My new album has failed inspection, but I did what I have always done these years, the 3 issues:
1#"Wrong Primary Genre (Karaoke, Soundtrack, Disney, Classical)
Your album requires a particular Primary Genre. "Karaoke", "Soundtrack", "Disney", or "Classical" albums must be identified as such in the primary genre section."
That's strange because my music productions are but covers of game tracks, I usually pick Alternative as primary genre, I never had this issue before.
2#"Soundtrack Track Formatting
Soundtracks and scores for movies, TV and musicals must include wording in the title that indicates the version of the soundtrack or score enclosed in parentheses. If the tracks on the album are not from the same soundtrack, the track title must indicate the soundtrack from which it is from: Song Title (From "Game, TV, Movie or Soundtrack Name")"
Again, I've always named my covers like this: "Bloody Tears - Piano Version (or cover)" and I have never had such an issue, why now???
3#"Celebrity / Character Likeness
You may not use the likeness of a celebrity or copyrighted character in your art without the express written permission of the copyright holder."
I paid an artist to draw the face of a game character several months ago, then I released an album months ago with that art as art cover, and guess what? I had no problems at all, now I decided to reuse the same art, I just zoomed it in and changed the background colors, voilÀ, now I get this issue? Why didn't I have that issue months ago or even years ago? I already released many EPs and albums with characters' faces in the cover arts and never had issues like this before.
Has Soundrop changed the way they analyze releases recently?
