How to check your music is live on every streaming platform
Your distributor's dashboard tells you a release was delivered. It doesn't tell you it's still live on every store today. Releases drop off one platform at a time, for reasons you may never get an email about, so the only way to know is to check.

Short answer
Make a list of your releases with their UPCs and ISRCs, then search each one on every platform you deliver to, or open your artist page on each platform and compare. Your distributor's dashboard shows what was delivered, not what's live now. A free scan can check your releases on 12 platforms at once and show what's missing.
What to do, in order
List your releases
Write down every release with its title, UPC and the ISRC of each track. Your distributor's dashboard has them.
Search each platform
Search your artist name and each release title on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Deezer, TIDAL, SoundCloud and Pandora. Use an incognito window so you see what a new listener sees.
Check your artist tools
Spotify for Artists, Apple Music for Artists and Amazon Music for Artists list what's on your profile. Compare their counts with your list.
Look for the wrong things too
Check for releases you didn't make on your profile, and for changed titles or artwork.
Run a free scan
If you have more than a few releases, a scan is faster. Traxure's free scan checks your releases on 12 platforms and shows how many are missing.
Delivered isn't the same as live
A distributor marks a release as delivered when it sends it to a store. After that, the store can delay it, remove it, merge it with another release or put it on the wrong profile, and the dashboard often still says delivered.
That's why the only reliable check is to look at each store itself.
Where to look on each platform
Each platform has its own artist tool, and each shows your catalog a little differently.
| Platform | Where to look | What missing looks like |
|---|---|---|
| Spotify | Spotify for Artists, Music tab | Release gone from your profile, or greyed out from an old link |
| Apple Music | Apple Music for Artists | Release gone from your artist page, or showing only on another page |
| Amazon Music | Amazon Music for Artists | Release gone from search and your artist page |
| YouTube Music | Your Official Artist Channel | Album or single gone from the channel's Music tab |
| Deezer | Deezer for Creators | Release gone from your artist page |
| TIDAL | TIDAL for Artists | Release gone from your artist page |
| SoundCloud | Your SoundCloud profile | Track gone or set to private |
| Pandora | Pandora AMP | Release gone from your artist page |
How often to check
Check the week a release comes out, after you change anything about it, and after you switch distributors or your subscription renews. Between those, once a month catches most problems, though a song can be gone for weeks before a monthly check finds it.
Checking all 12 platforms at once
Traxure's free scan finds your Spotify profile and checks your releases on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Deezer, TIDAL, SoundCloud, Pandora, Audiomack, iHeartRadio, Qobuz and Shazam. You see the count for free, and the full report is $10.
If you'd rather not check by hand again, Traxure monitoring runs a full check every 24 hours and emails you when a release goes missing, its details change, or a track you didn't release shows up on your profile. It starts with a seven-day free trial.
Questions artists ask
How do I check if my music is on all streaming platforms?
Search each release on every platform you deliver to, or compare your artist pages with your list of releases. A free scan can check 12 platforms at once.
Does my distributor tell me if a release goes missing?
Not always. The dashboard shows what was delivered, and a store can remove or move a release after that without the dashboard changing.
Why is my song on Spotify but not on Apple Music?
Each store handles deliveries separately. It may be delayed, rejected, removed or on another artist page there. Ask your distributor for that store's status.
What's the fastest way to check a big catalog?
Use a scan instead of searching by hand. Traxure's free scan checks your releases on 12 platforms and shows how many are missing.
How often should I check my catalog?
When a release comes out, after any change or distributor switch, and about once a month otherwise. Monitoring checks every day for you.
