How does Audible Magic recognition work for my release?

Once LabelGrid processes and delivers your release, your master is registered with Audible Magic so its acoustic fingerprint can identify your recordings. That fingerprint is then used by platforms, UGC services, and social apps to recognize your audio for rights identification and matching — Audible Magic is a content-identification service, not a store or streaming platform. Verify current Audible Magic registration timing and supported requirements before submission.
