Technical Questions

New tracks are queued for fingerprinting after upload. This usually completes within minutes. If it stays pending, the download may be temporarily unavailable.
Yes. Producers receive notifications when their beats are downloaded (based on their notification preferences) and can see download statistics in their analytics.
Your email is masked on verification pages (e.g., j****[email protected]). Your full information is only visible on your own license certificate.
