they're not instant across eligible platforms.
Will taking down and re-uploading reset my streams?
Usually yes — a full takedown and fresh re-release can reset stream counts and playlist placements. Prefer a small edit over a redo when possible.
