Music Distribution FAQ

How to upload music on Spotify & other streaming stores
If you want to upload music to Spotify and other streaming stores, you need a music distributor like Distro Sync. Stores don’t allow users to upload their music directly because they want to avoid dealing with copyright issues and guideline problems. Instead, they select partners like Distro Sync to handle distribution, payments, guidelines, copyright, and everything related to these aspects. To publish your music, you simply need to create an account on Distro Sync, and then you can start uploading your music to our distribution platform. Depending on your chosen plan (Free or Premium), your music will be distributed within 5 hours after submission.
How can I upload music to TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook?
At Distro Sync, we’ve got you covered. When you submit music with us, it will be automatically distributed to all streaming stores around the world, including TikTok Music, Instagram Music, and Facebook Music. There are no additional steps required on your part. We handle the publication of your music to all streaming stores and social media music platforms.
How can I distribute music for free?
Do you wonder how we can offer free music distribution to everyone? Here’s the answer: we want to give every artist the chance to be heard around the world. If you’ve just started your music career and want to get your music on Spotify, TikTok, Deezer, Apple Music, etc., without any costs, that’s why we offer free music distribution. We only earn if you do, and as a free member, you’ll keep 80% of your streaming revenue. If you notice that your music is gaining traction, you can upgrade your plan at any time to keep 100% of your revenue.
How do I monetize my songs on YouTube Music?
Distro Sync music distribution offers YouTube Content ID for our users. YouTube Content ID helps you earn all streaming revenue generated by your music. For example, if someone on YouTube uses your music in their video, we will automatically claim it for you, and you will receive all the earnings generated by that video. Your music, your money.
What is Independent music distribution?
Back in the day, musicians like you could only publish music with the help of label management, which often took a big cut of your revenue (around 80%). It was also challenging to become a member of a label. With Distro Sync, it’s easy—you can be your own music label and, depending on your plan, keep up to 100% of your streaming revenue. Now, you are a true independent artist!
Can I transfer my music from DistroKid or another service?
Yes, you can! The best part is that your music will stay live in stores without any downtime. You won’t lose any statistics (streams, playlist positions, etc.). The transfer is completely seamless. Just make sure to use the same metadata and ISRC for your previously published music (cover art, artist name, song title, audio file, etc.). (ISRC: You can always find this code with your current distributor, such as DistroKid, TuneCore, etc.) If you have any questions regarding the transfer, our team is always happy to help. Just open a ticket or send us an email at support@distrosync.in.
