What is digital distribution?

Digital distribution is the key to your music's journey to listeners' ears worldwide. It's the process of getting your music on streaming platforms, online stores, and everywhere your audience might find you. Here's what you need to know:

Each digital service has specifications for the audio files they receive. Mastering ensures your tracks meet these sonic standards, and the digital distributors send each service a file according to its specs for a smooth transition in streaming services and digital stores.

The information attached to your tracks, like the artist name, song titles, and album art, is crucial. Digital distributors give you the option to embed this information. Make sure you don’t skip this because accurate metadata helps your music get discovered and properly attributed.

Protecting your music with copyright and understanding licensing is essential for monetization. Keep track of your digital rights to ensure you get paid for streams and downloads. Most digital distributors will add an ISRC code to your music so your royalties will be properly tracked.
