Can I Choose the Shops I Distribute My Music To?
Yes, of course! You can choose to distribute your music in all the shops at once or make a selection, as you prefer. Keep in mind though that streaming platforms have specific conditions and requirements. Here are the main things to keep in mind whenever you’re distributing your music to multiple shops:
Each shop has its own unique policies and guidelines.
Our role is to ensure that your release meets the requirements of each shop you’ve selected and that it gets accepted when we deliver it. Since we need to align your release with each store’s criteria as closely as possible, we reserve the right to readapt your metadata if needed.
Each shop reserves the right to display your music according to their own stylistic preferences.
For example, some stores may display only simplified music genres (e.g., Electronic instead of Garage House), which can affect how your release appears to listeners.
Each shop reserves the right to reject a delivery if it's not in line with their own policies.
There may be instances where, unfortunately, a specific shop doesn’t approve your release because its content doesn’t align with their policies and guidelines. For example, Apple will refuse a release if it’s not in line with their stylistic guidelines.
We are deeply committed to preserving your creative vision throughout the distribution process. At the same time, we want to ensure your music reaches the stores successfully. If a shop’s requirements are not met, we may need to adjust your metadata to comply with platform-specific guidelines. Rest assured, any changes we make are done with care and respect for your original intentions, and we only intervene when absolutely necessary!
