If a song is missing from Diskograf, you can submit it to the catalogue. New songs are reviewed before they appear publicly, so include the most reliable information you have and check for duplicates first.

​
Choose a song-entry path

After you open Add a song, choose the path that fits how you want to work. Both paths create the same song entry, collect the same information, autosave your in-progress draft, and send the submission for review.
The classic form opens the complete editor on one page. Use it when you already know the song details or want to move between sections in any order. Section navigation helps you jump between the YouTube video, title, credits, artwork, release date, genres, labels, streaming links, lyrics, notes, and duration.
You can switch between the Classic form and Step-by-step wizard while you work. Your in-progress draft carries over, so you do not need to start again.

Check if the song already exists

Search for the song using its title and artist name. Try alternate spellings and romanisations when the title uses non-Latin script. If Diskograf finds similar titles while you are submitting, review them before adding a new entry.

Open Add a song

Open Add a song from the site header or search menu, then choose Classic form or Step-by-step wizard. Both paths create the same type of submission and send it for review when you submit it.

Complete the song details

Add as much of the following information as you can:
  • YouTube video — the video linked to the song
  • Song title — the title as it appears on the release
  • Lead performer — the primary recording artist
  • Artwork — the cover image or other song artwork
  • Release date — when the song was released
  • Genres — the genres that describe the song
  • Record label — the label associated with the release
  • Streaming links — Spotify or Apple Music links, when available
  • Lyrics, notes, and duration — supporting information for the song
The editor saves your progress as a draft while you work. You can return to complete optional fields later.

Add credits

Use the credits section to document the full creative team. Select the role first, then search for the artist and add the credit. See Credits for the complete role list and editing workflow.Artists who already appear in the catalogue are suggested first. If the person is not listed, you can create an artist record from the editor.

Review and submit

Check the possible-duplicate suggestions, review the live preview, and agree to the music-information truthfulness pledge. Submit the song when the details are ready.The new song is Under Review until it is published. You are sent to the review area on your profile, where you can open and edit your pending submission.

​
After review

Once the song is published, it appears in the public catalogue and on the credited artists’ works. You can suggest later corrections from the song page with Suggest an edit. Your changes are attributed to your account and recorded in the song’s activity.
For songs with Arabic script, Jawi, or other non-Latin titles, Diskograf uses a stable URL slug so the page can be shared reliably.
You do not need every optional field before submitting. Add the core information you can verify, then return to complete the record when you find more reliable sources.
