Music distribution is the process of getting your music onto streaming platforms and online stores so listeners can access it. Services like DistroKid, TuneCore, and CD Baby simplify this by allowing independent artists to distribute their music to platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and YouTube Music. These distributors handle the logistics, such as royalties and licensing, often charging a fee or taking a small commission. Some also offer tools for audience growth and marketing insights. Choosing the right distributor depends on your budget, goals, and need for extra features like promotional tools or social media integration.
