Migration Process and Expected Timeline

Catalog Migration Process

The following outlines the process for migrating and redistributing a catalog through Calientalo Media:

Importing Catalog into Calientalo Media

• Catalog ingestion into Calientalo Media must be complete and valid. Potential issues include:

- Incomplete publishing metadata.

- Older asset files not meeting current DSP requirements (e.g., artwork must be at least 1400×1400, but 3000×3000 is highly recommended).

- Missing Spotify and Apple Artist IDs (crucial for successful track-linking)

- Lack of communication regarding:

- Territorial restrictions.

- DSP restrictions.

- Non-default pricing for download DSPs.

Catalog Distribution and Monitoring

• Calientalo Media distributes the catalog in batches to stores.
• Calientalo Media monitors the delivery process but does not perform QA once assets are live (this is the client’s responsibility).
• Calientalo Media notifies the customer when it is safe to issue takedowns from their previous distributor(s).
• The client issues takedowns from their previous distributor(s).
• Note: Calientalo Media does not monitor the status of takedowns; this is the client’s responsibility.

Expected Timelines

• Redistributing using Calientalo Media’s DSP deals depends on the size of the catalog.
• Always allow a minimum of 7 days to ensure track linking after delivery.
