The Music Distribution Platform
for Artists, Labels & Distributors
Distribute your music worldwide from one dashboard. Deliver releases to Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, TikTok, Amazon Music, and 150+ stores, manage your catalog and releases, and track every royalty — all on a single music distribution platform.
What Is a Music Distribution Platform?
The software that delivers music to Spotify, Apple Music, and 150+ stores and manages the catalog, metadata, codes, and royalties behind every release — in one place.
A music distribution platform is software that delivers your recordings to digital streaming services and manages everything around each release. It stores your catalog, organizes metadata, generates ISRC and UPC codes, sends releases to stores, and tracks the royalties that come back — replacing spreadsheets and separate store portals with one dashboard.
Here is how it works: you upload a release once, add artwork and metadata, and the platform delivers it to Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, TikTok, Amazon Music, and 150+ services. Streams and sales are reported back into the same system, where earnings are calculated, split, and paid out — so distribution, catalog, and royalties live in a single place.
Independent artists use a distribution platform to reach every store and keep control of their releases and revenue. Record labels use it to manage a roster, split royalties, and run their catalog at scale. Distribution companies use it as the technology behind their own service. One platform, three very different jobs, all handled from the same dashboard.

Free Music Distribution vs a Professional Platform
Free music distribution services are a reasonable way to put a first release online. As your catalog, royalties, and roster grow, a professional distribution platform gives you the ownership, tooling, and scale that free tiers usually cannot. Here is an honest comparison.
Free Music Distribution
Best for getting a single release online with no upfront spend.
No upfront cost to release
Good for a first single or test release
Often limited to major stores only
Revenue share, caps, or paid upgrades
Little to no catalog or label tooling
Hard to scale beyond a few releases
Professional Distribution Platform
Built for artists, labels, and businesses growing a real catalog.
Delivery to 150+ stores worldwide
Keep your royalties and your catalog
Full catalog, release, and metadata tools
Label and multi-artist management
Royalty tracking, splits, and reporting
Scales from one artist to a full roster
