TuneCore issue when using royalty-free samples!

Hi everyone, (this topic is most relevant for those who makes electronic music - I guess)

The issue / warning to others:

I release my music through TuneCore, which is a large music distribution located in New York. My music genre is EDM (House, Dance ..), and I use some samples I buy on Loopmasters (drumloops, synths-hit, fx's, and some vocals) - and these should be 100% royalty-free to use in any music!? (But, they are not!)

However, I recently uploaded my new album with 15 tracks to my TuneCore account / profile - for release on all major streaming services. In 1-2 days my tracks got flagged by (an AI?), because the system TuneCore use, when artists upload a song, is hearing this as a "remix" / another song (not mine ..). This is crazy - and it means I can't use any royalty-free sample I buy at Loopmasters and others.

I have searched the internet for others artists having this issue with TuneCore - and I not alone in the dark!

UPDATE: After many mail correspondences with TuneCore support, they have decided: There's nothing wrong with any of my 15 tracks on upcoming album 21/09/2024. I did have Loopmasters (a specific supporter) as CC on the last mail - and after that - TuneCore changed their mind ... :-)
