List a Podcast on Deezer and Amazon Music: 2026 Guide

Limiting yourself to the two giants means giving up touchpoints that carry real weight.

• Deezer keeps a solid base across Europe, with a loyal audio audience.
• Amazon Music benefits from the Alexa ecosystem: millions of connected speakers where "Alexa, play that podcast" becomes a reflex.
• The presence logic: a listener tunes in where they already have their music subscription. Not being there means being invisible to them.

Each platform reads the same RSS feed used by Apple or Spotify. The groundwork is already done — all that remains is submitting. For the Alexa ecosystem specifically, our article free AI podcast tools usefully rounds out the map of channels to cover.

No platform hosts you: they index your RSS feed. That feed is the single source of truth. If it's malformed, submission fails.

The essential tags

• Title, description, language of the podcast (standard iTunes tags).
• Cover image square, minimum 1400 × 1400 px, ideally 3000 × 3000 px.
• Category compliant with the Apple taxonomy, reused by Deezer and Amazon.
• Owner email for verification.
• Audio files in MP3, publicly accessible via a stable URL.

If you produce your episodes with a studio like Onde, you get clean MP3s calibrated to broadcast quality (-16 LUFS), ready to host. All that's left is generating a valid RSS feed and exposing it at a fixed URL.

Deezer goes through its dedicated creator portal.

The steps to follow

• Head to the Deezer for Creators portal and log in (or create an account).
• Choose the option to submit an existing podcast via its RSS feed.
• Paste your RSS feed URL and launch verification.
• Confirm ownership via the email tied to the feed if prompted.
• Check the preview (title, image, episodes) then validate.

Once validated, Deezer automatically syncs new episodes with every feed update. You have nothing more to do: you publish, the feed updates, Deezer follows.

Amazon Music uses a portal dedicated to podcasters, distinct from your regular shopping account.

The steps to follow

• Access the Amazon Music for Podcasters portal and log in with an Amazon account.
• Add your podcast by submitting your RSS feed URL.
• Validate ownership via the verification code sent to the feed email.
• Complete the requested details (category, broadcast countries).
• Submit for review.

Once accepted, your podcast becomes available on Amazon Music and, by extension, on Alexa speakers. That's the whole appeal: you capture hands-free listening, at home or in the kitchen, a use case Spotify covers less well.

Each platform has its own pace. Here's what to expect.

Platform	Indicative timeline	Verification
Deezer	A few hours to a few days	Feed email
Amazon Music	Usually a few days	Code by email

Common causes of rejection

• Cover image too small or not square.
• RSS feed inaccessible or password-protected.
• Missing or non-compliant category.
• Owner email absent, preventing verification.

If a rejection occurs, fix the feed and resubmit: platforms reread the same URL, so you don't have to recreate anything.

Being listed isn't enough: you still have to surface in each platform's internal search.

• Podcast title: clear, with a thematic keyword, not just a brand name.
• Description: dense and search-oriented from the first two sentences, since that's what shows in the preview.
• Episode titles: descriptive, with the topic up front rather than numbering alone.
• Consistency: algorithms favour active feeds. A steady cadence beats a spike followed by silence.

An AI studio is precisely what helps hold the cadence: generating an episode in under three minutes makes consistency sustainable. To frame your editorial line before publishing, see our guide to creating an AI podcast in 2026. And to compare plans, head to the pricing page.
