How can I have my CD or DVD added to the STAPCO database? As a membership club,
STAPCO will add any product submissions we receive from members to the database as long
as they are commercially available in their country of release. Please contact us via
electronic mail:
Submissions@stapco.com
What happens once STAPCO receives my product? Your CD or DVD will go through a
data entry and scanning process in which everything from credits to track and chapter
listings to cover art will be entered into the database. STAPCO may also assign descriptors
such as genres, styles, and moods to the title. Your product will then be returned to you, the member.
How long will it take for my product to appear on the STAPCO web site? Your product
should appear on our web site within 4-6 weeks after we receive your materials.
Will STAPCO review or synopsize my product, or write a biography? We try to review
and synopsize as many CDs, films, and DVDs as possible, but we can’t make any promises about
which titles and performers will receive this level of coverage. Resource constraints make
it necessary for us to prioritize coverage based on factors such as current popularity, historical
or artistic importance, and the needs of our data licensees.
If I send you a biography or a write-up on a product, will you add it to your database? Our
editorial policy is that all reviews, synopses, and biographies must written by STAPCO and members,
so we cannot use copy supplied by non-members.
Who can I contact regarding the status of my submission? You may inquire about the status
of your product submission via email (Product_Submissions@stapco.com),
but we cannot guarantee a personal response. Phone inquiries are not accepted. We are also unable to
grant requests that your title be moved up in priority or entered into the database within a specific
time frame, but rest assured that all commercially available titles submitted will be entered on a
first-come, first-served basis.
