charles kasler Posted Friday at 01:41 PM Share Posted Friday at 01:41 PM 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: https://aristake.com/digital-distribution-comparison/ Edited Friday at 02:12 PM by hsmusic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Sock Monkey Posted Friday at 11:08 PM Share Posted Friday at 11:08 PM 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 AndyB01 Posted Saturday at 08:26 PM Share Posted Saturday at 08:26 PM I tried it as an easy way of publishing some licensed covers but - although the process was pretty easy compared to some of the others that I am completely unable to get my head around - I found it not really the right solution for an occasional hobbyist like me. So I took down the tracks and canned the account. I've since worked out the simplest way to deal with covers is just not to do any. 😂 All that said, DK did what it said on the tin, it just wasn't for me.
