Too Lost’s new “Uploader” offers a new and easy way to upload your music to over 250 stores/platforms worldwide. The interface guides you along a step-by-step process, which leaves little to no room for error.
To use the Uploader, follow these steps:
Once you are logged into Too Lost, press the “Create” button to start your upload.
Choose one of your existing artist preferences, or press “Start From Scratch” to start your upload
Choose the release format (Album, EP or Single), fill in your “Release Title”
Next, drag in or upload your artwork for your release. Make sure your artwork follows the “Cover Artwork Requirements”, which are available here: https://help.toolost.com/hc/en-us/articles/360054808451-Cover-Artwork-Requirements
Add the “Release Date”, which is the day you want your release to become available in stores & streaming services. If you are uploading a release that was previously available, you can set the “Original Release Date” along with your release date.
Choose your “Primary Genre” for your release. You have the option to add a “Secondary Genre” as well, but it is not required.
Pick the language of your release. If your song is an instrumental, you may click on the box that says “No lyrics / instrumental”.
Next, add the record label name. If you don’t want to include a record label name, you could make something up or just add “Independent” or your artist name.
Fill out the “P-Line” and the “C-Line” for your release.
Next, you can choose the stores/platforms you want us to deliver your release to.
The next section is “Additional Delivery”, which includes optional services, and sometimes “time sensitive” opportunities.
Under optional information, you have the option to select the version type and the licensing type. Along with that, you can optionally add your own UPC code. The last options in the “Optional Information” section allows you to manually deselect stores/services and select or deselect different territories around the world to release your music in.
Next, upload or drag in your track(s) for your release. Once uploaded, press “Edit Track” to edit the information for the specific tracks. After you are done, press save changes and then press continue.
If you did all the steps correctly, you will see a preview of your release to review. If everything looks good, you can press “Publish Release”
A window will pop up with 2 boxes to check off, which states you agree to the “Terms of Use” and that you have the rights to distribute this music. Once those are checked, you can press “Publish Release” to finish your upload.
IMPORTANT:
Any releases published will be reviewed by our content team within 1-3 days.
We recommend uploading your track at least 2 weeks before it’s release date. This gives you enough time to make any modifications needed, and the stores/platforms enough time to ingest and schedule your release.
