I saw a comment on this video 2 month ago recommending me to submit my track to Xposic Spotify Promotion for consideration on their Spotify playlists. I said that I would come back to reveal my findings on this but can't see the comment anymore, so leaving it as a new comment. I went with a $65 listing which got me 20000 streams for my single.

[@Shmearnals]

THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST INFORMATIVE AND HELPFUL VIDEOS I'VE EVER SEEN. thank you thank you thank you

[@IAMLXGEND]

SUPER glad I could help you man. I tend to rant on and on and talk so much. I'm glad it paid off.

[@reddepo]

Thanks for putting this video together and for the info. I am a dance music producer with an upcoming dance track release and want to learn more about their copy/advertising services. I'd be curious to learn more about their other marketing campaign features. Also, I'd be interested in learning about cover song and how DITTO handles them.

[@IAMLXGEND]

Ditto is not a marketing company. They are a distribution company so they don’t advertise anything. Also, any distribution will not allow you to upload cover songs unless you have strict proven permission you’re allowed to upload it. Otherwise your song is going to get rejected.

[@marcbeam1]

Thanks for the info, you are a natural teacher, patient and the like. I can’t tell you how many folks I asked how to do this, their answers always began with a sigh then some Mumbo Jumbo then ended with, ahh Google it. Thanx again for the real world answers , Also, I dig your music. Best.

[@IAMLXGEND]

People are lazy and don’t like To go into detail or explain. I’m the complete opposite. I often talk TOO much lol. So these videos are really easy for me to film. much harder for me to edit down to not be an hour long hahah. Glad to help

I’m still trying to come up myself 🤣 but I get you. 🙏🏾

[@M.A.D.C.J]

I use tunecore but I just might have to move over to ditto lol it seems way better

[@IAMLXGEND]

Yea man I’ve used Tunecore in the past and this is a game changer... $19 a year for unlimited music? Pffff... and tunecore it’ll cost you $20 a year to have ONLY 2 songs on... there really isn’t a debate man. Plus they have their own Spotify playlist that you can work on being added to which = more is exposure and more fans. Also that $40 chart feature and the $40 4 hour distribution is CLUTCH.

[@Pranav_Mathur]

Go to distrokid instead. At least you get to add your lyrics too. Can't do it on ditto

[@IAMLXGEND]

I recommend distrokid as well. It’s what I currently use. Ditto hasn’t disappointed me either. Distrokid has more features though.

[@Pranav_Mathur]

@@IAMLXGEND How's distro treating you? I mean, what other extra features does it have other than the lyrics, as compared to ditto?

[@IAMLXGEND]

Every feature ditto has except chart breaker. And they have automatic splits for when you work with other artists/producers and they want their streaming pay.

[@gmanpowerhouse]

This video was really helpful! I was reading about Ditto Music, & was not sure about it, but after watching this video, my decision has been made easy, thanks to you :D ! Keep up the good work & I am definitely subscribing to your channel. Keep rocking

[@IAMLXGEND]

What were you reading? Reviews? Some people write some really random stuff with no evidence to back their claims or it’s an issue they’re causing themselves. Ditto has been really good to me. So it’s nice to see other people give them a chance. :) I’m glad I could help!

[@gmanpowerhouse]

[@SuperKvlogs]

Hey, great video! I just recently discovered Ditto and I wanna drop something on there. I have a couple questions. Thank you in advance! I confide in you my brotha🤝 1. Why is it that in my account if I were for instance to “custom select for stores” I can’t choose Apple Music alone? But it will let me select iTunes and when I press iTunes it will automatically select (iTunes, shazam and Apple Music as a group). And it does the same for a couple more stores. How can I fix this? 2. If I upload my track without an album cover because I chose to upload it later, will I be able to go back and add an album cover to the song even after it’s been released or after the order is placed but before the release date? Ex: Will the album cover update and show up on all the stores I decided to stream to? 3. Will Ditto be creating accounts for me for every store I selected to release the song on? Will I be able to access those accounts if it actually does? 4. How can I promote my music for cheaper than the $459 they charge to promote your music? Or does the $30 chart thing do that job? Or does putting in a lot of stores make is more promotional? 5. You suggested to select ALL the stores to release to. If someone clicks on my ditto link are they going to see that whole full list of stores to chose to listen from? Since it’s like a ton🤷🏽‍♀️ 6. If I leased a beat from someone should I add the copy of the beat lease in the copyright section so I don’t get copyrighted or something? Do I need to add my copyrighted lyrics also? Or does it only need the “prod. By blah blah blah thingy” next to the song title? I just don’t want the song to be taken down or anything. Sorry for all the questions but Thank you so much.

[@danniedanz]

Hi! Thank you so much for this video. I have a question tho... Scanned through the comments, but couldn't find no one with the same one: So, my only song on Spotify today was uploaded from a friend, who owns a record label - meaning he's uploaded it from his label Ditto account, and the profile was created. I want to become independent, so my question is: if I create my own Ditto account, upload a new song under the same artist name profile, will the earnings of that be separated from my friend's upload? In other words, he would only have permission to manage the song he uploaded himself, right? The ones I upload will only be managed by me in my account? Or should I ask him to remove my profile from his label account first? Thank you!

[@Yoskillamusic]

Great video bro I just signed up for ditto music to upload my song and I got charged that 79 dollars charge now I wanted to know if that’s just a one charge fees or do you get charged that 70 dollars every time you upload a song to ditto music

only on Spotify

If they have a trial offer, use it. I made this video 3-4 years ago. I don’t know what offers they have now.

[@Rennatheeomnipotent]

Hey if your still using ditto how is it going for you ? Do you like their services ? do you recommend it to others ? Do they pay out royalties because I heard they don’t pay out ? Can you do split payments like distrokid with just the artists email address? How is their customer service & do they deliver videos to KZbin ? Sorry to ask so much questions it’s just I really want to use these guys but they are not popular & I hear lots of bad reviews so it’s kind of a risk for me.

[@IAMLXGEND]

Everything about ditto is stated in this video already. All of these questions are answered within the video. The making of this video is a recommendation. Ditto pays like everybody else. You just need to cross a threshold to get paid. The majority of people complaining probably have less than $1 worth of money to get paid to them. They don’t pay that. And even if they did, it takes 3 months to receive royalties for any distributor. That’s not their fault, that’s the steaming service. No split payments. Customer service is fine. Yes as shown in the video they distribute to KZbin via VEVO and if KZbin is a selectable streaming service. You’ll see bad reviews about every distributor in the world and how they’re scamming thousands of dollars from customers. If everyone was scamming everyone, nobody would be distributing music. People just like to complain.

[@patovaldes6870]

How are you man? I have a few questions... I’m not from USA (I’m from Argentina) and I was wondering if do you know if ditto works for people outside USA. Also I would like to know if Ditto gives you the copyright of the song you upload, or you have to get them previously. I didn’t fully understand what are those National and Worldwide Charts. Thanks so much for the help! Bless you!

[@IAMLXGEND]

No distribution service provides copyright information or tools for your upload. That’s something you have to do yourself. The national and worldwide charts are the charts for music... #1 song on billboard top 100. #1 song on hip hop charts... things like this. The same charts normal artists have their song on. Yes, Ditto works outside of the US because they aren’t based in the US. They are from the UK. So they have to work outside the US lol

[@patovaldes6870]

@@IAMLXGEND so if you don't pay for the worldwide chart, you won't appear in any top (assuming you get there)... I'm I right?? Thanks so much for your help!!!!

[@IAMLXGEND]

Yea. You won’t appear there. iTunes you will. Or things like this. But billboard and anything tracked by Nielsen you won’t.

[@KharMohn]

i kno you’re on their payroll but be honest with me man I seen bad reviews on ditto . Is it really good & how often do you get paid ?

[@IAMLXGEND]

I’m not “on their payroll” lol. It was just a partnered video I did for a service I’m already using and believe in. It really is good for the reasons I stated in the video. They have features nobody else has and you’re only paying once ($19 a year) for unlimited releases. Vs Tunecore (who I’ve used previously) it’s $10-20 for ONE RELEASE per year. If you put out 20 singles you’d be paying $19 a year still with Ditto. If you put out 20 singles with Tunecore you’d be paying $200-400 a year just to keep those releases up lol. For less features. Charting alone makes it worth it for me but also the option for same day release is TOP NOTCH and NO ONE else is doing that. I never make any video about any product or service unless I use it myself or if i believe in it. I’ll have to check back on how often you get paid because I have reached that threshold since migrating my music over here from tunecore

[@phenomanist5128]

[@Deejayirie]

[@llewelynparry7279]

Do you have to pay to upload a song??

[@chuckytherapper]

I was watching a video similar to this one and they said that one of the distrubution centers takes down all your music and you lose ALL your analytics if you miss a payment with them. I was thinking about using DistroKid what do you guys think?

[@IAMLXGEND]

What do you mean “distribution centers”? As far as I know, once you distribute something through Ditto it stays up forever but I could be wrong. I’m trying to look into it now but services like Tunecore do the same thing. If you don’t pay them the annual fee per track, they’ll take down your releases. So if this is the case then it’s normal. Which I why I recommend you don’t invest in distributing unless you’re ready to shoulder that cost for sure. I’ve never used Distrokid. Just Ditto and Tunecore. Also about to look into another called Amuse which has an interesting discover feature to sign artists... video coming soon.

[@chuckytherapper]

Sorry I used to work in warehouses called distribution centers so when I talk about digital distribution SERVICES I end up saying “Center” lol.

[@chuckytherapper]

Distro kid allows you to keep all of your royalties, create a group of people whom get a percentage you’ve established (like a split sheet) and post everywhere tunecore does. For only $20/ year. That’s what turned me onto them. But UNFORTUNATELY I am not ready to distribute yet!!! I feel TERRIBLE but I still need to purchase my leases/ exclusives. I do give credit where it’s due. But I am terrified to distribute and end up in a lawsuit. For money I already do not have or even fame I’m still learning to maintain. I wish I could make my own beats as well as you do. ... but if that cray stuff I just said DOES happen... I’m still legendary for life. IAMLXGEND

Hey, I am Lxgend how are you? Thank you for another informative video that helps up & coming artists, musicians, singers, songwriters like me. I was wondering two things though (1) can an artist have 2 pros or no and (2) can an artist distribute with more than one distributor to take advantage of some services one may have with one as oppose to another?

[@IAMLXGEND]

You may be able to have 2 PROs but you can not register a song with more than one so I don’t really see the benefit of having more than one. And yes you can distribute whatever you want with whoever you want. But distributing the same song or album as something previously released must be disclosed when you distribute.

I leased a beat and have rights to monetize a certain amount of copies but i do not own rights to the beat so im technically not the copyright holder? Will my track be denied by ditto if i dont put the producer name as the copyright holder?

[@IAMLXGEND]

Ditto doesn’t know who the producer is unless you tell them so no, they won’t deny it. But your producer can have it taken down if he’s worried about the numbers not being reported. Just depends entirely on the agreement you and he have. But generally you do not own the copyright to a leased beat.

It should put it on your Spotify page or have a place for you to verify which artist you are. I don’t work for ditto I’m just contracted to make videos for their videos so you’re better suited to ask them this question question directly.

1 question, do they make the accounts for you so like for apple music and spotify or do you make it???? how does that work

[@IAMLXGEND]

Every distributor does the same: when you distribute to your artist profile, if you’re not already an artist on there it automatically creates an account for you. Once you add more music with that same service it will distribute to that same artist account. You can then go claim & customize the account yourself by downloading Spotify for Artists app or doing it on the website and downloading the Apple Music for artists app as well.

How long does it take to start streaming showing? in the page says that it can take up to three months? also do they pay for music downloaded from KZbin? thanks

They pay for everything. But not music downloaded. They can’t track KZbin downloads. Just streams.

[@BLAZE-rd6zg]

@@IAMLXGEND So yes. I have paid 2 singers, to sing inside this one song. They are underrated, and not famous. So how much exactly must I pay?

[@IAMLXGEND]

彡『BLAZE』彡 again. That depends on what YOU and THEY agree on. There is no set amount. You agree on what to pay them.

[@BLAZE-rd6zg]

@@IAMLXGEND No no, I meant, do I have to pay higher amount in this website on your video as the singers increase?

[@IAMLXGEND]

彡『BLAZE』彡 no......

[@paulharris9702]

[@IAMLXGEND]

It does not unfortunately but I will be making another video soon on which company I do use for KZbin, Facebook, and Instagram publishing!

If I chose the single artist plan, can I still have a featured artist on my track?

[@IAMLXGEND]

Yes

[@nikkozgamz6383]

bro i love u can u upload vidz abt mixing technique

[@IAMLXGEND]

I can but it’s not gonna be very detailed. I don’t consider myself a master of mixing, for me it’s just turning stuff up and down until it sounds right lol.

[@IAMLXGEND]

Yes.

[@tiantv9689]

So if i get a feature from 2 artists would i have to get the record label option or how does that work. Theres only a one and 2 artist option for independent artists and i want to work with other artists so im trying to understand... ?

[@tiantv9689]

Also how would i credit the producer so they can get paid.

[@IAMLXGEND]

1. The label option from what I understand is for managing multiple artists releases not for splitting royalties on a single song. As I understand it, only your account will be sent the money for streaming royalties. You will have to be the one to distribute the percentages of such to the particular parties. Unless you sign up for their label in a box system and that does the splits for you from what I understand but I don’t know for sure. Even if you sign up for a label account, the money still comes into that account. 2. You don’t credit the producer on DITTO. The producer needs to register his music production to a PRO company so they can track sales and all that and he gets paid through them. Or you can do the label in a box option and just put him on as a writer to get his percentage.

Do parodies count as someone else's work or no?

[@IAMLXGEND]

Yes, it has to sound different. Like it can be a similar style beat with some changes but if ya the same exact music with the same exact melody just different words, it won’t work out

[@kaithesavageballer]

@@IAMLXGEND ight thanks man

[@IAMLXGEND]

No problem

[@yassetroldan2064]

Good video bro, but how do you get to be on a Spotify playlist or something like that?

[@IAMLXGEND]

You submit your song directly with spotify. I believe you need an artist account.

[@yassetroldan2064]

IAMLXGEND I have an artist account, but I can’t find the way on how to submit to Spotify playlist, I don’t see the option anywhere, do you know how to do it?Thanks for answering my first comment 🙏🏾

Hi, in how many days your song was released?

[@IAMLXGEND]

Zero

[@AndyCharmMartin]

How does this work for putting DJ mixes out? I dont wish to make any money from this but I would like to put DJ mixes out for people to stream on Deezer etc

[@IAMLXGEND]

If you don’t own the music, you’d need to first get the rights to use their music and then put it out. Otherwise they won’t approve your release. And if they mistakenly do, and the artists find out, you’re likely to get sued.

MixCloud bro

[@filip.i3710]
