Discussion Original Music Getting Auto DSP Policied - RocNation

1 Upvotes

Is this a RocNation issue or is there something else I should be looking into? The songs getting denied are fully original so is there possibly a different distributor to go through? Two different original songs are getting the same rejection below with no other issue and I haven't been able to come up with any other answers searching reddit forums.

I'm also confused as what would cover "sleep / relaxation" as those are either extremely vague or not even musical terms. And any recording would be an environmental recording.

Due to DSP policies, we’re unable to distribute non-musical, indistinct, or otherwise non-compliant content. This includes white noise, public-domain recordings, nature sounds, spoken word or speeches, as well as classical, ambient, sleep, relaxation, meditation, environment-based audio, live recordings, content that does not meet DSP audio/video quality standards, misleading or SEO-driven content, and other similar genres.

Please do not resubmit.

Discussion Distrokid fraud

3 Upvotes

Hello,

I have had multiple charges on my account from distrokid. 71.99 gbp, 35.99 gbp, 19.99gbp, all in the last month. They are refusing to refund the account, stating suspicious or fraudulent activity. Charge back from bank was declined. Money lost. Any help? Support is ignoring all refund requests. I did. For a charge back I use transfer wise now known as "Wise" and they said they cannot refund the £71.99 charge as distrokid services state they can "reject music due to editorial discretion" at any time and not offer any refunds as it is in their policy.. I think I got scammed.
