Album avec une seule piste nommé différemment

Bonjour,

Il semble que la plateforme n’autorise pas la publication d’un album avec une seule piste dont le nom est différent du titre de l’album. Dans mon cas il s’agit bien d’un album, la piste fait plus de 58 min.

Comment faire ?

Est-ce que je peux mettre une 2ème piste “fantôme” pour valider la commande et vous demander de la supprimer après ?

Autre question, qu’est-ce qui est accepté comme piste en terme de durée ? Car je pourrais éventuellement ajouter une seconde piste avec 5 seconde de quelque chose pour clore.

Merci d’avance

Hello @WOLZT,

We cannot accept a single release with different titles. The duration of the tracks is important in determining the type of release: single, EP, or album.

If you proceed with the release, you will see the type of the release change to the correct one. What is your project about? The best practice would be to deliver an album containing multiple tracks.

Hi @Melani,

This is an album that’s conceptually linked to another one, so it shares the same name as the previous album with the suffix “: Part Two,” and it’s a concept album consisting of a single track that’s about an hour long. It’s important to me to be able to give the track a single title that reflects an artistic intention and storytelling. There’s also a political stance in defending the album format, in opposition to the current trend of playlists everywhere with tracks averaging 2 minutes and 30 seconds in length. Since I’m completely opposed to this way of “consuming music”, I’m releasing something radically different, as you’ve probably gathered. If you don’t have the technical ability to do this, I’ll split the track’s outro into a second track to resolve the issue, but that would be a shame to not being able to release my album as originally conceived.

Which brings me to my second question: What is the minimum accepted length for a track?

Regards

Hello @WOLZT, yes it would be great to have an album with multiple tracks respecting the platform’s guidelines.

You can have a look at the different classifications here:

The minimum length is 30seconds.

Best,

Hi there,

My next release includes a track that’s over 58 minutes long. The file is in 24-bit/96 kHz and 2.02 Go, however, I can’t use it. It loads fine, but the validation seems to fail, and the following message appears: “Data is missing statusCode property”.

I didn’t have any problems uploading the same file to Bandcamp.

Regards

Hey @WOLZT , I ve already suggested to divide the tracks. We are unable to deliver this type of release, better to upload it as a mix on Mixcloud then.

Best.
