Once your release is published through the Too Lost Uploader, it may take several days for it to be reviewed and delivered to services by our Quality Control team. Once your release has been accepted by our Quality Control team, it will take some time for stores and services to ingest your release. Each service has its own ingestion timelines and moderation processes, so some may go live sooner than others.
To ensure your release appears everywhere on time, we recommend setting your release date at least 2-4 weeks in advance. This gives you enough lead time to pitch your music for editorial consideration and promote your release across all platforms and social media.
Estimated Ingestion Times by Store/Service
| Spotify | 24-48 hours |
| Apple Music / iTunes | 24-72 hours |
| TIDAL | 1-3 business days |
| Amazon Music | 3-7 business days |
| Deezer | 3-5 business days |
| Pandora | 3-7 business days |
| YouTube Music | 3-7 business days |
| YouTube Content ID | 2-5 business days |
Important
- Once your release has been ingested by Spotify, you can claim your artist page prior to your first release. For assistance, please reach out to our Support team by creating an “Other Reason” ticket in the Support portal of your account.
- For all other services, you will need to wait until your first release goes live before you can claim your artist page.
- YouTube Content ID claims start 2-5 days after delivery, but work on both an automated & manual schedule maintained by YouTube's content moderation team. Some videos may take longer to claim.
