If your release contains multiple tracks by 4 or more artists, this is classed as a Various Artists release. To set this up, go to Release Management ➜ New Release in the top menu and follow these steps:
-
Search for Various Artists: Choose 'Select a Display Artist' and search for 'Various Artists' in the Display Artist field, then click on its search result. You can then set the Release Name, the Record Label, and the Release Type ('EP' or 'Album'). Once complete, click the 'Next' button to continue.
- Add your tracks: On the Release Details screen, you can now create your tracks and specify the artist(s) responsible for each of them ('Various Artists' must NOT be credited as a track-level artist).
