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. Here's a list of content not eligible on Facebook and Instagram.

  • production loops

  • sound beds

  • sound effects

  • cover songs

  • sound-alikes

  • karaoke recordings

  • classical music recordings of compositions in the public domain

  • meditation, yoga, or sleep music

  • DJ sets, or continuous mixes, or other similar compilations

  • Unlicensed tracks included in soundtracks or compilations

Facebook and Instagram also don’t accept non-music content like the following:

  • spoken word recordings / speeches

  • comedy recordings

  • film recordings (that are not the musical score of a film)

  • speeches

  • prayer recordings

  • audiobooks

  • podcasts

  • nature or wildlife recordings

  • ambient sound recordings

  • recordings or descriptions of sexual acts

Please note: If your release includes at least one track that matches the content mentioned above, the entire release will be ineligible for delivery to Facebook and Instagram.

I can't find my music on Facebook and Instagram. What should I do?

If your release contains any content that meets any of the above, it unfortunately can't be on Facebook and Instagram. To ensure your music gets onto Facebook and Instagram, please make sure your music meets their eligibility guidelines.
