The Apple Digital Masters badge, previously called the ‘Mastered for iTunes’ badge, is a quality approval seal from Apple that indicates your music meets specific guidelines. The mastering must have been completed by an Apple-certified mastering engineer to receive the badge.
If this is the case for your release, you will need to provide us with your registered Apple Mastering Engineer's email address. Apple will then check this to see if it’s legit.
Once confirmed the Apple Digital Masters badge will be added to your release.
