Cover art with white frames/ borders

[nani-kun]

My Question or Issue

Is it true that cover art with white frames/borders are not allowed on editorial playlists?

Hello @nani-kun 

Thanks for reaching out.

I've actually never addressed such a question so I had to test it out first.

(Hope you don't mind me stealing;they were beautiful pics btw,peak aesthetic 😂❤️)

So no,I don't think there's such a rule.

Happy listening 🎧🖤

Hi @Taylith thanks for answering.
Yes I think so too, I mean if I don't break the rules there will be no problem. Because I think the curator will choose the song based on the mood and vibe of the sound, not the visual.
The problem is I have a release with a label and I sent the cover art with white frames in it, but they zoomed in the pics. So I ask them to change it, but they say they could change it but I won't have a chance to get featured on editorial playlists because cover art with white frames isn't allowed. And I think it's just not make any sense, cause I listened to an editorial playlists and there's a lot of songs with cover art that have white frames on them.
(Go ahead buddy it's just pics from free stock photo website 🙂 )
