We have to be sure that RouteNote releases don’t contain metadata that may mislead listeners.

When release metadata contains words or phrases that match to high profile musical artists, songs, or albums, this can cause confusion and mislead consumers.

Let’s say someone has written a song called “Rapping About Cardi B’s Track, WAP”. It’s absolutely fine to have Cardi B as the topic of your song, it’s okay to reference and talk about her… But because the track/album title contains “Cardi B” and “WAP”, stores may assume that those terms have been deliberately included so that when customers search for “Cardi B WAP”, your track is more likely to come up.

Unfortunately, whether this was done deliberately or not, it isn’t something stores take into consideration. For this reason, avoid mentioning any famous musicians, their track titles, or their albums, in any of your metadata.
