Clear answers for artists and labels researching release planning, distribution readiness, playlist strategy, streaming support, campaign preparation, metadata review, and label services.

What is music release planning?

Music release planning is the process of organizing a release before it goes live. It includes distribution timing, metadata review, artist positioning, playlist readiness, streaming goals, campaign assets, rollout strategy, and reporting preparation.

How does DCI support release planning?
