Yip, unfortunately there are some rules - not invented by EAR - but by the musical platforms:
Max playtime = 15 minutes. If you have a track that is longer it will be released on our Soundcloud page only. --> We are testing the max lengt all the time and update the duration as soon as we know it is safe (we try to push the border - musical platforms are not used to long ambient tracks - so we write loads of emails to several services).
It is not allowed to have a 5 seconds silence at the start and/or end of a track (pay attention to a fade in/out and check if there is sound/music around 4 seconds after the start or 4 seconds before the end (with sound/music we aiming of a fragment that can be heard without putting the volume above average).
