If you want to set focus on Apple Music — especially for Dance, House or Techno releases — we recommend including both a standard and an extended version of your track. Here’s how to prepare your release accordingly:

• Include both versions when creating your release:
  • One standard version (no version title) for playlists and general listening
  • One Extended Mix clearly labeled in the version title (e.g. "Track Name (Extended Mix)")
• Bundle both versions within a single release, such as a two-track single or EP:
  • This is the most efficient setup and ensures a consistent experience across platforms
• Avoid separate releases for standard and extended versions unless absolutely necessary

This setup allows Apple Music to better support DJ-oriented content and offers your listeners more flexibility.

Apple Digital Masters

Apple offers the possibility for artists to deliver specially mastered versions of their songs, ensuring that Apple Music and iTunes customers experience the highest quality audio possible. Their advanced encoder fully utilizes the detail and richness of high-resolution masters that are specifically engineered for Apple.

To participate, please provide us with the following details:

• Studio name

• Studio location

• Engineer

• Phone

• Email

Please send us the mastered audio file according to the requirements of the Apple Digital Masters Guide found here: Mastered for iTunes

Note: Your studio must be certified as an official Apple Digital Master provider before you can submit tracks. This verification is essential to maintain the quality standards expected by Apple.
