J’ai récemment effectué les démarches pour une sortie d’EP dans lequel on souhaite intégrer un single sorti deux ans plus tôt sous un autre nom d’artiste. Ne sachant pas si cela était possible, je m’étais renseigné au préalable, et j’étais tombé sur cet article du forum :
Je suis bien dans le cas évoqué dans la réponse de Melani puisque c’est avec mon compte que j’ai sorti le précédent single, donc nous devrions pouvoir l’intégrer à l’EP bien que le nom d’artiste soit différent sans pour autant avoir de retrait à effectuer.
Cependant il y a eu un problème au moment du contrôle qualité : on me demande d’effectuer un retrait du titre existant afin de le republier dans le cadre de cette sortie, pour qu’il n’y ai pas de doublons.
Or ce n’est pas ce que l’on souhaite, puisqu’on souhaite garder le titre existant tel quel et simplement l’intégrer au nouvel EP.
J’espère que ma problématique est claire. Pouvez-vous résoudre cela SVP ou me dire comment faire ?
Merci beaucoup d’avance.
Cordialement,
Guillaume
Yes, exactly. I added the song from my library on my account, then I imported the three others, and I didn’t have any problems until the payment step. However, a few days later, I received this message when I logged in. :
“We have noticed that your tracks are already available on streaming platforms. For legal reasons, it is not permitted to distribute the same tracks through multiple distributors simultaneously. Please confirm that the existing release has been or will be removed by your previous distributor no later than 5 business days after our release date. To do so, please click the “Submit” button below and enter a brief confirmation in the text box that appears, for example: “I confirm that the removal has been requested and will be completed by [date].” Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.”
What can I do to solve it ?
Thanks !

Ah, okie, now I understand. the songs have been released with an other distributor, in order to include them in a release with iMusician you first need to take them down from the other distributor - taking note of the ISRC Codes - and release them again with iMusician once the Takedown has been completed
I don’t think you understood. I released a single three years ago with the same Imusician account but under a different artist name. Today, I am releasing an EP that includes the single from three years ago. It is the same Imusician account, just with a different artist name. The single from three years ago was indeed in my Imusician library so I added it to the release. I probably don’t need to remove the existing title from the platforms, based on what I understand.
That’s most likely the issue. The main artist on track level (Guillaume Metz & Lucas Trautmann) doesn’t match the main artist on release level (Coussin Plume). Is that intentional?
Hello Carlos,
It is totally intentional. We changed our stage name, but it still refers to the same duo. We just want to include the single “Midsummer” in the EP under the old name so that we don’t have to request a takedown.
Is it possible ?
Thanks in advance
In terms of metadata coherency, I don’t think it makes a lot of sense to add a track by Guillaume Metz & Lucas Trautmann in Coussin Plume’s release, since they’re different artist names
