Frequently Asked Questions
Can I restore my release after requesting a takedown?
In many cases, you'll need to submit your release again as a new distribution. Contact PlayGeet Support before requesting a takedown if you're unsure.
Will my streams disappear after a takedown?
Once your release is removed from streaming platforms, it will no longer receive new streams. Historical stream data may still be visible on some services.
Can I remove my music from only one platform?

Does a takedown delete my royalties?
