"The artist, however faithful to [their] personal vision of reality, becomes the last champion of the individual mind and sensibility against an intrusive society and an officious state."

Dear Galel,
In preparing your submission for distribution, we noticed an issue that requires your action.
Please see this message from our inspection team below.
-Track titles cannot be overly generic (e.g. “Track 1,” “Beat 2,” “Instrumental,” etc.) because this makes it difficult for listeners to identify your tracks in their music library. Also, track titles cannot be or include a recognizable artist name. Please adjust your track titles and resubmit.
-If there are 4 or more primary artists on your submission, even if each only appears on one track, this is a compilation album. At the album level, the artist name must be “Various Artists”. Each track should then list only the primary and/or featured artists that appear on that track. Please note, the same artist cannot be a primary on some tracks and featured on others. To address, please log into your artist account, click the “View/Edit” button to the right of your submission, and click on the “Artist Name” at the top of the Title Overview page. Choose “Yes” to the first question, “Compilation Album?”, and save your changes.
*** PLEASE NOTE: We see what you're doing. While you may consider it to be "clever", we still cannot distribute your music with generic titles. THE MUSIC PLATFORMS WILL NOT ACCEPT THESE. Copying/pasting our own instructions/guidelines will not make this any better. *** YOUR ACTION IS REQUIRED: Failure to make the necessary changes will result with your submission being placed in a "HOLD" status *** IF YOU INSIST on releasing titles like this, you may wish to simply reach out to our Artist Services team to request a refund ***
There is no need to reply to this email if you’ve made the changes.
Thank you,
The CD Baby Digital Inspection Team
