Fast Delivery and Artist Support.

Once you have uploaded your music using the convenient web uploader, it goes into the pending stage where we check the metadata for any errors and also have a listen to determine if your music meets the required Music Store Quality Standards before delivering it over to them. If any errors are discovered we will contact you as soon as possible with a soloution guide so that the release can be cleared out and sent to Music Stores as planned.

Free UPC and ISRC Codes.

No extra charges on UPC or ISRC codes for your new releases, We assign each of your tracks during upload with a unique UPC and ISRC Code free of charge before delivering it to Music Stores. If you plan on releasing any tracks with us that have already been released through a different distributor, please make sure to upload your tracks using the same ISRC Code you were provided with for each particular track in order to synchronize your streaming data across the different music stores.

Free Playlisting, Social Media and Onsite Features.

We’re music fanatics and currently curating a wide range of active playlists across major streaming platforms like Apple Music, Spotify, Tidal, and Deezer. This’s another priority reason why we listen to each and every submission sent our way so we can confidently pitch our artist’s music to our expanding list of playlist curators as well as place your music in some of our own playlists, social media posts and onsite blog features.

Automatic Payment Splits.

Artists will be able to access a Payment Split feature easily found on their dashboard. The Payment Splits feature allows multiple song collaborators to receive a split percentage of royalty payouts on a release directly to their wallet.

Payment Splits is a powerful tool for artists, managers and labels to cut down on costly accounting time and ensure all parties get their share of royalties.

This feature is integrated with every current and new DistroBuddy Artist account and is free for you to access. It is also FREE for collaborators to sign up to our store to receive their royalty splits.

You will be able to add or remove unlimited collaborators and change split percentages at any time. Splits also make it possible for artists to view the history of their royalty splits over time, so that if any changes are made, they have a record of all previous percentage designations.

Improved Royalties Dashboard.

We’re excited to present you with an improved royalties dashboard, giving you more transparency and understanding when it comes to how royalties are calculated.

In the dashboard you will also be able to see a split shares history table and have the ability to update future royalties if split shares change over time. The new dashboard gives a huge level of detail and transparency.
