TuneCore will generate iTunes, Apple Music, and Spotify links to your release within your TuneCore account. You can find them by navigating to your release dashboard, then looking for the "Store Links" section below your release details.
To find your releases in all other stores, please input your release title and artist name in the same search field. Searching both the release title and artist name together is the best way to locate your release in stores.
Your iTunes links will be generated as soon as your release reads “Live” in your TuneCore account. They are labeled as "iTunes Link" and "Apple Music Link".
- You may receive an error message that reads “Item Not Available” when your links are first generated, this is because iTunes has a processing time of 5 full days, your links will not be active until the full processing time has completed.
- Please note, these links may not appear in your account until your release is actually available in iTunes. Sometimes, the link will not send you to your release in iTunes. This may mean your release is being reviewed by iTunes. Learn more.
You can also get a link to your release in iTunes by searching for it and right clicking over your cover art and clicking, 'copy link.'
If you have an iTunes link to your release that is only bringing fans to Apple Music, you may have the wrong link. In order to fix your iTunes link so it brings fans to the iTunes Music Store you will need to add the following to the end of your iTunes link: ?ls=1&app=itunes
Example:
- Link to Apple Music: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/blacked-out/id999999999
- Link to iTunes download store: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/blacked-out/id999999999?ls=1&app=itunes
