The most critical guidelines to consider when preparing your content for delivery are:
The following kinds of content may be rejected:
Public domain content
1.1. Use of Apple Inc. Copyrighted Terms. Content that is not produced by Apple Inc. must not use Apple trademarks (including the Apple logo, Apple Inc., or Apple product names, such as iPhone, Apple Music, or iTunes) in the cover art or metadata in a manner that makes the content appear to be Apple-branded.
1.2. Advertising. Metadata, audio, and cover art must not contain advertising. For example, metadata must not contain references to competitors of Apple Music or iTunes, nor to any URLs, logos, or dates for future product releases. Search terms and keywords must not be included in metadata or cover art.
1.3. Editorial Corrections. Apple Music and iTunes reserve the right to correct any errors in grammar, spelling, and punctuation.
1.4. Complete Albums and Tracks. All tracks that exist on the physical version must be delivered and the track count must match. For example, if the physical version of an album has ten tracks, and the version provided contains eight tracks, the album is incomplete. The album will be marked Partial and the Buy Album button will not be displayed on iTunes.
1.5. Track Count Limit. An album must not have more than 500 tracks.
