Bringing your back catalogue
Older releases belong here too, including the ones already out on streaming.

Round up your releases
Pull together your audio, track order, and runtimes. If you kept a log or screenshots of past releases, this is where they pay off. New work and back catalogue both belong here.
Upload as drafts, polish later
Get the audio in as drafts straight away. Add the cover art and liner notes whenever you dig them out. A real cover is the one thing you need before a release goes live, so the rest can wait.
Already on streaming? Expect a quick review
If a release is already out on Spotify, Apple, or a distributor, the upload may flag it as a known commercial recording and pause for a human review. That is expected for your own distributed work. Request the review and an admin clears it.
Credit it and publish
From here it is the same as any release. Declare your Creative Credits and publish, with pay-what-you-want pricing above an automatic minimum.

Bringing exports from a generator? The free rescue scan reads your folder in the browser, nothing uploaded, and shows which tracks still carry their traces.
Why a release already on streaming needs a check: how we protect originals.
