I’m a beatmaker. Can you use multiple music distributors to distribute my music?

Yes, you can use multiple music distributors, but consider the following:

1. Exclusivity: Some distributors require exclusivity for tracks or albums. Read their terms carefully.
2. Territorial Reach: Different distributors have varying market access. Using multiple services can expand your reach.
3. Fees and Royalties: Compare costs and royalties to choose the best fit.
4. Management Complexity: Managing releases, sales, and royalties across multiple platforms can be challenging. Use a system to stay organized.
5. Aggregators: Distributors like aggregators simplify the process by sending your music to multiple platforms at once.

Important: Do not distribute the same track/album through multiple distributors simultaneously. This can cause duplicate listings, split royalties, or content takedowns.

Tips for Using Multiple Distributors:

• Assign different tracks/albums to different distributors.
• Use territorial splits if supported.
• Switch distributors by properly removing tracks from the old distributor before re-uploading.

Popular distributors include DistroKid, CD Baby, TuneCore, Ditto Music, and Amuse. Research to find the best fit for your needs.
