I was NOT given a chance to disbute their clames, so my music is not on Facebook. Any Thoughts or Helpful suggestions on how I can rectify this???
A few things:

Never post directly to Facebook—if your music is not on their pre approved list, they can take you down for no apparent reason. Trying to rectify a takedown is damned near impossible and very expensive. I post on YouTube and other sites and link to FB instead—FB leaves these alone since pointers do not expose them to Copyright issues—never had a takedown. YouTube takedown notices are much easier to deal with, especially when it involves Russian and Brazilian piracy troll/bots.

TuneCore is a Russian company. Among other things, they operate piracy troll/bots. These often get in the way of the business of TuneCore customers.

TuneCore has an office in New York. The contact info is on their web site.

I charge 1/3 the going rate of a music attorney to deal with such issues and part of my service is to know when an attorney is the better call. Telling you that posting directly to FaceBook is a bad idea… That’s free.
