Content Onboarding

The simplest way to onboard content. Use the Sureel web app to create a release, upload your media files, and fill in metadata through a guided form.

Steps

1. Navigate to Releases → Create New Release
2. Enter your release metadata (title, artists, release date, etc.)
3. Upload audio files (MP3 or WAV), cover art, and optional lyrics
4. Set your rights declarations and AI training preferences
5. Review and submit your release for processing

For programmatic access to content onboarding. Use the Sureel REST API to automate uploads, manage metadata, and handle large catalogs at scale.

If you already use OpenPlay for your catalog management, Sureel offers a fully managed integration. Your existing catalog flows directly into the Sureel Registry with no additional work.

Steps

1. Contact Sureel to set up your OpenPlay integration (info@sureel.ai)
2. Select which OpenPlay content you want to register with Sureel
3. Generate OpenPlay API keys to grant Sureel access to your catalog
4. Your catalog is automatically synced to the Sureel Registry
5. Ongoing updates are handled automatically, with no manual uploads needed

Download a CSV or JSON template, populate it with your metadata, and upload it along with your media files. Ideal for catalogs where you have metadata in spreadsheets.

Steps

1. Download the CSV or JSON template
2. Populate the template with your catalog metadata (one row/object per track)
3. Prepare your media files in a folder with filenames matching the template
4. Send the completed template and media files to Sureel (info@sureel.ai)
5. Sureel processes and ingests your catalog into the registry

For organizations using the DDEX standard for digital supply chain metadata. Upload a ZIP archive containing DDEX-compliant XML metadata alongside your media files.

Steps

1. Prepare your DDEX-compliant XML metadata files following the ERN (Electronic Release Notification) standard
2. Package your XML metadata and media files into a ZIP archive
3. Ensure file references in the XML match the actual filenames in the archive
4. Send the ZIP archive to Sureel (info@sureel.ai)
5. Sureel validates and ingests your DDEX submission into the registry
