Have you heard anything about a company called Landr? I recently got burned by distrokid. They took my money for the subscription but refused to use the same credit card to pay for everything else. So I remove my music off there platform completely before it was distributed. They have zero humans and customer services atrocious I wouldn't recommend them to somebody that was on their last breath.

Awesome video ❤ .. thanks for sharing ❤.. keep it up 👍💯

Let me get some more info on that but I got you as soon as I do!

Hi, what do you mean by Symphonic has "a direct connection to outlets that let you specifically distribute instrumentals"? Can you elaborate please? Also, how is Spotify being "more strict" on releasing instrumentals? How are are any distributors for that matter making it difficult to release "instrumentals", which is basically just music without vocals. I'm really confused by this point and I can't find information online about this.

@TarceaRenee

To simplify this, if you're going to distributre Instrumentals, I would suggest going through Symphonic.

I’m sorry could you please elaborate a bit more as to why instrumental music is an issue on some of the platforms. I was planning to release my instrumental music with either Ditto or CDbaby, and just came across your video

Im super keen on signing up just scared cause there isnt anything in trust pilot or reviews in general expect for your videos Ive been searching for the past year on which distro to use Distro kid removes peoples songs Symphonic is great but also has some bad reviews I was very close to going to amuse feel like i dodged a bullet When it comes to money i make sure im getting the best So why illustrate? Btw i almost signed up yesterday But i dont wanna get scammed Or not get my royalties

I think the comparison really answers a lot of the questions you may have. No distribution company is going to be perfect no matter which one you choose. It just doesn't exist because of technical issues or user-errors sometimes and rights issues with music as well can occur sometimes. It seems like you've come across a lot and didn't try it out. The most I can say in this case is to try the one that seems to have the least amount of risk to you.

Yoooo! Lone, I've got a bit more info from Symphonic. I believe there's a $95 fee for video distribution. Here's a snippet from their guidelines: "You can only have a music video processed if you have paid the fee of $95 and/or, the additional fee for distribution to the “PLUS” partners." Here's a link to the actual guidelines: symphonic.com/music-video-checklist/

How many artists can you have on a symphonic account?
