Distribution built for catalogs, not single uploads.
Labels send us releases in bulk or one at a time. Every release passes metadata and audio QC, then goes out as DDEX ERN to each store on the date you set — with territory, pricing and pre-order rules per release.

Common questions.
Which stores do you deliver to?
Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, TikTok and CapCut, Instagram and Facebook, Amazon Music, Deezer, Tidal, Boomplay, Anghami, NetEase, JOOX and more than 150 stores and platforms in total.
Can we keep our existing ISRCs and UPCs?
Yes. Back catalog migrates with its existing codes so play counts, playlists and history stay on the same releases.
Do you check releases before delivery?
Yes. Every master is matched against ACRCloud for copyright when you submit it, then our team reviews audio, artwork and metadata before any store receives it.
How far ahead should we deliver a release?
At least two weeks before release day. That leaves time for review, store ingestion and the marketing behind the release — pitching and pre-saves.
