Prohibited content
The following types of content are not eligible for distribution:
- Generic or Non-Musical Content: This may include nature sounds, meditation music, or public domain material.

- Incomplete or Promotional Content: Includes snippets, clips, teasers, or other incomplete versions.
- Harmful Material: Includes pornographic, defamatory, or hateful content.
- Misleading Information: Includes using a famous artist’s name or other deceptive tactics.
- Copyright-Infringing Material: Includes any content you do not have the rights to distribute.
- Store-Prohibited Content: Any material that violates major platform guidelines will not be accepted.

Remember that you must own the rights to release the music you submit to LANDR, and some types of releases may require proof of rights. To learn about releasing cover songs, check out this article. To learn about remixes, sample-based tracks, and other similar release types, check out this article.
Prohibited behaviors
- Artificial Streaming Manipulation: Using services that guarantee plays, employing "stream farms," or using automated bots is strictly prohibited. Streaming your own release on repeat is also discouraged by all stores. Using third-party services for stream generation or fake playlisting is not allowed. You can learn more in this article.
- Inappropriate Conduct: Disrespectful or rude behavior toward LANDR support staff will not be tolerated.
Repeated violations may result in permanent account deletion.
