Enter album information:

Language: Choose a language to indicate where you want to sell the album. For more information, see Add localizations.

Artists: Click Add Artist, type the name and Apple ID of the primary artist on the album, then choose a role from the Role pop-up menu. iTunes assigns every artist a unique Apple ID; Apple recommends using the Apple ID to avoid the ambiguity in cases where artists share the same name as other music artists, or film actors or crew members. You can refer to the artist by name, Apple ID, or both. If you specify both a name and Apple ID, iTunes Producer ignores the name in favor of the Apple ID. To find the artist's Apple ID, see How do I find an artist’s Apple ID? in Featured tasks. For any subsequent updates, you can use the Apple ID instead of or in addition to the name, to avoid ambiguity. Only artists on the front cover or spine of the CD should be listed as having a primary role.

To add additional artists or other contributors (Songwriter, Remixer, Producer, and so on) to the album, click Add Artist again, type the name and Apple ID of the of the artist or contributor, choose a role for the artist or contributor from the Role pop-up menu, then select whether or not this is a primary role. You can also add composition-related contributors (for example, lyricist or composer) using Add Artist. Always include composition-related contributor information when available.

If you import album information or enter Album > Info information before Tracks > Info information, iTP automatically populates the track’s artist, genre, label name, and copyright information based on the album information. If you want to cascade all album artists to all tracks included in the album, including tracks added before the Album > Info information, click Cascade Artists.

Title: Type the name of the album in English. If the album’s native language is not an ISO Latin-1 or Latin-2 language (for example, Japanese), see Add localizations.

Title Version: Type a version description for the title in English, if applicable. You can use Title Version when there are multiple versions of the same album by the same artist. For example, "Remastered," "Bonus Track Version," or "Extended Version". If the album’s native language is not an ISO Latin-1 or Latin-2 language (for example, Japanese), see Add localizations.

Genre (Primary): Choose a genre for the album from the pop-up menu.

Genre (Secondary): Choose a second genre for the album, if applicable, from the pop-up menu.

Content Provider: Choose the provider you want to use for the current package. If your account is attached to more than one iTunes Connect provider, you can use Content Provider to choose the provider you want to associate with the current package.

Label Name: Type the name of the label that released the album. Apple uses this information for financial reporting.

Copyright: Type the copyright line (YYYY copyright info) for the album in the first Copyright field and the copyright line (YYYY copyright info) for the performance (sound recording for the album) in the second Copyright field. Do not type the word "copyright" or include any copyright symbols; it is added automatically. iTunes displays the performance copyright line in the iTunes Store.

UPC/EAN/JAN: Type a valid 12-digit UPC (Universal Product Code), 13- or 14-digit EAN (European Article Number), or JAN (Japanese Article Number) for the album identifier. Be sure to include the check digit. A unique code is required for each album. iTunes rejects any new album submitted with a previously-used code. You cannot change UPC/EAN/JAN codes once you deliver your album to the iTunes Store.

Original Release Date: Type the original date (YYYY-MM-DD) of the first consumer-available physical album release (LP, cassette, 8-track, CD, or other physical media). Use this same date for albums that are re-releases (for example, re-mastered, or releases on new media types such as CD, digital, and so on). You can enter values such as “today”, “tomorrow”, and “next month”, and iTP correctly formats the date. This is not the digital release date, unless this album has not previously been released on any format.

GRid Type the global release identifier (GRid) for the album. GRids must be unique across all products (the combined set of both albums and tracks). GRids must not be more than 18 alphanumeric characters. GRids cannot contain dashes (-), spaces, underscores (_), symbols, or other punctuation.

GRids are a new industry standard but still not widely used. If a GRid is not used at your company, do not enter a value.

Total Tracks: Type a positive number indicating the total tracks in the album. iTP multiplies the total number of tracks by the Wholesale Price Tier value to determine customer pricing.

Pre-order previews allowed: Select whether or not a pre-order’s media should be available for preview during the pre-order period. By default, iTP allows pre-order previews. Pre-order previews allowed only affects preview availability during the pre-order period, and applies to every territory and every track. When the pre-order ends and the album is released for sale, previews are always available.

Drag the album’s cover art to the Cover Art box, or click Choose and select a cover art file.

Cover art should be at least a 1400 x 1400 pixel JPEG or PNG file in RGB Color mode. For best results, deliver the largest pixel dimensions possible.

Do not scale up artwork if it is smaller than the required size. If you are scanning your cover art be sure to scan at the highest resolution, or at least 1400 x 1400 pixels. Cover art must be at least 72 dots per inch (dpi). Do not submit art that contains an embedded color profile, back cover, or thumbnail art.

To replace a previously added file, drag a new file to the Cover Art box or click Choose to select a new file. To delete and then replace the file, select the file and press the Delete key or click the Delete icon or choose Edit > Delete in the iTunes Producer menu, then add a new file.

Click Add Territory to change availability.

If you don't see a country or region that includes only the countries where the album can be sold, create a territory line entry for each country or region where the album can be sold.

Click Add Territory Group to add several territories at once.

To remove a previously added territory, select the territory and then click Remove Territory.

Use the search field to filter territories in the table by Code, Territory, Start, or Tier information.

Choose the country or region where you have rights to sell the album from the Territory pop-up menu.

Click Make Default to specify that you want iTP to use all the designated rights and pricing as the default rights and pricing for all future albums.

Enter rights and pricing information for the album:

Sales Start Date: Type the date (YYYY-MM-DD) on which the album will be available for sale in the selected territory. Albums won't be shown in the store until the specified Sales Start Date. If you do not provide a sales start date, the album is available for sale immediately after normal quality assurance processing.

Pre-Order Sales Start Date: Type the date (YYYY-MM-DD) on which the album will be available for pre-order sales in the selected territory. Albums won't be shown in the store until the specified Pre-Order Sales Start Date. The Pre-Order Sales Start Date must be earlier than the Sales Start Date. If you do not want to create a pre-order for the album, leave the Pre-Order Sales Start Date field blank.

Cleared for sale: Select whether or not the album should be made available for sale in the selected territory. By default, iTP clears the album for sale. Deselecting Cleared for sale removes the album from the iTunes Store. To include the fewest number of territories, choose World from the Territory pop-up menu. Because the product for the most specific territory is used, you can use Cleared for sale as an exclusion mechanism for a country or regional clearance. For example, if you have rights for the world except for the UK (GB), then you have two products: one for the world where you select Cleared for sale and one for the UK where you deselect Cleared for sale. iTunes sells the resulting album everywhere that you have a current agreement with the exception of the UK.

Cleared for Ticketmaster: Select whether or not the album should be made available for sale through the Ticketmaster website when customers buy event tickets in the selected territory. By default, iTP clears the album for Ticketmaster sale. Cleared for Ticketmaster is only available in certain territories.

Album Wholesale Price Tier: Choose a price tier for the album. Each tier's value is defined by the terms of your agreement. If you choose an invalid price, album pricing defaults to standard pricing. The album price cannot be higher than the sum of the prices for each track. Based on your country or region, iTunes automatically sets the suggested retail single price for each track you submit (per the terms of your agreement). If you do not choose a wholesale price tier, iTunes sells the individual tracks from the album, but does not offer the album for sale as a complete album.

For more information, click to display a pop-up dialog containing the available wholesale price tier names, pricing currency, and tier codes for the selected territory. To select an album wholesale price tier, click the tier name, then click Done.

Default Track Wholesale Price Tier: Choose a default price tier for all tracks in the album. Each tier's value is defined by the terms of your agreement. If you choose an invalid price, track pricing defaults to standard pricing.

For more information, click to display a pop-up dialog containing the available wholesale price tier names, pricing currency, and tier codes for the selected territory. To select a track wholesale price tier, click the tier name, then click Done.

Repeat steps 2 through 4 for each territory where you have rights to sell the album.

Click Next.

iTunes Producer displays the Tracks pane so you can continue describing your music and entering information about the tracks in the album. For more information, see About track details.

Do one of the following if you want to add a digital booklet or iTunes LP:

• Click Add Digital Booklet and drag and drop a PDF file (up to 10MB) into the File box to add a digital booklet to the album, or click Choose and select a file. You can enter copyright and vendor identifier information for the booklet.

  Copyright: Type the copyright line (YYYY copyright info) for the digital booklet. Do not type the word copyright or include any copyright symbols; it is added automatically.

  Vendor Identifier: Type a permanent, unique (with respect to the identifiers of other booklets included in the same package) identifier for the digital booklet. Apple recommends using the UPC of your album as the vendor identifier. Vendor identifiers do not need to be a fixed number of digits. Although vendor identifiers can contain digits, iTP treats them as strings, not numbers. Thus, a vendor identifier of “00000000012345” is not the same as “12345”. The vendor identifier can only contain up to 100 alphanumeric characters and underscores (_); it cannot contain spaces, dashes (-), ampersands (&), other punctuation, or symbols. The vendor identifier is case-sensitive and must not start with an underscore.

  Parental Advisory: Choose Clean, Explicit, or None from the pop-up menu to indicate whether or not a booklet contains explicit content. If you do not specify a parental advisory, iTP marks the digital booklet None to indicate a booklet for which neither a clean or explicit version exists. Choose Clean only if the digital booklet is an edited version of an original explicit form of the digital booklet.

• Click Add iTunes LP and drag and drop an iTunes LP zip file (up to 30MB) into the File box to add an iTunes LP to the album, or click Choose and select a file. You can enter vendor identifier, track and disc number, and locale and description information for the file. You can also add up to five screenshots for the iTunes LP.

  Vendor Identifier: Type a permanent, unique identifier for the iTunes LP. Apple recommends using the UPC of your album as the vendor identifier. Vendor identifiers do not need to be a fixed number of digits. Although vendor identifiers can contain digits, iTP treats them as strings, not numbers. Thus, a vendor identifier of “00000000012345” is not the same as “12345”. Vendor identifiers cannot be reused. The vendor identifier can only contain up to 100 alphanumeric characters and underscores (_); it cannot contain spaces, dashes (-), ampersands (&), other punctuation, or symbols. The vendor identifier is case-sensitive and must not start with an underscore.

  Track Number: and Disc Number: Indicates the track and disc number for the iTunes LP in the album. The iTunes Store displays the iTunes LP as the first track, but the iTunes LP must be the last track on the last Disc of the album. iTP automatically populates the Track Number and Disc Number fields. You should only change these settings with the advice of your Technical Account Manager.

  Locale: Click Add Locale, choose a locale from the pop-up menu, and type a localized description for the iTunes LP. The locale indicates both the language and the specific location where the language is spoken. You should provide a locale and localized description for each country where the iTunes LP is available. Descriptions can be up to 550 characters in length, can include Rich Text formatting, and must be suitable for public display. To add additional locales, click Add Locale again, choose a locale from the pop-up menu, and type a localized description for the iTunes LP. You must specify a default locale. By default, iTP uses the first locale.

  Description(s): Verify the locales and localized descriptions for the iTunes LP, and specify a default locale. By default, iTP uses the first locale. If you do not specify a locale and localized description for a country where the iTunes LP is available, the iTunes Store displays the default description. For example, if your agreement allows you to sell in the Japanese Store and you do not provide a Japanese locale and description, the specified default description appears in the Japanese Store.

  Screenshots: Click Screenshots at the bottom of the Tracks pane for an iTunes LP. Drag and drop a screenshot into the Screenshot box to add a screenshot to the iTunes LP, or click Choose and select a file, or click Add Screenshot and select a file. Use screenshots to give users an idea of your iTunes LP content. You must add at least one screenshot for the iTunes LP, and can add up to a total of five screenshots. Screenshots appear in the iTunes Store in the order listed, with the default screenshot used in the album page. To reorder screenshots, select the screenshot and drag and drop in the desired position in the box or use the up and down arrows to reorder the screenshots.

Click Add Track and drag and drop an audio file into the File box, or click Choose and select a file, or select an existing track at the top of the Tracks pane.

Title Version: Type a version description for the title in English, if there are multiple versions of the track or if you want to provide any additional identifying information. For example, "Remix," "Hidden Track," "Bonus Track," or "Live". You can use Title Version to distinguish different versions of the same track by the same artist (for example, "Live from San Francisco", "Pump You Up Remix").

A unique ISRC code is required for each track. An ISRC can appear more than once in the iTunes Store if the same recording is included in more than one album (for example, "greatest hits" albums tend to feature tracks from other albums). In this case, the two tracks must have exactly the same audio. A re-recorded, remixed, or otherwise different track (no matter how similar) must have a unique ISRC. You cannot change ISRC codes once you deliver your album to the iTunes Store.

Preview Start: Type the number of seconds (“##”) into the track that the preview should start playing. If you leave this field blank, the preview will start at 45 seconds for content over 75 seconds in length and 0 seconds for content under 75 seconds in length.

Parental Advisory Choose an advisory label to indicate whether the track is explicit or clean, if applicable. If you do not choose a value, iTP uses None.

Audio Language Choose the language in which the track is sung, if that language is different from the album language you specified. If you do not choose a language, iTP uses the album language. If a track is sung in Chinese, but you do not know if it is Mandarin or Cantonese, you can choose either as the audio language. If you get a warning when you deliver the metadata, you can edit the data to use the correct language.

Part of a gapless album: Select whether or not there is a gap in the audio separating the current track from the next track on the album. If selected, iTP does not add an audio gap during playback.
