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.

Metadata is the information attached to your release — title, artist, credits, codes and genre. Get it right and your song is found, credited and paid correctly. Get it wrong and it's a mess to fix. Here's what matters.
What metadata includes
Consistency is everything — spell your artist name the same way every release so your profile stays unified across stores.
Clean metadata, current
Your distributor collects your metadata at upload and assigns ISRC/UPC codes automatically. Run through the release checklist to lock everything before you ship, then distribute to supported digital services with Mazufa — commission according to current plan terms, ownership subject to your agreement.
Frequently asked
What is music metadata?
Metadata is the information attached to your release — track and artist name, featured artists, songwriter and producer credits, ISRC and UPC codes, genre and language.
Why does metadata matter?
It determines how your song is found, credited, recommended and paid. Wrong or inconsistent metadata splits your profile, misroutes royalties and hurts discovery.
Who provides my ISRC and UPC?
Your distributor assigns both automatically at release. With Mazufa they're included current.
How do I keep my artist profile unified?
Spell your artist name identically on every release and use the same credits. Consistent metadata keeps all your music under one profile across stores.
Can I fix metadata after release?
Some fields can be updated after release through your distributor, but it's slower and not always reflected everywhere — get it right before you ship.
