What links will TuneCore create for me?
TuneCore will create iTunes, Apple Music, and Spotify links to your release within your TuneCore account. You can find them by navigating to your release dashboard, selecting your release, and looking for the "Store Links" section below your release details (on the right side of the page).
How do I find my other store links links?
You can use our LinkShare feature to get links to your release in more stores!
To find your release in all other stores, you'll need to search for your release in each store. The best way to find your release in a specific store is to enter your release title and artist name in the search bar at the same time.
iTunes Links
Your iTunes and Apple Music links will be created as soon as your release reads “Live” in your TuneCore account. They are labeled "iTunes" and "Apple Music".
- You may receive an error message that reads “Item not available in your region” when your links are first generated. This is because iTunes has a processing time of 5 full days, so your links will not be active until the full processing time is complete.
- Please note that these links may not appear in your account until your release is actually available on iTunes. Sometimes, the link will not send you to your release on iTunes. This may mean your release is being reviewed by iTunes. Learn more.
You can also get a link to your release on iTunes by searching for it, 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. To fix your link so it brings fans to the iTunes Music Store, you will need to add the following to the end of your Apple Music 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
Follow these steps to see if a release is live in a foreign iTunes territory:
- Open the iTunes application (NOT www.itunes.com) on your computer.
- Scroll down to the very bottom of the iTunes store homepage and click on the flag that appears in the bottom right corner.
- Click on the country or region you're interested in searching.
- Type the release title or artist name into the search box at the top right corner (next to the magnifying glass).
- If the release you're looking for is live in that country or region, it will appear in the store.
- To switch back to your original iTunes store territory, scroll down to the bottom of the iTunes store homepage and click on the flag in the bottom right corner.
- Click on the country or region you wish you switch to.
