Genres

1. The selected genres must accurately represent the music. The primary genre and secondary genre cannot be the same.

2. Classical restrictions: Do not deliver content under Classical or a classical subgenre, such as Classical/Orchestral, Classical/Opera, or Classical/Piano, unless it is an original or contemporary classical work.

For complete classical metadata requirements, see the Apple Music Style Guide.

3. Karaoke: When a release or track is karaoke or a backing track, select Karaoke as the primary genre. The secondary genre should reflect the musical style of the underlying song.
