Oh I heard some of your music when I work out. Hi!

[@victorsguitarinspirations]

I have a question: how do I see what genre “similar” successful artists have been categorized into in Spotify ? By that I mean strictly Spotify since there are so many genres missing. In my case I wonder what genre Spanish/ classical guitarists have been relegated to

[@s1Lash-s1Lash]

what can u suggest for me to use to attach simple image on wav file and upload on youtube so that music did not lose any quality? ( like if its 100mb it stays 100mb after converting it to mp4)

[@nhyira0]

I will be the biggest artiste on Spotify for some time to come 😮

[@Brandongames987]

Why is it not uploading in the final enhance settings??

[@victorsguitarinspirations]

Thank you sooooo much 🥹

[@gage.m626]

So what if we don’t have a record label?

[@thedawnamine]

YEH SAME QUESTION

[@f00Isquad]

You don't have to have one, you can make your own, example "f00lsquad" and there, it's not only your name, it's anything.

[@casperfjelde4072]

Why do you have to set The release date 3 weeks ahead of time?

[@lunatictheatre]

what plan from Distrokid are you using ? Basic or Plus ?

[@Rayaox]

thanks really useful!

[@PotatoWabby]

So just making sure, you don't have to pay to upload it to spotify or other things?

[@PotatoWabby]

Nevermind i can't do it, you have to pay for any plan on distrokid :(

[@jonathanlatulippe6301]

I think you have to pay for distro kid 20-40-80$ or any other distributor and then its free from there

[@MrJisan-sb6jb]

suggest me another distributor​@@jonathanlatulippe6301

[@QuinnHay-os2fx]

You have to pay monthly to distrokid, Either 2$ per month, 3$ or 7.5$

[@leneeey]

the most basil plan with distrokid is 2 dollars a month aprox !!

[@pecorinesensei3010]

Do i still need to download all the apps i want my music to get distributed? Please answer 😢

[@cosmic10000]

Why do you have to wait 3 weeks ? What has that to do with the algorithm ? Why not release it on the sam date as you filling that form ? ✌

[@simplexsmusic]

and will this make my profile just pop up middle of nowhere? haha since i cant make a profile before upload my song first ...

[@aurorapaniagua5560]

Can you cancel it after? Will it delete the songs you download it?

[@FishingwithSteveD]

What if you don't want to Gain money for this?

[@Longest_Mustard]

I’m not gonna give my fucking credit card ID just to make music when I can make it here for free and they’ll probably just use it on random shit so no

[@rongrong09]

is it free?

[@je3ndukie]

nah :(

[@RebelPulse]

Distrokid sounds suspicious af they say you keep 100% royalty which is a huge red flag, to begin with, everyone in the music business knows it takes money to make money.

all these so called help vids require u to already be a millionaire......it would be nice if u could say that at the start of the vid.... it just kind of saves people time.... u know all those reg people with reg lives so what I'm saying is if u have the money to distribute ur music then already richer than most upcoming artist anyway....... go on holiday
