Distribute Your Music to Napster (Rhapsody)

Napster receives new tracks through approved digital distributors who provide high quality audio, artwork, and complete metadata. Once processed, releases appear in Napster’s global streaming catalog and are accessible across its mobile, desktop, and smart device apps.

Napster expects clean masters, properly formatted metadata, accurate release dates, and genre classifications. Distributors ensure each submission meets these requirements so tracks appear correctly in Napster’s library and playlist system.

Napster uses editorial playlists, algorithmic recommendations, and user curated collections to highlight new releases. Tracks with strong engagement like such as saves, repeats, or playlist placements, often gain more visibility within the platform.

Napster does not provide a standalone artist analytics dashboard, but streaming data, listener trends, and royalty reports are typically available through the distributor responsible for delivering the music.

Napster pays royalties to distributors based on listener activity, subscription models, and regional performance. Artists then receive earnings through their distributor according to Napster’s monthly or quarterly reporting cycles.
