Potential issues with duplicate UGC delivery?

I have distributed my songs through DistroKid, including UGC delivery to YouTube, TikTok, Meta, etc., but without the Social Media Pack.

I've now added Symphonic only for Content ID/UGC monetization, which means the tracks are once again delivered to those platforms, creating duplicates.

Could these duplicate deliveries cause any problems if only Symphonic is handling the UGC claims?

The only downside I've noticed so far is that it looks messy, but DistroKid doesn't let me remove the UGC deliveries without reuploading the releases.

Track linking on Apple Music, YouTube Music and other platforms?

Hi,

I recently reuploaded my whole catalog and Spotify successfully relinked everything after a few weeks. Streams came back, tracks reappeared in playlists, and everything seems connected again.

That made me curious how track linking works on other platforms like Apple Music, iTunes, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, etc.

Do these platforms also reconnect the old and new uploads over time if the ISRC and metadata stay the same, or do they mostly treat it as a completely new release?
