This article explains how to update the tracklist of a product that has already been approved in the FUGA Interface. Once a product is approved and assigned a Universal Product Code (UPC), its tracklist becomes fixed. To make updates—including changing track order, International Standard Recording Codes (ISRCs), or volume details—you must create and deliver a new product using the Duplicate function.
Overview
Once a product has been approved in the FUGA Interface, it is assigned a unique Universal Product Code (UPC). This UPC is associated with the specific tracklist and structure of that product. After approval, you can no longer perform the following actions on the original product:
- Add, remove, or reorder assets (tracks)
- Change International Standard Recording Codes (ISRCs)
- Adjust volume numbers or how assets are distributed across volumes
- Modify the UPC
To make any of these updates, a new product must be created and assigned a new UPC.
Step-by-step Instructions
1. Duplicate the original product
To preserve all metadata and existing assets:
- Navigate to the original Product page.
- Click the three-dot menu in the top-right corner.
- Select Duplicate from the dropdown options.
- You will be redirected to the new product. The FUGA Interface automatically appends "(Copy)" to the product title.
- Be sure to remove "(Copy)" from the product title before continuing.
2. Assign new identifiers
In the new duplicated product:
- Assign a new UPC.
- Assign a new catalog number.
3. Update the tracklist
Use the following options to revise the product tracklist:
- Click UPLOAD NEW to add new assets.
- Click ADD EXISTING to include existing assets from your catalog.
Note: Do not change ISRCs at this stage unless necessary.
4. Approve and deliver
Once the tracklist and metadata are finalized:
- Approve the new product.
- Deliver the new product to all relevant Digital Service Providers (DSPs).
5. Remove the original product
After confirming the new product is live on DSPs and that streaming data has matched successfully:
- Initiate a takedown of the original product.
Note: Stream-matching only occurs for tracks that use the same ISRCs as the original product.
Troubleshooting
- Streams not matching after redelivery: Ensure the ISRCs of the tracks in the new product are identical to those in the original product.
- Unable to approve duplicate product: Double-check that all required fields (such as UPC, catalog number, and territory rights) are completed.
Related Notes
- You cannot redeliver an approved product with a modified tracklist; a new product must be created.
- Products with incorrect ISRCs should be handled using the appropriate metadata correction process.
- Redelivered products may take time to replace older versions on certain DSPs.
