With Zndrke, you can distribute Singles and Albums to our digital store partners. Each store has its own way of categorizing content. Zndrke cannot control how the stores group and format their content.
Singles
In Zndrke’s platform, a single is one individual track.
In Apple Music
Your release will be classified as a single if:
The release is 1-3 tracks
The entire release is 30 minutes or less, and each individual track is less than 10 minutes long
Releases that meet the requirements above will automatically have “- Single” inserted in the release title within the Apple Music.
As a default, tracks will be sold for $0.99 on Apple Music if they are less than 10 minutes. If a single track is 10 minutes or longer, Apple Music will automatically sell the release at an album price.
In Spotify
Your music will be classified as a single if:
The release is under 30 minutes
The release has three or fewer tracks
Spotify will not change the title of your release.
Albums
In Zndrke’s platform, an album is a release with two or more tracks. Albums can contain up to 100 tracks and have a maximum duration of 2.5 hours.
In Apple Music
Any release with seven or more tracks will be considered an album on Apple Music
Any release that has 1-6 tracks but is over 30 minutes long will be considered an album on Apple Music
There may be cases where you release an album through Zndrke and the release is labeled as a “Single” or “EP” in the Apple Music Store.
EPs
Zndrke does not have a product specified as an EP, but some albums released through Zndrke will be classified as EPs on Apple Music and Spotify.
In Apple Music
In order for a release to be considered an EP, it must meet one of the following two requirements:
The release has a total of 1-3 tracks, one or more of the tracks is 10 minutes or longer, and the entire release is less than 30 minutes
The release has a total of 4-6 tracks and the entire release is less than 30 minutes
If your release meets the above requirements, Apple Music will automatically insert "- EP" in the release title on the Apple Music.
In Spotify
Your music will be classified under the EP category if:
The release is under 30 minutes
The release has 4-6 tracks
Spotify will not change the title of your release.
