Hi Love Fav,
Thank you for taking the time to leave this review. I'm sorry your experience has been frustrating, and we'd genuinely like to help resolve what you're running into.
In the interest of being straightforward, our team has no record of you reaching out to our support channels before posting this review. We can't fix what we don't see, and we would much rather have had the chance to work through these issues with you directly.
On the specific points you raised:
1.)The sign-out behaviour during uploads is most commonly caused by a dropped connection on the customer's end, usually a VPN session resetting or a brief WiFi disconnect mid-upload. It's not something we've seen happen on a stable, direct connection. If you're using a VPN, try disabling it for the upload and see whether the experience changes.
2.) Upload times shouldn't run into hours under normal conditions. File size, format, and connection speed all factor in, but if you're consistently seeing very long uploads, that's something we want to diagnose with you. Most singles can be done within 5-10 minutes, and albums depend on the size of the album.
Reaching our team is straightforward through any of these:
-Live chat widget at the bottom right of unchainedmusic.io (typical reply under 24 hours on weekdays)
-Support form at unchainedmusic.io/faq/support
If you reach out today, we're happy to prioritize helping you work through these issues.

Unchained Music has been one of the…
Unchained Music has been one of the most frustrating distribution services I’ve dealt with. Their support replies take forever, and when they finally respond, it often feels automated and unhelpful. I waited through unnecessary delays only to have my music denied for distribution without any clear explanation or proper guidance on how to fix the issue.
As an artist, you expect communication and transparency, but the experience felt extremely unprofessional. Delays, late replies, and vague rejection reasons made the whole process stressful and a waste of time. Definitely not reliable if you want smooth and timely music distribution.

Hi Shayan,
Thanks for taking the time to leave feedback. We take reviews seriously, but we want to respectfully share some context, because the experience you've described doesn't match what's on file for your account.
Looking at your support history with us, the one ticket you opened (regarding your "YOU AND ME" release in early April) was answered and closed in under 24 hours, which is well within our standard response window for the Grow plan which sits at 3 days. We don't have any other open or unanswered tickets tied to your email. If there's a conversation we missed, please reply here or write to support and we'll trace it down.
On the rejection reasons, we want to address this directly. When a release is flagged, our team leaves comments on the specific fields that need to be corrected, and those comments include the exact technical spec required to fix the issue. On your most recent release, the comments noted the following that were provided to you:
-The audio file was 32-bit, and we listed every accepted format and bit depth (.wav or .flac, 16-bit or 24-bit at the supported sample rates).
-The ISRC field needed the code previously assigned to that release rather than a new one.
-The cover art needed to be unique to the release, and the parental advisory sticker can only be used if the release is marked explicit.
Each of those is a concrete, fixable instruction tied to a specific field, that was provided to you in your dashboard, via the support ticket you opened, and you were notified of via email. We bring this up not to dismiss your frustration, but because other artists reading your review deserve an accurate picture of how our review process works.
We do understand that having a release bounced is stressful, especially when you're ready to put music out. If you'd like, we'd be glad to walk you through the corrections over email so we can get your release live as quickly as possible. Just reply to your existing ticket and we'll pick it back up.
Best,

Unchained music.io is untrustworthy and scammed
Please don’t use this service, I have uploaded my music containing part AI. First album they accepted and distributed, second album was rejected and asked me plenty questions, after I submitted those answers, they rejected my distributed album. When I requested a refund they stated that:
With regards to your refund request for your subscription, we unfortunately cannot issue a refund once our service has been engaged. By creating an account, uploading content, submitting releases for review, and agreeing to our Content Policy, Anti-Fraud Policy and Distribution Agreement, at the time of upload, the services included in your subscription have already been utilised.
Actually I used this service but I don’t get any service apriciately and they declined my membership without proper notification. And they don’t want to refund me even I warned them to leave bad reviews on TrustPilot but it seems they don’t care about bad reputation.
Please stay away from this platform if you don’t want to be wasting money and time and effort. They are most likely scam !

Hi NK Incorporation,
Thank you for sharing your experience however we'd like to address your points directly and transparently so that anyone reading this has the full picture.
Regarding AI content and Suno:
Our Content Policy (unchainedmusic.io/legal/content-policy) and AI Statement (unchainedmusic.io/legal/ai-statement) are publicly available and must be agreed to at the point of signup and again at the point of upload. Section 6.2 of our Content Policy explicitly states that content generated using AI models with unclear, undisclosed, or unlicensed training data is rejected without exception, and specifically names Suno as a disallowed platform alongside Udio and Mureka.
We understand that Suno's premium plan may grant commercial usage rights on their platform however that does not override the content policies of distributors, DSPs, or Unchained Music. The issue is not whether you have a Suno subscription, but whether the AI model's training data is transparently and ethically sourced. Until Suno's datasets are independently verified, content generated using it is not eligible for distribution through Unchained Music. This position is aligned with the broader music industry's approach to protecting creators' rights.
Regarding your first album being accepted:
We continuously strengthen our review processes as AI detection methods and industry standards evolve. If an earlier release was approved that would not meet current standards, that does not set a precedent but rather it reflects an ongoing commitment to improving our content review. We apply our policies consistently moving forward.
Regarding your refund:
As outlined at signup, once our services have been engaged, including content upload and release submission for review, the subscription has been utilised. Our team reviewed your submissions, asked clarifying questions, and carried out the quality control process included in your plan. That is the service in action, even when the outcome is a rejection.
Regarding your characterisation of our platform:
Unchained Music is not a scam. We are a registered music distribution company that exists to protect and empower independent artists. Our policies are designed to uphold the integrity of our catalogue and ensure compliance with DSP requirements. We apply these standards equally to every user.
Threatening negative reviews does not change how we apply our policies, but we will always respond openly and honestly when our reputation is called into question.
We wish you the best with your music and would encourage you to explore AI tools built on verified, ethically sourced datasets, as a list of certified models can be found at fairlytrained.org/certified-models.
Best,
Unchained Music
The worst experience I've ever had.
The worst experience I've ever had with any service or company. They advertised free distribution so I registered and uploaded well mixed and mastered song with a good quality cover image, which all easily fulfilled the requirements. It gave an error without details several times, and support couldn't explain why either. It finally went through months after uploading for the first time.
I had given up hope long ago, but a week ago I got an email that my song will be available on Spotify in two days. And behold, it finally appeared, 3 weeks short of a YEAR after uploading it for the first time. Yet it still shows with an error in the web app.
I asked the support to take it down since I don't want anything to do with a company like this. They replied that the song hasn't been published since it would require an active subscription. Yet I already listened it on Spotify a few times.
So, free distribution isn't free, yet goes through a year later. Good luck with that.
REPLYING TO UNCHAINED’S RESPONSE:
The cover art was changed when the first upload gave an error, to make sure it didn’t fail because of that. It was then reuploaded to your services with this exact cover art. I have never even tried to upload any music through any other agents. Also, until today the song showed an error on your web platform but if I clicked to it through the artist roster it showed as published. You have now changed it to “removed”, so hopefully that means it’ll be removed from Spotify as well.

Hi Aki,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and I'm sorry to hear about the frustration you've had.
I want to clarify a couple of points. Our support team has confirmed that your release "Speak" has not been delivered to stores through Unchained Music. It is not in our processing queue, has not been distributed via our platform, and was removed from our system in early 2025. Furthermore, the release that you provided us in 2025 does not have matching cover art to the release that is currently live on Spotify, so it could not have been delivered by us because we have no record of the new cover art.
If the song is currently live on Spotify, it would have been delivered by another distributor, and we'd recommend reaching out to them directly regarding any takedown requests. This was communicated to you via the support ticket you opened.
If you have any further questions, our support team is happy to help in the support ticket you currently have open.

Terrible and misleading service.
Terrible and misleading service.
I paid for a subscription specifically because it advertised YouTube Content ID, but after payment, I was denied access to this feature with no clear justification.
Instead, they falsely accused me of using AI-generated music, which is completely untrue, and failed to provide any evidence to support this claim.
Key limitations were not clearly disclosed before purchase, and when I requested a refund, it was refused with generic excuses.
This feels like deceptive and dishonest business practices. Very disappointing experience — I do not recommend this service.

Hi Valerii,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We take all reviews seriously, so we'd like to provide some context for anyone reading this.
Every release uploaded to our platform undergoes audio fingerprinting analysis via industry standard tools. Both of the tracks in question from your account, "Serotonin" and "Skyline Siege", returned an extremely high likelihood of AI-usage, with Suno identified as the likely source. This failure was provided to you via a support ticket. Combined with your AI generated visuals among other flags, our human reviewers decided that this was not eligible for YouTube Content ID and needed supporting documentation regarding the creation process.
YouTube sets the eligibility requirements for Content ID, not Unchained Music. We are unable to deliver content to Content ID that does not meet YouTube's policies, which explicitly prohibit AI-generated material. This isn't a limitation we chose to hide as it's a platform-wide requirement enforced by YouTube itself.
To be clear, your account, your subscription, and your access to all other features of the plan remain fully intact. The limitation applies only to Content ID eligibility for these specific releases.
If these tracks were genuinely produced by you, this is straightforward to resolve. A screen recording of your DAW session showing the original project files would allow us to review the decision. We've always been happy to work with artists who can demonstrate original creation.
Our support team responded to your enquiry in detail via email. We remain available to continue that conversation directly.

Hi Frank,
We're sorry to hear your experience wasn't what you hoped for, and we'd like to address your concerns directly.
Our AI content policies and audio format requirements are published in full on our website before any account is created.
Specifically:
Our Content Policy (unchainedmusic.io/legal/content-policy) clearly outlines our AI content standards, including a list of currently disallowed AI platforms such as Suno, Udio, and Mureka, due to unverified training data.
Our AI Statement (unchainedmusic.io/legal/ai-statement) explains in detail why we hold AI-generated content to an ethical standard and how we enforce that standard.
These policies are not hidden as they are linked in the footer of the website, and you agree to the content policy at both the time of setup of your account, as well as at the point of distribution when you attempt to release music. We take this approach specifically to protect the artists and creators on our platform from being overshadowed by non-compliant or mass-generated content.
Regarding your refund request our policy is that refunds are issued when an error has been made on our side or you have not used the services. This is also available in our Terms of Service and our FAQ prior to signup. In this case, you attempted to release content that did not meet the published requirements, and therefore were not entitled to a refund. While we understand that can be frustrating, we don't believe it's unreasonable to ask that users review the platform's requirements before committing to a subscription.
We genuinely want every artist on our platform to succeed, and our support team is always happy to help with questions about format requirements or AI compliance before you upload. If you'd like to discuss this further, please don't hesitate to reach out to us directly.

Unprofessional and clunky experience
I have been with Unchained for almost a year on the Pro tier, and in that time there have been a multitude of complications and frustrations.
One particular grievance I had was when one of my songs was falsely copyright-claimed as having used a sample from another song, simply because the titles were the same.
I received some pushback when I challenged the claim as illegitimate, so I presumed it was likely made by artificial intelligence as any human reviewer would instantly hear that the song contains no such sample and doesn't sound anything like the other track.
My second frustration came when I decided to release a single around April last year. I was met with Unchained's inability to process the release in a reasonable amount of time. After long periods of silence from support, I was finally able to release the single in mid-June—many months past the initial upload.
The final nail in the coffin was when I decided to cancel my subscription. Although that process has been straightforward and support has been more responsive as of late, the payout system using Borderless has a minimum withdrawal of $15, so I wasn't even able to collect the few royalties I had accumulated while with Unchained.
In short, I don’t recommend Unchained, as they have been inconsistent and have failed to live up to professional standards of distribution.
Edit to the claim that releases are only delayed if you have failed to provide all correct information. That is a lie. Last year I provided all the proper information for my release, and before the streaming services could even be involved, Unchained failed to process and distribute the release within the time frame they claimed it would take. Only after sending support numerous emails over a long period of time, would the release go live. And all the information was easily processed by the streaming services without a problem. And I was told that my release had no problems by unchained. Trying to claim that it wasn't because of the company's lack of unprofessionalism and blaming it on the consumer, especially when that claim is false is not a good business practice.

Hi there, thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We'd like to address a few points for clarity.
Regarding the copyright flag on your release, we use industry-standard audio fingerprinting software, which is the same technology used across the distribution industry. When a release is flagged, it is then reviewed by a human member of our team. We do not use AI in our review process. A flag based on matching metadata or audio fingerprints doesn't mean we're claiming you sampled something; it means the system identified a match that requires verification, which is a responsibility we take seriously to protect our platform, our artists, and the DSPs we deliver to. This was made clear to you after the flag was raised.
As for the timeline on your single, the only scenario in which a release would be delayed for that length of time is a failure to provide the requested documentation on your end. When a release is flagged, we're required to collect supporting documentation before we can proceed as this is a standard step to protect against copyright and fraud issues across the platform. Delays in providing that documentation directly impact the release timeline.
On the $15 minimum payout threshold for major currencies, this is well below the minimums set by most distributors across the industry, and it is clearly outlined in our FAQ prior to signup.
We understand these processes can be frustrating, but they exist to maintain the integrity of the platform for all artists. We wish you the best moving forward.
Best,
Unchained Music Support

Hi Lucas,
We’re happy to clarify what happened.
Our system flagged the releases because the audio appears to have been generated using Suno, as you provided a license as such. At this time, Suno and similar AI music generation platforms are not eligible for monetization or distribution through our platform because their training datasets have not been publicly disclosed or verified as licensed.
As outlined in our Content Policy, AI-generated or AI-assisted audio can only be distributed through our system when the AI model used has published its training data and confirmed that the material used to train the model is properly licensed. This policy is in place to protect artists, distributors, DSPs, and rights holders from potential copyright claims related to AI training datasets.
Even if content generated through a platform like Suno is already available elsewhere or being played online, we cannot distribute or monetize content created with models whose training data has not been verified.

Hi Owen,
ISRC codes are required when uploading a track that has been previously released. Our support team was in contact with you, explained this clearly and outlined the appropriate next steps based on your release status.
After receiving that information, you directed abusive language toward our team. We take this seriously and do not condone or tolerate abusive or disrespectful communication toward our staff under any circumstances.
To clarify for completeness:
—If a track has never been released, it can be uploaded as a new release and an ISRC will be issued as part of the process.
—If a track has been released previously, the existing ISRC must be provided to ensure proper rights management, reporting, and continuity across DSPs.
We are always willing to assist with genuine issues and help users navigate requirements, but communication must remain respectful for support to continue.

Hi Berry,
You can view our AI Music policies at the below links:
https://www.unchainedmusic.io/legal/content-policy
https://www.unchainedmusic.io/faq-g/do-you-allow-ai-generated-music-to-be-uploaded
Additionally, all AI models that are used in any form need to to be either 1.) Clearly fairly trained by the projects disclosing training data and compensating artists for the use of their music in training or 2.) Certified by https://www.fairlytrained.org/certified-models
Unchained Music allows AI-assisted music to be uploaded, but only under specific conditions that ensure artistic integrity, proper licensing, and compliance with our distribution partners.
Your music must show clear human creative involvement, such as arrangement, editing, or performance. Fully machine-generated “press-a-button” tracks with no meaningful human input are not accepted. Additionally, the AI tools used must be ethically trained, and you must provide proof of rights and commercial use licensing for both the tool and the resulting music.
If you use AI in your creative process, be prepared to upload supporting documentation during distribution. Submissions that fail to meet our standards may be flagged, delayed, or rejected.

A rocky start turned me a long-term user
My initial experience with Unchained Music started off a bit rocky due to getting my releases denied because my track artworks needed to include text or some other elements.
I didn't like that, but I understand streaming platforms probably require this. Anyway, after an additional hiccup with getting my release getting falsely flagged as matching some other existing song (which was impossible, my music was completely original) I was asked to submit proof of ownership which I think is fair and was able to resolve the issue.
Even after encountering some of these things I decided to stick with them and give them a chance. I was able to get my Youtube OAC thanks to Unchained Music and I use them for all my releases from now on. Much better than Tunecore or DistroKid, and the fact that they're smaller/independent makes my support them more.

Hi Maryam,
We take copyright issues very seriously, and we want to clarify what happened here so future artists reading this understand the full context.
When Spotify notified us of a copyright claim on your release, we immediately reached out to you with the following message requesting a reply within 48 hours. You did not reply within the required 48-hour window, and as such, your account was terminated as we believe the copyright infringement was blatant:
(YOUR NAME),
We have been notified by Spotify about a copyright claim over your content.
Release Title: (Redacted)
Artist Name: (Redacted)
UPC: (Redacted)
If you believe this claim is incorrect and that you have all necessary rights to distribute this release, please contact the complaining party at (CLAIM EMAIL REDACTED) so they take back the claim.
You must urgently confirm holding rights for that content by sending a license, valid contract, and/or ownership certificate. All documents must be authenticated and signed.
If you fail to respond by providing the necessary documentation within 48 hours, in accordance with our Anti-Fraud Policy and Distribution Agreement we will remove the content and a strike will be applied to the user account in order to protect you, Unchained Music, and the DSPs against any further claims, legal actions and/or damages. Subsequently, your account will be put under copyright review.
If it is determined that the distribution of this/these product(s) was fraudulent (and not just a mistake or a case of expired rights), it is within our discretion to terminate the account in line with DSP's recommendations.
As noted above, we did not receive any documentation or reply from you, which is why the actions were taken.
If you believe you do have valid rights, we are happy to review, but that does require a response from you to the claim:

Hi Alia,
Thanks for sharing your feedback and for being part of Unchained Music. The reapplication process you experienced was a one-time verification during a platform-wide audit. This review was necessary due to a large influx of AI-generated and infringing content across the music ecosystem, which caused significant problems for both ourselves and other distributors. Some free accounts received mixed notifications as the system finished processing, which may have caused some confusion.
At the moment, your account is fully stable and won’t require reapplication again. The purpose of this process was to ensure the integrity of the catalog and protect legitimate artists’ royalties, not to create uncertainty. Going forward, your experience should remain consistent and uninterrupted.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out to our support team and we'll answer any additional questions that you might have.

Edit: Hi Algator Music Group. After looking more into this, we've warned you multiple times via email over successive months about artificial streaming patterns for your music, specifically on Spotify. When Spotify or another platform notifies Unchained Music of artificial streams, we will pass on that information to you in an email, including the amount of streams, artists and releases affected. Spotify and other streaming platforms do not pay for these artificial streams. If you have additional questions, please reach out to our support team.
Hi Algator Music Group,
As we mention in our FAQ below, royalties are generally paid out in the 3rd or 4th month after you distribute a release. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to our support team and they'll walk you through any additional questions you have.

We would also appreciate you reconsidering this review, as we believe we are clear regarding these payout timelines.
Best,

worst experience
worst experience. They will make your life a living hell. Avoid them. Arrogant, bullies, and scammers, NEVER will they admit they have a crappy attitude and they always make excuses. No refunds, so they keep your money.

Hi Antartis,
We've reached out via Trustpilot for a bit more information about your experience, as we do not see a user with this name in our system.
Our refund policy is clear, and is available here:

Hey Amelia,
Glad that you've had a great experience with Unchained so far, and are finding our marketing add-ons helpful, but not pushy! That's what we're aiming for.
If you need anything else, you know where to find us.
Best,
Unchained Music
