Distro releases are not showing up on Facebook or Instagram audio library?
Updated over a week ago

If your releases are not appearing in the Facebook or Instagram Audio Library, please refer to the following guidelines based on the release date.

Releases Before July 10, 2024

We added the Facebook and Instagram Audio Library on July 10, 2024. Any releases sent before this date were not delivered to these platforms.

Releases After July 10, 2024

If the release is NOT showing after 30 days then it may be for one of the following reasons:

  • Song is still processing and had to go through manual review at FB/IG

  • The song contains a commonly used beat. Social audio libraries like Instagram, TikTok, and Snap want to make sure that all the sounds are differentiated and may not release songs that sound too similar to another one.

  • The song contains copyrighted content which was flagged by the service

  • The service is still indexing your artist name or release name. Until your name is indexed, it may not appear in search, despite your music being live. This generally happens if this is the first time using your artist name or if you are using a commonly used name.

Unfortunately. FB/IG does not provide any customer support to troubleshoot this and once we send them the songs, they do not give us an update on when it goes live or if there is an issue. So the only thing you can do to troubleshoot is to try sending your songs again. Here's how to do that:

  1. Go to your Distro Hub and tap on the song you want to re-submit

  2. Tap on the three dot song menu

  3. Choose "Edit"

  4. Click "Continue" without making any edits (unless you want to)

  5. Submit the song for review

Once it goes through the review process again we will resend it to FB/IG. Don't worry, your song will not be removed in the meantime and you will still get any streams or royalties. If the song still is not showing up on IG/FB then it must be a result of one of the reasons listed above. Unfortunately, Facebook does not provide any recourse to fix that aside from resubmitting.
