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.
The barcode of your release — one per single, EP or album.
Digital Service Provider — a music service such as Spotify, Apple Music or Anghami, subject to current availability.
An ISRC (International Standard Recording Code) identifies a recording. Participating services may use it to match reports; code availability follows the current plan and applicable agreement.
What an ISRC identifies
An ISRC identifies a specific recording — not the song itself, but that exact recorded version. It's a 12-character code (like CC-XXX-YY-NNNNN). Participating platforms may use it with metadata and other identifiers to match usage reports. You need one ISRC per recording, you keep it for life, and a remix or a re-recorded version gets its own new ISRC.
ISRC — Review the current plan and applicable agreement.
A distributor may provide identifiers under its current terms. With Mazufa Records, code availability, eligible destinations, fees, deductions, reporting and royalties follow the current plan and applicable agreement; validate identifiers and metadata before submission.
Frequently asked
What is an ISRC code?
An ISRC (International Standard Recording Code) is a unique 12-character identifier for a specific recording. It lets platforms track streams and downloads and attribute royalties to the right owner.
Do I need an ISRC to release music?
Yes — stores and streaming services require an ISRC for each recording. Your distributor provides one for you, so you don't have to arrange it yourself.
How do I get an ISRC for free?
ISRC requirements and availability vary by release and current plan; validate each code before submission.
Do I need a separate ISRC for each song?
Yes — one ISRC per recording. Each track on an album gets its own, and a remix or new version gets a new ISRC too.
Does a remaster or remix need a new ISRC?
Yes. Any distinct recording — including a remaster, remix or re-record — should have its own ISRC so it's tracked separately.
