In order to avoid possible errors concerning profile assignment, we recommend all end-users to fill the credentials found in their artist profiles, for your SoundCloud profile, Apple Artist ID, and the Spotify artist ID, in the Catalog>Artists tab.
Important: this functionality only works with existing profiles, it is not necessary when the end-users need to create a new Artist ID.
How to add the SoundCloud profile?
You can link your SoundCloud profile to the platform by only copying your profile URL:
https://soundcloud.com/artist
How to get the Apple Artist ID?
You can get the Apple Artist ID from the link to your profile. It corresponds to the numbers that follow the artist's name, at the end of the link:
https://music.apple.com/en/artist/artist/1467880022
How to obtain a Spotify Artist ID?
Here you can find how to get an existing Spotify Artist ID:
