YouTube Music Art Track Ingestion Fails but Content ID Delivery Succeeds

1 min read

When distributing to YouTube Music and YouTube Content ID, you may see Content ID succeed but the YouTube Music art track fail. This puts you in default of YouTube's content commitment requirements.

This happens because YouTube coordinates processing of the Content ID sound reference alongside the art track sound reference.

What to Do

Hitskope monitors for these cases daily and will fix the issue for you. If you want to resolve it yourself, simply redeliver your release to YouTube Music.

In rare cases, this may fail again. If that happens:

  1. Take down the Content ID release.
  2. Redeliver the YouTube Music release. Wait until you confirm it processed correctly.
  3. Redeliver the Content ID release.
