If you are interested in transferring your catalog to Stem, it is important to note that you give your account manager a heads up that you are transferring content, and that you do not request your current distributor to take down your content right away. Your first step will be to upload via MANAGE CONTENT and selecting TRANSFER CONTENT.

Content should be delivered to Stem with all metadata and codes matching the original delivery exactly:

Chances of track-linking decrease with each differing piece of metadata between the two recordings.

When uploading content, please input the platform live date at least 7 days out. Note that the app will automatically do this for you.

After content has been submitted, processed and goes live, you may see duplicate versions of your release for a short amount of time on the platforms. Once you see it live on the platforms, please tell your previous distributor to remove their version.  You may want to reach out sooner if you selected YouTube content ID as assets may have an ownership conflict.
