No, you cannot upload the same song to both non-exclusive and exclusive libraries at the same time. You must choose one or the other, as each type of library has different rights requirements.
Non-Exclusive Libraries
When you upload a song to a non-exclusive library, you keep the rights to your track. This allows you to upload it to other non-exclusive libraries or platforms. Non-exclusive libraries provide more flexibility but may offer fewer high-profile placements.
Exclusive Libraries
Uploading a song to an exclusive library means you grant that library exclusive rights to the track. Once accepted, the song cannot be distributed elsewhere. Exclusive libraries often offer bigger opportunities and higher-profile placements but require exclusivity.
Why Can’t I Upload to Both?
Non-exclusive and exclusive libraries have different rights needs. Exclusive libraries need to ensure they have full control over the track to avoid conflicts when licensing it. Uploading the same song to both types would create legal complications.
How to Choose?
- If you prefer flexibility and want to distribute the song on multiple platforms, choose non-exclusive.
- If you are looking for bigger opportunities and are willing to commit the song to one library, choose exclusive.
Once you decide, make sure to stick with one type of library for the song, as you cannot submit it to both.
