In order to distribute a DJ mix to Apple Music, you'll need to meet a few metadata requirements. Here's what you need to know to successfully deliver a DJ mix.
Just to be clear, A DJ mix is "an album containing multiple tracks overlaid or otherwise mixed together for continuous play."
- DJ Mix albums must NOT be delivered as a single audio file. It does need to be delivered as separate tracks.
- The release must list the DJ or artist at the album level and identify them as primary.
- Tracks that appear on DJ mixes must list the original artists as primary.
- DJ Mix albums must include a title version of "(DJ Mix)" in the album-level version information.
- Mixed tracks appearing on a DJ Mix must include the title version [Mixed] after all other version information.
