About

DistroKid is a service for musicians that puts your music into online stores & streaming services. Then when people listen to your music, we send you money. All your music should be in stores. DistroKid is the only service that lets you upload unlimited music to stores for one low price and keep 100% of your earnings. Other services make you pay every time you upload something, or they take a percent of earnings—which is way less fun (and way more expensive). DistroKid gets your music into stores in a fraction of the time it takes our competitors to get your music into stores. DistroKid is for solo musicians, artists, bands, DJs, performers, producers, and creators who record music at home or in the studio. We have services for labels, too. We distribute your music on Spotify, Apple Music, TikTok, Pandora, Amazon, Instagram, YouTube, Tidal, iHeartRadio, Deezer and many other stores and streaming services.

About

We have the biggest reach available to establish and grow your fanbase in China. Distribute and be heard where western music services are not available. Sync your music, TV series, movies, games and more. Go to the distribution platform page, upload your music and publish your release. With every release you share your audio to 20+ music and media services to a potential audience of over 800 million listeners in China and also to +70 global stores including the biggest streaming services, Spotify, Deezer, Youtube Content ID, Amazon and much more. Each release can be an album of up to 50 tracks, an EP or a single. You keep 100% of the rights to your music, receive detailed streaming reports and can upgrade anytime. Includes sync option, you may choose upon publishing your release if you would also like to sync your music.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Easy and User-Friendly Interface: DistroKid boasts a straightforward and intuitive interface, making it incredibly easy for artists to navigate and manage their music distribution. The platform's simplicity ensures a smooth user experience, even for those new to music distribution. Swift Distribution Process: DistroKid excels in delivering music to major streaming platforms quickly. Artists can expect their music to be available to fans within a matter of hours, eliminating long waiting times that can hinder promotional efforts and momentum. Affordable Pricing Structure: DistroKid offers an exceptional value for money, with a straightforward and transparent pricing structure. Artists pay a flat annual fee, allowing them to distribute an unlimited number of songs and albums without any additional charges. This pricing model is especially beneficial for independent artists on a tight budget. Customization and Release Flexibility: DistroKid provides artists with various customization options, including the ability to set release dates, create pre-orders, and instantly deliver content to YouTube. This level of flexibility empowers artists to plan and execute their music releases according to their specific marketing strategies. Extensive Distribution Network: DistroKid has a wide-reaching distribution network, ensuring that artists' music reaches all major streaming platforms and digital stores. From Spotify and Apple Music to Amazon Music and Tidal, DistroKid covers a comprehensive range of platforms, maximizing exposure and potential revenue for artists. Comprehensive Sales and Streaming Analytics: DistroKid offers detailed analytics and insights into an artist's streaming and sales performance. Artists can track their music's progress, monitor trends, and make data-driven decisions for future releases and promotional campaigns. Additional Artist Services: In addition to music distribution, DistroKid offers a range of supplementary services to support artists. These include options for monetizing cover songs through YouTube and access to Spotify for Artists, enabling artists to gain valuable insights and control over their Spotify profiles. Overall, DistroKid's user-friendly interface, fast distribution, affordability, customization options, extensive network, analytics, and additional artist services make it an excellent choice for independent musicians looking to maximize their music's reach and potential in the digital landscape.

Cons

  • Limited Customer Support Response Time: While DistroKid's customer support team is generally helpful, there have been instances where the response time was longer than expected. This delay can be frustrating, especially when urgent issues or inquiries arise that require immediate attention. Improved responsiveness would greatly enhance the overall user experience. Lack of Physical Distribution Options: DistroKid primarily focuses on digital music distribution, which means it does not offer options for physical distribution such as CDs or vinyl. While digital platforms dominate the music industry, some artists and fans still value physical formats. It would be beneficial if DistroKid expanded its services to include physical distribution, providing artists with a more comprehensive range of distribution options.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • What should be real is NOT real because what they say they do does not work. There are no pros. Lies
  • They do it right cause specialised for one specific Territory, China and South Corea. Resulting this, Musicinfo knows the market and holds direct contacts to the Partners and Platforms the Music appears. These are big plus points.
  • I discovered MusicInfo few months ago thanks to an online financial magazine and I don't regret because MusicInfo team (especially Han who is my usual correspondent) is very kind and always helps for any question and fix any problem. I already sent to most Chinese stores 7 compilations (remaining 3 more ones) of 50 tracks through MusicInfo service and I of course recommend them. Emmanuel (Phoenix Records)😎
  • I have joined MusicInfo late in 2018 and now my music is live with major music distributors in Mainland China. Having my music listed on popular Chinese streaming services has opened me up to great exposure with my new Chinese audience, who now have the opportunity to hear my music and enjoy it to its fullest, which is all very exciting indeed! I have also passed 1 million streams in Mainland China in 2021 which is great news!
  • Reliability, speed, and good management. An accessible and complete panel good follow-up and infinite opportunities in a wide and at the same time difficult market.

Cons

  • They lied to get our account. We went to them way upfront with the issue we had at retail. They lied. They then doubled down saying this would work or not work and then weeks later came up with some other odd half plan that made zero sense. The platform does not work. If you cant carry over ISRC's and UPC's, thats the A, B, C's of what they do. thats all its supposed to do and most of all, WE CAME TO THEM WAY UPFRONT and they lied. They also scammed us into getting two plans. They have taken 349 USD without doing one thing besides waste three months, and they have never refunded the money. They are thieves.
  • No cons to list. Working less then 6 Months with the Service.
  • The Chinese market is quite slow for sending sales reports but it's the fault of the stores, not of MusicInfo service that is excellent.
