FAQ

Music Distribution Services such as AuxChord are created to ease the workload of independent music creators & music labels. Using AuxChord’s music distribution services, you can easily bulk deliver your songs & assets to multiple online stores and streaming platforms with just a few clicks. Music Distribution has never been so simple! Instead of going to each store individually; uploading audio, arts, titling, tagging, etc.. over and over again, you just do it once on the AuxChord distribution platform and we take care of the rest!

Our music distribution services offer fast delivery to stores, swift customer support replies, and specific attention to detail with everyone who is accepted to use our distribution platform. As we are currently only accepting clients who meet our application standards, this gives us the ability to focus on achieving maximum results for a smaller group of independent artists & labels. More opportunities for everyone!

Auxchord’s Music Distribution services offer deliveries to all the big stores including (but not limited to): Spotify, iTunes/Apple Music, YouTube Music, Tidal, Deezer, Amazon Music / Amazon Prime, TikTok, Facebook/Instagram, & many more.

Yes we can distribute your music to Beatport. This process includes a label registration with the store. Please reach out to [email protected] if you are looking to distribute your music to Beatport and our team will handle this for you!

As most stores recommend distributing your music a few weeks in advance we also recommend this. If you plan to pitch music to any official store (such as Spotify Playlists) their guidelines are the most ideal and this gives them the time needed to review your release before it goes public. Although we can deliver your music and have it live in some stores in as soon as 15 minutes!

Youtube Content ID is a tool used to prevent your original music material from being uploaded or used on YouTube without your prior consent. As not all musicians are looking to track, block, or monetize these uploads, we leave this as an optional feature to add to your releases. We also offer copyright protection on platforms such as Twitch, Facebook/Instagram, & Soundcloud.

We got that covered! Just send an email to [email protected] and we will follow up with your request. We can submit your music to official playlists on multiple stores, not to mention we also work alongside many very successful independent playlist curators!

To do it yourself; once you distribute your music it will appear in Spotify For Artists.
Here you can directly pitch to Spotify playlists and curators. We can also assist in providing guidelines & templates to assist you in achieving a placement.

Note: it is recommended to distribute your music a few weeks in advance in order to fulfil the guidelines put in place by each DSP if you are planning to pitch music to playlists.

We pay royalties to artists and labels via PayPal or Wire Transfer.

There is really no definitive answer to either of these questions.
As Spotify calculates and pays royalties to musicians and labels using the “Stream Share” model, this would depend on many factors such as; territory of stream, type of Spotify account (free, premium, family, student, etc), your percentage of streams in each territory vs. all other artists streamed in this territory, etc..

What we do know is that USA has the highest royalty rate / streamshare rate. Basically, the more American listeners you have, the closer your payment will be to the “$4000.00 per million streams” statistic in which most musicians believe to be at all times factual.

Artworks must be 3000x3000px in either .JPG or .PNG format.
(300dpi recommended)

iTunes also requires all of the text on the album cover to exactly match the album title. Any extra text on the album art may result in your release being declined by Apple.

We can assist both labels and musicians with verifying & gaining access to multiple artist platforms. Please email [email protected] for more information.
