How to Switch Music Distributors Without Losing Your Streams

Many artists stay with a distributor longer than they want because they are afraid of losing their streams, playlist placements and reviews. With the right preparation, you can move your catalogue to a new distributor without taking your music offline.

Why matching matters

Stores recognise a release by its identifiers and details. When the new delivery matches the existing release, platforms can keep the stream history, playlist positions and links together. When the details differ, the store may treat it as a new product, and your history can be split across two versions.

Step 1: Collect your release data

Before you change anything, export or write down for each release:

  • The UPC of the release and the ISRC of every track.
  • The exact artist name, release title and track titles, including capitalisation.
  • The original release date.
  • The final audio files and artwork that were delivered.
  • Credits, featured artists and genre.

Step 2: Create the release in SpaceMedia

Create the release again with the same artist name, titles, audio, artwork, UPC and ISRCs wherever available. Enter your existing codes instead of generating new ones. Add the original release date so the release keeps its place in your discography.

Step 3: Wait until the new delivery is live

Keep the release active with your old distributor until the SpaceMedia delivery has been approved and is live on the stores. Removing it too early can take your music offline for a while.

Step 4: Remove the release from your old distributor

Once the new version is live, ask your previous distributor to take down their copy. Check the main stores afterwards to confirm that your release, play counts and playlists are still in place.

Tips for a smooth move

  • Move one release first. Test the process with a single before you transfer your whole catalogue.
  • Collect your last payouts. Make sure you receive any remaining royalties from your old distributor, and note that late reports for past streams may still arrive there.
  • Update your links. Point your smartlinks and bio links to the live releases.
  • Keep your records. A spreadsheet of codes, titles and dates makes every future release easier.

FAQ Distribusi Musik

SpaceMedia menghadirkan musik ke jaringan streaming streaming, unduhan, sosial, dan identifikasi musik yang luas dan terus berubah. Ini dapat mencakup layanan besar seperti Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, Deezer, TikTok, Facebook dan Instagram, SoundCloud, Tidal, Pandora, Boomplay, Anghami, iHeart, JioSaavn, KKBOX, NetEase Cloud Music, Tencent, Qobuz, dan mitra yang didukung lainnya.

Jaringan yang tepat dapat berubah seiring platform memperbarui wilayah, aturan, dan persyaratan pengiriman. SpaceMedia memberi Anda akses ke saluran distribusi yang didukung, tetapi tidak ada distributor yang dapat menjamin bahwa setiap platform akan menerima setiap rilisan di setiap negara.

Most major streaming services do not let every artist upload music directly. A distributor like SpaceMedia delivers your audio, artwork, metadata, and rights information to supported platforms so your release can appear on services such as Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, Deezer, TikTok, and others.

Create an account, choose the plan that fits your needs, upload the final release files, review the details, and submit. SpaceMedia reviews Free submissions within 5 business days, Premium submissions within 2 business days, and Label submissions within 1 to 2 business days. Store publishing happens afterwards.

Anda dapat memonetisasi musik yang memenuhi syarat di platform video yang didukung melalui Content ID jika paket Anda menyertakannya. Content ID saat ini sudah termasuk dalam Premium dan Unlimited, dan tidak termasuk dalam paket Gratis.

Kirimkan hanya musik yang Anda kendalikan sepenuhnya untuk Content ID. Lagu dengan sampel yang belum dibersihkan, beat non-eksklusif, loop bebas royalti yang digunakan oleh banyak kreator, rekaman domain publik, atau hak yang dipersengketakan dapat ditolak atau menyebabkan klaim yang perlu diselesaikan.

Kirimkan rilisan Anda melalui SpaceMedia dan pilih distribusi ke platform musik sosial jika tersedia. Rilisan yang memenuhi syarat dapat dikirim ke platform seperti TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, dan layanan musik sosial atau musik pendek lainnya yang didukung.

Setelah dikirim, setiap platform menentukan bagaimana musik tampil, berapa lama pemrosesan berlangsung, dan fitur apa saja yang tersedia di setiap wilayah. Gunakan metadata yang akurat dan audio yang bersih untuk mengurangi masalah pengiriman yang dapat dihindari.

Independent music distribution lets artists release music to streaming, download, and social platforms without signing to a traditional record label. You stay in control of your music while using a distributor to deliver it to supported services.

With SpaceMedia, you can manage releases, artist details, earnings, and payout information from your account. All standard plans let users keep 100% of standard DSP royalties.

The Free plan lets artists release music without an upfront distribution fee and keep 100% of standard DSP royalties.

This gives new artists a way to start releasing music before paying for a yearly plan. Premium and Label add more primary-artist capacity and tools. All standard plans include 100% of standard DSP royalties.

Ya. Dalam banyak kasus, Anda dapat mentransfer rilisan yang sudah ada ke SpaceMedia sambil tetap aktif, asalkan Anda mengirimkan metadata, audio, karya seni, UPC, dan ISRCs yang sama jika tersedia.

Biarkan rilisan lama tetap aktif sampai pengiriman SpaceMedia benar-benar aktif dan cocok. Menghapus versi lama terlalu awal dapat mengganggu ketersediaan atau membuat toko memperlakukan transfer sebagai rilisan baru daripada mencocokkannya dengan yang sudah ada.
