[@IAMLXGEND]

Just sharing some important info that not even I thought about initially. Hopefully to save people some headaches and money.

[@TheMilesOG]

this is an insanely well together breakdown man thank you so much, most videos only mention the subscription prices so showing that 5 year plan really opened my eyes.

After distributing music and upload it on you tube but not monetized channel even ads are played. can I earn through music ?

[@thabangadikgale461]

Very informative video, LxGEND. what is your view on Ditto music as I have noticed a few of your videos where you have used it?

[@IAMLXGEND]

Ditto has it's own set of features that may be useful to you. They have music publishing and sync licensing. Ditto also will not keep your music up if you cancel your subscription. It says on their site that while the takedown is not immediate because of the volume of music they process everyday, it will still happen at some point in the future.

[@ailispique1245]

Thank you! To release my first single and EP, would you recommend cd baby or landr? I just saw your other video recommending cd baby, maybe for the first time without budget its better, also is your discount code for that still active?

[@Dhanalakshmiartist]

Hi, brother can you say which one is best to distribute my music , with low budget with geniune platform to distribute music .... ? Waiting for your reply 😊❤

[@tharealSeanB]

Thanks for sharing. In the back of my mind I've considered switching and this kinda confirms I should. Distrokid is better than CD Baby which I started with years ago but LANDR looks like the longer term play now

[@IAMLXGEND]

I'll also say that LANDR offers way more creative tools for musicians to use which is a big reason why I've been with them even when I was still using distrokid.

[@Tiko-Life-Style]

It’s a good video 👍🏼👍🏼

[@mdrake36]

Thank you so much do very much I'm releasing my wife gospel single looking for better out there thx again

[@JeffersonClayMusic]

Great video! Curious if you know anything about this: I'm planning to migrate my releases from Distrokid to LANDR. I have one release, a joint single with another artist, with over half a million streams, he also uses Distrokid. Do you know if migrating that single might screw with things on the other artist's end? The single was "distributed" from my account, so when I inevitably deactivate my Distrokid account, I'm worried it'll pull the song down on his artist profile or screw with his royalties. Appreciate any advice!

[@IAMLXGEND]

your play count and stats won't be effected but I am not sure about how the royalties work. I know you can royalty share on LANDR but I'm unsure if you'd need to just re-establish who's getting the share of what on their end. As far as it pulling the song down on his profile, it won't pull the song from streaming platforms. That all stays the same so long as you make sure you do the transfer first and then delete on Distrokid's end. You may want to reach out to LANDR or have a look on their website for more clarification on this.

[@BrysonCole]

So do I need to sign up with landr first?

[@cyanopsiaartist]

Thanks for the informative video, man! Take care, love ya🩵 Stay Lxgendary

[@IAMLXGEND]

Always! I appreciate it.

[@EsSimouPROD]

Just One thing.how long ot takes to approve releases on LANDR when you migrate your music?

[@IAMLXGEND]

I'm not too sure, they may be something you'll want to reach out to them about. I am still in the process of getting my releases switched over (I haven't started yet).

[@keeppushin]

God is gonna bless you. This probably the best video of the year, thanks for this champ

[@IAMLXGEND]

Best of the year??? Lol that's saying a lot. But thank you! Glad you found it helpful.

[@VIRALBEATS360]

6:33 I realized this after releasing my 5th instrumental album, right when the annual bill became due. After doing the math, I decided to pull all of my music from Distrokid.

[@IAMLXGEND]

You don't notice until everything starts slowly adding up.

[@Bashanvibe]

I have a cover recording I did earlier this year I think it’s best I go to LANDOR!!!

[@abhsound9860]

Game!!

[@wvterloUtchi]

Yea Eff Distro im switching to land 😂💪🏾

Isn't the yearly fee on Landr 89,98$ after the first year discount though? Just wondering

[@ryde2012]

What about music videos? Does landr migrate music videos aswell that was uploaded through distrokid?

[@IAMLXGEND]

To my knowledge, LANDR does not distribute or migrate music videos.

[@jaydddot]

I think Tunecore offers a better deal, except the 'leave a legacy feature'

[@IAMLXGEND]

What specifically is the better deal?

[@jaydddot]

on tunecore the subscription fee is cheaper, free KZbin content i.d. I still agree Landr beats Tunecore only 'cause of that legacy feature though.

[@JohnDi252]

Hey are you still with them Landr By the way Nice vid.

[@IAMLXGEND]

Yes.

[@D.R.INITIAL]

Is It Better Than United Masters?

[@vitor_music]

I have 18 songs with distrokid and I had NO IDEA that that means having to pay forever or they remove my music. Just that factor alone makes LANDR more worth it... Thank you so much for the video!

[@altermoremusic]

You can easily move your catalog to LANDR 🤷🏻‍♂️ And than delete it from Distrokid. But they can't remove or free your music for 1 year after release.

[@IAMLXGEND]

They will only leave your stuff up if you pay the one-time legacy fee. that fee is the only one that isn't recurring. So technically you don't *have* to pay forever for them to keep it up. But you DO have to pay something. which is already more than LANDR as they do this for you for free.

[@IAMLXGEND]

Who can't, distrokid?

[@altermoremusic]

@@IAMLXGEND you delete my coment?

[@IAMLXGEND]

@@altermoremusic nope. I don’t delete comments unless they’re offensive or hateful / ignorant. It might’ve been auto filtered by KZbin. Idk.

[@bohemianweirdo4234]

bro not even to mention how hard distrokid makes it to ad lyrics and see youtube comments

[@Que_Reventon]

Hey, I didn't know any of this. educational videos Trump entertainment videos hands down.

[@IAMLXGEND]

As a creative person, I highly disagree. There is a time and place for both entertainment and educational. And often times in my case, both simultaneously.

[@Que_Reventon]

@@IAMLXGEND I could have stated that better. I was responding to something you said in the video, apologizing for the video not being entertaining, but I learned something today and that more than makes up for the video not being entertaining. Too bad we can't give 2 thumbs up. LOL

[@bigromuzic]

Cd baby 10$ a release

[@sivuyilemagutywa5286]

What about CDBABY?

[@IAMLXGEND]

I've already made a video speaking about CD Baby and many other distributors.

[@MattRichardsEsq]

LANDR adds tax to that annual fee. Plus, the $44 is only for the first year. It doubles the following year. Just something to be aware of.

[@IAMLXGEND]

Even if this is the case, it's still going to be far cheaper than Distrokid which only gets more expensive the more you release.

[@Esnalovesmusic]

AMUSE is the best distribution platform

[@eXpas04]

Buddy what's with that 90degree cam angle xdddd

[@IAMLXGEND]

It's a 90 degree cam angle. That's what's with it.

[@terrencecruel4025]

What about CDBABY

[@IAMLXGEND]

I made a video talking about CD Baby here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3abqYemqM2NeK8si=AMOCbVYqS9NMUOdF They’ve got their own perks and pricing so it just really depends on what you want out of a distribution company at a reasonable price.

[@DarkoP9.13]

Next up: Landr Exposed: Terms Of Service… (Don’t Sign Up Before You Watch!) from Top Music attorney

[@AFLive]

I'm on that Landr Pro 149 Unlimited everything, so why they LIMITING my album to Next month only after 3 albums ?? " • Oops! You've reached our monthly fair usage limit. Please wait until next month to submit more releases. "

[@IAMLXGEND]

they state in their policy you can release 30 songs within a 30 day period. Seems like you’re trying to release more than 30 songs within 30 days.

[@AFLive]

@@IAMLXGEND I released 3 Eps with six songs each. . that's only 18 songs. + if that's the case, THATS NOT UNLIMITED in which we paying for.

[@IAMLXGEND]

@AFLive that’s not including however many tracks you were trying to release currently. So if your next project(s) had more than 12 songs then you would’ve crossed that threshold. It is entirely your responsibility to read the policy and terms of service BEFORE paying for the subscription you’re getting yourself into so that you are aware of these “rules” in place.

[@AFLive]

@@IAMLXGEND We'll see what they say , cause I'm reading it's under their discretion. . and I left them a Nice snapshot where it says UNLIMITED DISTRIBUTION. don't put that if that's not the case, I never had that problem with Distrokid. There You could upload as much as want, but they have they own problems.

[@SMG5RO.Music.]

7:02 do i gotta keep my distrokid subscription up till they migrate my music or can i just cancel it straight away?

[@IAMLXGEND]

I’d say wait to be sure

[@pimplove]

Amazing how no one talks about the money they make back... how else will we know if its worth it

[@IAMLXGEND]

The money you make back has nothing to do with the platforms themselves unless the platforms take a percentage of your streams. Neither LANDR nor Distrokid take a percentage from the revenue you earn in your streams. So money made back would be exactly the same for both as the streaming services are responsible for how much you get paid. Distribution companies are just distribution companies. They do not dictate how much you earn for each stream aside from if they took a percentage.

[@OscarMakamuNaMajuvaniSisters]

Distrokid can Approve your release within 24hrs😅

[@IAMLXGEND]

If that's worth the extra $1200 over 5 years to you then by all means! I've had no issues with LANDR getting my last minute releases approved but this shouldn't even be how you put your stuff out anyway. Typically you want to have 3+ weeks prior to release.

[@altermoremusic]

LANDR approved my latest releases in 2-4 hours 🤷🏻‍♂️ And I choose 2 weeks before release but tracks arrive on platforms in 3+ days 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@CamboKing47]

Distrokid Remove Your Song and money. When Your Song Rejected by store 💀 I lost 1000$ + 🥲

[@gocku837]
