[@uamee]

Distrokid is such a strange company. I release music under several artist names with them, some even verified with the blue check mark. Recently, I put out an album under a new name, and then got a message from Distrokid saying I’d received a strike for botted streams-around 200 plays from a playlist that was later deleted, which I didn’t even add my music to. I asked why I’d risk my account for 200 streams when my other music averages 30-50k streams daily. They didn’t even respond, just removed the strike. *shrug*

[@BigMTBrain]

I'm just starting out, and I'm curious... why release under several artists names? Different genres? Different personas? Different marketing approaches? All of the above? Any or all make sense, but I'm curious to hear your reason(s). Thanks.

[@Fire-Toolz]

@@BigMTBrainyou answered your own question. those are all all and common reasons to use other monikers.

[@BigMTBrain]

@@Fire-Toolz Of course. Thanks. I'm just sometimes curious to hear a given creator's take on why they do certain things and what benefits they hope to gain from doing them.

[@uamee]

@@BigMTBrain Basically that, plus there is not that much audience overlap as the genres are wildly different. Putting it all under one roof would confuse both the people listening and the algorithm.

[@BigMTBrain]

@@uamee Got it. Thanks. Similarly, I'm quite eclectic in musical tastes and music I create, and have considered that different personas for each genre would be best for distribution. However, then the puzzle arises if you want to perform them all as a single persona. I can see for those who generate works with AI or who are just recording artists, this is of no concern, because they have no plans or desire to also perform. But for a performer, separate distribution personas could be an issue.

[@scottrooks1248]

Did you know they won't let you downgrade your plan to one of the cheaper ones? That's right. Instead, you have to remove all your music from stores, open a new account, choose the cheap plan, and re-upload everything again. Sounds insane, right? It's their actual policy. Distrokid is trash.

[@isomatic]

I have their penultimate plan and was looking to downgrade as I’m only focusing on 2 artist projects now but there was no option to. Now I know why. Either i continue to not pay them or just do at least 1 album each from 3 projects a year, which is doable and probably my best option at this point.

[@alyxgonzales]

CD Baby not having a subscription option is absolutely a good thing. They charge a $10 one time fee for your release to stay up forever, while Distrokid will take down your releases if you cancel the subscription unless you pay an extra $49 per album or $29 per single for the "legacy" option.

@@teroniemiSo in my experience it doesn’t happen like that at Distrokid. They just temporarily take your music down until you pay them again. I’m a few months past due and that’s what it still says. Will they honor it when I pay them? We’ll see. Will they permanently remove them after a year of non-payment? I don’t know. But it’s not like if you cant pay they just immediately take it down forever. I’m not defending them I’m just sharing my current experience.

[@Bthelick]

I've personally never had any problems with distrokid. But one major thing that sucks about the contract is they don't have enough staff to police your music from being copied / stolen. Because if you declare the use of any sample (with rights and license inc splice etc) they make you sign a waiver which means you can't use KZbin ID. (Because they clearly don't want to get involved in those disputes where multiple people have used the same sample)

[@RobertDorschel]

[@7177YT]

I quit Distrokid because back then they gave Non-US customers the runaround when it came to payouts. I quit my account and made them pull my music.

[@djse]

CD Baby is cheaper and probably a better option on the long run, "no suscription fees" mean you pay for a release once and it stay online (you don't have to pay each year to maintain it online). It's not a "pay a fee to upload what you want and pay each year to maintain it online" system, but a "pay only once to upload a specific release" system. So technically more expensive than an year suscription if you upload a lot, but if you die your music stay online :)

They have a surprisingly long leniency, but they do eventually remove your music if you don’t pay. They will email you warnings.

Bot problem happens with all distributors I won't lie, one of my songs that had 30k streams at the time distributed by SoundCloud for Artists got added to some botted playlist but they only botted 500 streams. Thankfully I'm fortunate enough to have a ton of genuine streams from a base of actual ppl but that would definitely get someone's song taken down if they were super small and had only like 5 monthly listeners or something just starting out. Wheel of playlists on DK is a no no tho because you're basically just guaranteed being added to a botted playlist.
