Validation Errors, how to solve them?

When trying to distribute your release, if you have not correctly entered the metadata (the release information), the system may detect a validation error that will appear in the following red button on the "4. Preview and Distribute" tab:

How to solve it?

If you want to distribute a one-track single:

• Artists must be the same and have the same roles on both sides (general and track level). You can adapt the names at a general level in the "1. Album info" tab and at the track level by clicking on it in the "4. Preview and Distribute" tab.
• Having a single track, the title should be the same at album and track level. If you get the validation error it is that the title is not written identically on both sides.

For any other type of format (singles with more than one track, EPs and albums):

• Artists must be the same and have the same roles on both sides (general and track level). You can adapt the names at a general level in the "1. Album info" tab and at the track level by clicking on it in the "4. Preview and Distribute" tab.

It is important to note that the title of the album must match the one indicated in the cover image, otherwise you must make the relevant changes so that the text is the same. We detail all the information regarding the covers in our Style Guide.

Once you have modified the corresponding data, if you update the page you will see that the previous red button turns green and that you can continue with the distribution process: 

You can find more information in Frequent Errors.

If for some reason, even after making the necessary changes, you are still unable to validate the release, you can contact our support department: support@lacupulamusic.com.
