Distribution services

Post by Death »

I'm looking for a music distribution service that meets the following requirements:

* No recurring fees of any sort. Either free to release or pay a one time fee upfront.
* Royalty payments on request rather than every month automatically.
* Doesn't require Paypal.
* Soundcloud monetisation.
* YouTube Conent ID.
* Facebook Content ID.
* Instagram Content ID.
* Major streaming services: Spotify, iTunes/Apple Music, Deezer etc.


I can find services with any of these features but none with all of them. Know of any?

Cheers :wink:

The only one I know that fits some of those is CDBaby but I am not sure if fits all of them.

Thanks for the suggestions :)

I'm not keen on CDBaby so will avoid them.

Distrokid has a recurring fee which is the biggest issue for me. I don't want any recurring fees.

I already use RouteNote but it has payment issues for me which are that they automatically pay out your royalties every month. I'm pretty sure they require Paypal too.

I found one called iMusician (https://imusician.pro/) which ticks all the boxes other than Instagram Content ID & Soundcloud monetisation. I could live without the Instagram Content ID but lack of Soundcloud monetisation is a big deal as I get a lot of my plays there. Though I could continue to use RouteNote for that. The thing is, I already use multiple distribution services and it's a headache to manage so I'm hoping to just use one for everything.

Thanks again :wink:
