Short answer: no — this is completely normal.
When your track is accepted by a library through That Pitch, it doesn’t always appear in a public catalog right away — and in many cases, it may not appear publicly at all.
Here’s what to know:
Acceptance comes first, publishing comes later
When a library accepts your track, it means:
They’ve approved it for representation
They’ve cleared it for their catalog
It’s in their queue for making available for licensing opportunities
Publishing to their public-facing platform is simply the next step in their process.
Timing varies by library
Every library has its own process for uploading and organizing music. Some may publish tracks quickly, while others update their catalogs in batches or on longer timelines.
This can depend on:
Internal workflows
Release schedules
Catalog management systems
Many libraries don’t have public catalogs
In fact, a large number of production music libraries operate entirely behind the scenes.
Some libraries:
Work through private client portals
Provide API access to partners
Offer B2B catalogs only
Build custom playlists internally for clients
Pitch music directly without public listings
This means your track may still be actively pitched and licensed even if you never see it on a public page.
We don’t control their timelines
Once your track is delivered and accepted, how and when it appears in a library’s system is entirely up to them. This is standard across the sync industry.
What matters most
If your track has been accepted:
It’s in their system
It’s available for opportunities
It can be licensed at any time
Public visibility does not impact your chances of placement.
Simple version: acceptance is the milestone that matters. Publishing delays — or no public listing at all — are completely normal in the library world.
