Audio Requirements
Ensure pristine quality for DSPs like Apple Music and Tidal.
- Format: WAV or FLAC (Lossless)
- Sample Rate: 44.1 kHz or higher
- Bit Depth: 16-bit or 24-bit
- Do not upload MP3 files. They lose quality when compressed by Spotify.

- Size: Exactly 3000 x 3000 pixels
- Format: JPG or PNG (RGB color mode)
- No social media logos, URLs, or barcodes

The Upload Process
Create Your Release
Log into your Arinas Music dashboard and click "New Release". Choose whether it's a Single, EP, or Album. Enter the primary metadata: Release Title, Main Artist, and Primary Genre.
> Action: Create Release
> Form: Single
> Status: Waiting for Metadata...
Upload Tracks & Assets
Upload your 3000x3000px Cover Art and your high-quality WAV files. Our system will automatically process the audio and check for silent headers or corrupt data to guarantee flawless playback.
Add Collaborators & Splits
If you have featured artists, producers, or co-writers, add them here. You can set up automatic Royalty Splits so your collaborators get paid directly into their own Arinas wallets without you lifting a finger.
Submit & Deliver
Choose your release date. We highly recommend setting your release date at least 3 weeks in the future. This gives you time to pitch the unreleased track to Spotify Editorial Playlists via your Spotify for Artists dashboard. Once submitted, our team reviews and approves it within 24-48 hours!
