Yes. Traditional, AI-assisted, and fully AI tracks are accepted. You declare what is human and what is AI-assisted on upload.

Stores need to know how much of the recording is AI generated. Honest disclosure helps the release clear review the first time.

Voice cloning of an existing artist and inaccurate disclosure are not allowed. See the Rights Attestation.

Full AI tracks are allowed. We still distribute even when a store will not pay. We still send the release.

AI-assisted is treated as a human work with AI help. We distribute. Monetize follows each store’s normal rules plus their spam/impersonation rules. Not the same as Fully AI.

No AI follows normal store pay rules.

Publishing is composition money collected by societies, not stores. It is separate from store streams. Register after your first release is live. Every artist can register. See How you get paid.

We generate the split sheet. Everyone signs before delivery. Writer 1 signs in the page. Co-writers get an email.

No. Only the person submitting pays the release fees. There is no admin fee on the split sheet.

Publishing registration is separate from distribution. Every artist can register. If a fee applies, it is shown before you pay. See How you get paid.

PLAIGROUND takes no commission. Artists keep 100% of their royalties. The account is free. Optional tools and finished products are pay as you go, and the price is shown before you pay. See How you get paid.

Money shows as $0 until a release is actually live and stores report. Payouts only after real royalties arrive. Payouts are quarterly, with a $10 minimum. Every artist can see totals and withdraw. See How you get paid.

Boosts are marketing campaigns, not a membership plan. Chart Push, Streaming Push, Social Push, and Video Collect live on the Boosts page. Every artist can open that page. Packages are not for sale yet.

MSP means Multiple Streams of Revenue. After a song is published and live, MSP is extra ways that song can earn: publishing plus distribution streams, and later marketing. The MSP section is only for published, live songs.

Take a song down from the release page with Remove. A live store release asks stores to take it down and stays listed until they confirm. Draft, pending, and processing releases are removed from PLAIGROUND after you confirm. There is no monthly plan to cancel. Management plans are Coming soon / join waitlist and are not billed yet.

Same family: Instagram/Facebook (Meta Rights Manager) and TikTok native-video ID. Separate from YouTube Music, Instagram stickers, and TikTok Sounds.
