New to releasing? These four answers cover what a distributor actually does before you pick one.
A distributor delivers your audio, artwork and metadata to the streaming platforms and stores, keeps your catalog live, collects the royalties those platforms pay, and passes them to you. Stores work with distributors, not with thousands of individual uploaders.
Yes. Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon and the other major platforms do not take uploads directly from artists, so every release you hear on them came through a distributor. That is the doorway this page is about.
How Spotify delivery worksHere, a flat plan fee with unlimited releases and no commission. The market runs from per-release fees to commission deals where the distributor keeps a share of your royalties forever. Always price a deal at your ambitions, not your first release.
See plans and pricingYour release is processed for delivery in 1 business day, and platforms then ingest on their own schedules. Set your release date three to four weeks out and everything goes live together.
The things artists usually ask before their first upload. If yours isn't here, talk to us.
We process your release for delivery in 1 business day. After that, platforms process releases at their own speeds. We strongly suggest setting a release date 3–4 weeks out so everything goes live around the same time. With under two weeks' notice, simultaneous go-live can't be guaranteed.
Use your own UPC and ISRC. If you don't have one, talk to us about your options.
Assign each collaborator a percentage of a release's royalties and earnings divide automatically as they come in. You keep 100% of your share and withdraw whenever you want.

Yes. Once a release is live (or if it fails QC), use "edit release" in your dashboard to update it. We don't allow changes between upload and distribution while it's being processed.
