Welcome 🙏

[@newyorknight2013]

In the beginning when Miley’s song was shown there were sync lyrics by every word. Is someone know how it possible to do this? 👀🤔

[@JohnPaulMusicUK]

For Distrokid at the moment, its line by line.

[@newyorknight2013]

@@JohnPaulMusicUK I guess it's unknown, right? I thought at the moment only big labels can do this.

[@BigMouthHouse]

Guys please help me because my lyrics still are not online and i did exactly every step. I tried also to find a solution with distrokid bot, but it has been useless

[@arthur_canet]

yeah the same

[@SS-wd5sg]

Same

[@Bop13Music]

How do you add karaoke lyrics?

[@JohnPaulMusicUK]

So you mean moving in time lyrics? Once your basic lyrics have been added, go back in and you will see an option for ‘Synced Lyrics’. You need to have the options for lyric blaster with DistroKid as well.

[@ChristopherWConvery]

On most professional artists between verses there’s like a music note symbol to indicate instrumental parts, how do you do this via distro

[@franc80]

I uploaded and synced my lyrics but they don’t seem to be on streaming services it’s been a few weeks

[@JohnPaulMusicUK]

Get in contact with DistroKid Support. Have a look at this article for them and you need to make sure you have Lyric Blaster - support.distrokid.com/hc/en-us/sections/360006466673-Lyrics

[@IAMHirenderSinghh]

if i have the cheapest plan on distrokid, musician one can i use this sync feature?

[@JohnPaulMusicUK]

You can add lyrics on any tariff but if you want synced lyrics where they play in time on Apple Music and sportily, you need the musicians plus tier. Have a look at Distrokid’s support page about this here: support.distrokid.com/hc/en-us/sections/360006466673-Lyrics

[@TheSpot200]

Which platforms does it go on? Is it on Apple Music or can it also be YT music and Spotify?

[@JohnPaulMusicUK]

More info about lyrics and the platforms can be found here: support.distrokid.com/hc/en-us/sections/360006466673-Lyrics

[@lifeinthespiritt.v1402]

Do they create a Spotify account for you ?? Or you have to create an account first on all them platforms??

[@JohnPaulMusicUK]

They don’t create one for you but if you go to DistroKid on a computer and login, there is a menu bar, on there look for ‘special access’ and it has the spotify for artists link there. 👍🏻 😊

[@PARASAIL_WZ]

both boxes are ticked for me but my song dropped and there is none does it cost money for spotify or is it free?

[@JohnPaulMusicUK]

For Spotify specifically, you need to use Lyric Blaster - check this out - support.distrokid.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039436194-Where-will-my-Lyrics-show-up-

[@WhitsNoff]

Gm sir I’m looking for some one to help walk me through distro kid- do you do zoom

[@JohnPaulMusicUK]

[@PamelaFom]

On Spotify it doesn't work eitheron Instagram. Do you know why?

[@JohnPaulMusicUK]

You need to opt into Lyric Blaster for Spotify, Instagram and more. This is directly from DistroKid in their FAQ section: “DistroKid sends your lyrics to Apple Music KZbin Music LyricFind Google Search Results and more. You can also opt into Lyric Blaster to submit synced lyrics to Spotify, TIDAL, Instagram and Facebook! To get synced lyrics, opt into Lyric Blaster today by logging in and submitting plain lyrics for your release. Note: It may take up to 1-2 weeks for your lyrics to show up in services.” Hope this helps. 👍🏻

[@VannxssaOFFCIAL]

My sync button disappears when I let go of it and It dosent come back i dont know what to do😭

[@JohnPaulMusicUK]

If your trying to do it on mobile or tablet then this might happen, I would suggest making sure your on a pc or Mac. If you are on a computer and it keeps happening then delete cookies and browse history and try again.
