WHAT IS THE DEFINITION OF A MUSIC VIDEO?
A music video is a video shot around a song or piece of music. It can be recorded at a live event (a “concert music video”), it can have non-musical elements (such as a brief “intro” or “extro”), it can have spoken parts, so long as they are not the focus of the piece. Most every music video on a cable music channel qualifies. However, for example, a documentary or film that happens to have songs in it will be rejected by iTunes, even if it’s a “making of” a music video or a song. IMPORTANT: iTunes reserves the right to accept or reject any content, audio, video or music video. Please be sure to follow all specifications and restrictions precisely.
