How come nobody is mentioning that distrokid actually pays on a quarterly basis, they say it’s monthly but if Spotify takes 2-3 month and distrokid pays monthly that means you won’t receive those sales for another 3-4 months later

Loads of videos of people complaining about late payments

Helpful, keep up the good work🫂❤️

I found your video very informative, and really gave me ideas as to which direction to consider in getting my music distributed, played on multiple platforms, and collecting royalties. Thank you!

I am new to releasing my music. Thanks for sharing this! I have 2 piano solo singles I released on CD Baby and just released a piano/flute album released through Distrokid. I want to release my next album and include the 2 songs already released through CD baby. I am not in it for the money but I don't like that CD baby takes so much compared to others. Should I switch my released singles over to Distrokid if I am including them in my next album? Or how does this work? Any suggestions.

I am currently recording cover songs. I can't find a very good answer to the question: What is the most economical way to release an album of cover songs? I understand that mechanical licensing is necessary, but I don't know about these pre-paid fees for digital downloads. Is one service better than another? thanks!!!

Yeah. I got a few cover on there. Got to pay a few bucks/year per song. Starts to hurt big if you don't sell a ton of them. There is a thing called "we are the hits" which covers KZread vid copyrights. Maybe you could connect that to your website for some sales? ?

Is there any ways to be on KZread Music/Google Play without having a KZread Topic channel?

As soon as you release a single track through any of these platforms, it is assigned a upc and isrc code and a topic channel will be automatically generated. Furthermore you can then claim it and become an authorised official channel so all further releases resulted to your artist page will be added to both your page and the topic page. At least that is how it works both with CD Baby and Distro Kid, I cannot speak for the others as I do not know.

@@Ecstasio unfortunately I use TuneCore and they don't offer the official artist channel anymore, it's "under improvement" and it's been for months... I don't see it's coming back anytime soon... Such a nightmare, any alternatives?

@@Ecstasio you are correct but normally you have to have a certain number of releases distributed through a KZread music partner that can be found in KZread Services Directory for Music Partners

Which is the best in your opinion? I'm new to all of this and want to make a choice.

I like both Distrokid and CD Baby personally. The difference is do you want a subscription service or would you rather pay per release? Gotta see which option works best for you

@amirkhostavan I'm about to release an album and I will be putting out a lot more music, so I assume subscription service would make more sense. Thanks for the reply, man. 👊🏼

I used to love Distro but I will no longer distribute with them. As of late 2023, they will ban your music if you use any kind of spotify promotion service! TuneCore is awful. I don't know how but they are somehow stealing royalties. I have a song with them that has thousands of plays on Spotify and thousands more on KZread and have not earned even $1.00. I know that I won't earn a lot with that number of streams but based on distributing with other services like CDBaby and Distro, I have earned at least $40 with each of them. I am interested to give Landr a try but that price point is high.

i'm searching for somewhere to cover beatport

I'm being falsely accused of fake streams by landr. their accusations are smoking mirrors with no wild proof when requested. as an artist i can't prove I am not. they are threatening to take down my music. honestly I'm done with self release. if a label doesn't pick up a track it doesn't get released. I'm looking now for a 3rd distributor to at least park my music

Distrokid just did the same to me with my lastest single. I requested support from them and they haven't responded. I contacted Spotify directly and they basically gave me the middle finger. The rep was really rude. So I decided to remove my music catalog from Spotify. Also looking for another Distributor because Distrokid won't stand behind the artist.

Why not just label this video as a long ass advertisement for distrokid

How is CD baby' s costumer service response , I heard it stinks...

Well, it takes long time, 3 weeks and so.. And depending on the problem, they can fix some stuff. They are however unable to fix my KZread artist channel.

That legacy garbage is a deal breaker for dustrokid

Mahla Sangeet Distribution Is the best
