What is UXEM and how does it work?

UXEM is infrastructure for the music industry that connects your music with platforms, data, rights, royalties, and the operations required to manage a career or catalog more simply.

Our goal is to reduce operational complexity so artists, labels, and teams can focus on growing their music.

What can you do with UXEM?

UXEM allows you to manage different parts of your music operation in one place, including:

  • Create and manage releases.
  • Distribute music to digital platforms.
  • Manage metadata, identifiers, and files.
  • Track the status of your releases.
  • Organize and maintain your catalog.
  • Review performance data.
  • View royalties, balances, and payments.
  • Manage artists, labels, and team members.
  • Manage information related to rights and ownership.

Available features may vary depending on your account, territory, or relationship with UXEM.

How UXEM works

The process may vary depending on what you need to do, but it generally follows these stages:

1. You prepare your music

You create a release and provide the required information, such as:

  • audio;
  • artwork;
  • artists and collaborators;
  • titles;
  • dates;
  • territories;
  • metadata;
  • identifiers, when applicable.

UXEM organizes this information so it can be processed correctly.

2. UXEM reviews the information

Before a release is delivered, UXEM may verify that the information and files meet the necessary requirements.

If we find something that needs to be updated, we will let you know what needs to be corrected.

3. Your music is delivered to platforms

Once the release is ready, UXEM sends the information and files to the selected platforms.

Each platform processes deliveries independently, so publication times may vary.

4. You can track your release status

From UXEM, you can follow the progress of your releases and see whether they are, for example:

  • being prepared;
  • under review;
  • delivered;
  • published;
  • or require changes.

The exact status names may vary depending on the process.

5. UXEM receives and organizes information from platforms

After publication, platforms may send information related to performance, usage, and revenue.

UXEM processes this information so it can be presented more clearly and usefully within your account.

6. You manage your catalog over time

Publishing a release is not the end of the process.

With UXEM, you can also manage updates, review information, check royalties, keep your catalog organized, and perform other actions related to your music.

What does UXEM do, and what do platforms do?

UXEM acts as the infrastructure connecting your catalog with different services and processes across the music industry.

Platforms — such as streaming services and other digital stores or services — operate their own systems and have their own timelines, requirements, and policies.

Because of this, some actions initiated through UXEM may also depend on each platform's processing.

Do I need technical knowledge to use UXEM?

No.

UXEM is designed to help you manage complex music-industry processes without requiring you to understand every technical system behind them.

When a decision requires specific information, we aim to show you only what you need to move forward with clarity.

What do you need to get started?

In general, you will need:

  • a UXEM account;
  • accurate artist or label information;
  • the corresponding audio files;
  • release artwork;
  • music metadata;
  • and the necessary rights to distribute the content.

Depending on the release or the features you use, we may request additional information.

In summary

UXEM connects the creative side of your music with the infrastructure required to operate it.

You prepare and manage your music through UXEM. We organize the processes required to help that information reach platforms correctly, remain structured, and become easier to manage over time.
