Delivering your music to Facebook and Instagram allows their users to add your music to their stories. This certainly helps promote your music to a wider audience. To qualify, you must have exclusive rights to the recordings for your chosen territories and be eligible for distribution to Facebook and Instagram. Here’s a list of content that may be ineligible for Facebook and Instagram:

  • Sound effects

  • Spoken word / speech

  • Podcasts / radio show / album commentary

  • Sound-a-likes or unlicensed cover songs

  • Unlicensed remixes (slowed down, reverbed, sped up, sampled versions, and unauthorized use within generative AI music)

  • Unauthorized DJ & extended mixes

  • Production library music (stock music; licensed for use in film, television, radio or online. Including soundbeds, incidental scores, production loops, royalty-free music, non-exclusively licensed (for a fee or gratis))

  • Public domain

  • Insufficiently distinct recordings (Recordings where the music is insufficiently distinct from other legitimate sound recordings or where recordings of public domain compositions are indistinguishable)

  • Ambient, meditation, yoga, or sleep music

  • Karaoke recordings

Please note: If your release includes a track that doesn’t fulfil the criteria mentioned above, your release can’t be delivered to Facebook and Instagram with that track.
