The platform

What is Apple Music

Apple Music is Apple's subscription streaming service, known for a premium, ad-free experience, lossless audio and Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos. It reaches a high-value global audience across iPhone, Mac and the wider Apple ecosystem, making it a core destination for any serious catalog.

How it works

How limbo/ delivers
to Apple Music

You deliver once to limbo/, by API or dashboard, and limbo/ runs the full Apple Music supply chain. Metadata is validated before anything ships.

1
Direct contract

limbo/ delivers to Apple Music on its own agreement, not through another aggregator. Fewer hops, faster fixes, and your royalty data never leaves limbo/.

2
DDEX-native pipeline

ERN 4.3 and 3.8.2, selected per platform. Metadata is validated before queueing, so broken submissions fail fast with line-level reasons instead of silent rejections.

3
High quality

Direct contract with DDEX-native delivery, clean metadata, per-territory controls and scheduled releases, so your catalog lands correctly across the Apple Music ecosystem.
