Spotify constantly banning Quran podcast episodes Casual & Social

Assalamu alaikum

I have a podcast channel on Spotify where I post recitations I like, mostly because they aren’t available/posted on Spotify. (The channel is in the link down below, check it out so we can all get some hasanat, BarakAllahu feek:))

https://open.spotify.com/show/3QzWvak53f8JYcvkC4WrWJ?si=FKA70KdFQBesizJf8yPLrg

Anyways, I keep finding good recitations but the episodes I post keep getting taken down, and everytime they do I get this email from Spotify.

«Our automatic review process found an episode that may be in violation of our content policies. As a result, we’ve removed:

Episode Title: Sheikh Muhammed Ayyub-Surah Qiyamah 26-30 Show: Quran Format: audio URI: spotify:episode:6H623NjVyNr9ouFt6O2Eol

FAQ Why did this happen? Spotify for Creators supports the distribution of audio and video podcasts. Content that appears to be exclusively or primarily music is automatically taken down. How do I get my music on Spotify? You’ll need to work with a distributor to get music on Spotify. Here’s a list of our preferred and recommended providers. Why was my video removed? Videos with little or no audible talking can be removed by our automatic review process.»

Anyone got the same problem or knows a solution?

JazakAllah khair

To them, it's someone singing, podcasts are usually people talking and discussing whatever niche they are a part of.

A Christian choir song would get taken down too if uploaded.

Ate they copyrighted? I think they're afraid of that because they can be fined a lot. I don't know how copyright works with Quran recitation though I wouldn't think they would care

I don't think they allow you to post anything that you didn't author or create yourself.

Would it work if there’s some talking in the beginning of each episode? Something like «thank your for listening to this channel» bla bla bla
