Before you choose
Terms change regularly. Use this directory as a starting point, then confirm current information with the provider.
A distributor delivers your audio and metadata to streaming and download services, then reports usage and pays royalties under its current terms.
Distribution and ownership are separate. Many distributors let artists retain ownership, but agreements vary. Confirm master rights, takedown terms and licensing permissions before signing.
Free plans may use commission, paid add-ons or feature limits. Compare the total cost against your release schedule and required services.
Usually, but migration needs careful ISRC, UPC, metadata and takedown coordination. Confirm the process with both providers before moving releases.
Verified dates appear on each profile. Pricing and features can change, so Pace Audio always links to the provider for final confirmation.
