OT... Distrokid

[charles kasler]

I just joined distro kid, a distributor. Anyone have any experience with them? So far they seem good and have sent my music around to a number of streaming sites but of course promotion is always the missing piece. Thanks.

Depends on your situation, probably fine if you think you'll sell more than the yearly fee costs. I always suggest reading this to anyone new to online distribution:

It’s been an over year and 14 of my songs and I made $5 after 10,000 or so plays.  
So I didn’t renew my subscription but they can’t take the songs down so I’m fine with that. It’s cool to tell people at concerts that they can listen to you music on any of the delivery services. It also is an essential part of getting those gigs.  They want links to Spotify and YouTube. 
All these distributor companies are just the new version of the record labels that never paid you either. 
So many Beat makers crank out millions of “productions”. They all think this is the ticket to success! The only success is that Distro kid is taking your money and then doing nothing much else other than giving your music away.  
Our good friends at Bandlab follow this same trend.
