Ineligible content on Social Media Platforms

If you have selected Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok as a platform for distributing your music, please be aware that not all content is allowed.

Social platforms, such as Meta (Instagram/Facebook) and TikTok have announced a further reduction of eligible content types and genres. Songtradr has implemented stricter curation efforts to ensure compliance with these new guidelines.

Ineligible content:

  • Production loops

  • Soundbeds

  • Sound Effects

  • Remixes

  • Covers

  • Library music

  • Sound-alike covers

  • Karaoke tracks

  • Modern Classical Music / Classical music recordings of compositions in the public domain

  • Film scores

  • Ambient, meditation, new age, yoga, or sleep music

  • DJ sets, live, extended and continuous mixes

  • Spoken Word/Speech

  • Comedy recordings

  • Film recordings (that are not the musical score to a film)

  • Speeches

  • Royalty-free music, non-exclusive, subscription-based stock music

  • Prayer recordings

  • Non-original or distinct music

  • Slowed down, sped up, sample versions of others' recordings without permission

  • Harmful Explicit Content, including recordings or descriptions of sexual acts, hate speech, strong profanity, explicit violence, or content promoting self-harm, suicide, and discrimination based on race, religion, gender, or identity.

Our system automatically blocks most of the above from being delivered to social media platforms, so please don't try to bypass these restrictions. Repeatedly uploading this type of content will result in your tracks being removed and may lead to penalties, account blocks, or the loss of your monetization access.
