Watch out for
- Collecting metadata only at submission time, when writer, version, or rights context is harder to confirm.
- Keeping a metadata spreadsheet up to date while the audio, artwork, and links live somewhere else.
Workflow
Prepare label submissions from the catalog
A label submission should be assembled from ready song records. That keeps versions, metadata, and follow-up intact when the opportunity appears.

Practical guide
Make the choice operational
Use these checkpoints to evaluate the workflow, not only the feature list. The best tool should make the next review, share, or follow-up easier.
01 / 03
Step 1: Select from ready songs
Choose songs that already have clear versions and enough metadata rather than improvising a package under deadline pressure.
Worth noting
Categories evolve fast. Use this section as a snapshot, not a contract.

Step 2: Package with restraint
Create a focused playlist or private share. Add context that helps the listener, not a dump of every file you own.

Step 3: Follow up from the same system
Log the recipient and next task so the submission remains part of the catalog workflow.

Questions
Common questions, short answers
Use the fewest songs that represent the project clearly. A tight shortlist is usually easier to review than a large folder.
Only when the recipient asked for them or the next step clearly requires files beyond the listening versions.
Start with title, artist, writers, contact owner, version status, release status, BPM, key, tags, artwork, and any rights notes your team uses.
