[@deshmukhshrut]

Ability to keep music forever in stores is most underrated one, everyone should talk about it atleast once in every review and comparisons.

[@trodvictory]

Cdbaby is by far the best. I'm not changing it. You pay once and your music lives forever even when you're dead.

[@germwarfare5707]

Yea Cdbaby is pretty good. 💯

[@BuuERadley]

And you don't have to pay Al Acarte for stuff that it's competitors automatically include. Pisstrokid has truly brainwashed ppl

[@darealbr5990]

are they reliable beacause i see a lot of videos on other music distros saying they didn't pay or is a scam?

[@germwarfare5707]

@@darealbr5990 They are pretty good. They will cut you a check or send your royalties to your account direct deposit. 💯

onerpm u dont pay nothing. and its there forever. and the service is pretty good

[@MrBigo27]

One thing about CD Baby that is not mentioned, Is that CD Baby have sales quarterly where you can your albums half off. I usually purchase our singles/ albums in advance when it is half off.

[@eanotsport]

So they have sales for distribution, as in it costs less to upload at a certain time of the year? When do they have these?

[@MrBigo27]

@@eanotsport Tney usually have these promotions about 2 to 4 times a year. I just go my artist next song distributed for 4.99. Not bad for permanent distribution. I usually wait until the promos and pay for the single distribution, even if I don’t have a song ready. I just keep moving the release date out until our song is ready.

[@robertojefferson3428]

@@MrBigo27 yep it's 5 bucks for album or single right now or 30 for pro

[@MrBigo27]

@@robertojefferson3428 I have got my our next three releases paid for, and we have not recorded the songs yet.

[@robertojefferson3428]

@@MrBigo27 smart way to do it with the promo. At 5 bucks there is no sense going with anyone else lol A one time 5 bucks and lifetime 9% I can live with ha ha

[@lilcaldoverde]

I seen Anti-Joy Distributor, apparently it's 20$ per year to use their service. If you want your songs to stay even after cancelation it's 9$ - single, 29$ - album And you can keep 100% of your royalties. Is this a good deal?

[@DPSMpianist]

Thanks for elaborating the comparison. I like your enthusiasm.

[@ALKADEEM317]

its really about what your looking for i think for an artist like me who have songs in the vault ready for the world to hear and have never distributed music before TuneCore is the way to go and once they get split pay it'll be even better (only thing they're missing is the ability to keep your music in stores forever), Distrokid would be great if they didn't upcharge and charge annually for content ID but they're second at least for an new artist like me who just wants their music out and collecting royalties, CDBaby i think is the next best option after but with no split pay, 30% revenue for content ID, fees for Upc codes and 9% of all revenue its definitely not what you should start with (at least i think so) but your really paying 9% to have your music in stores forever but that's something to consider later down the line and compared to the rest OneRpm sucks. Great Video keep up the work.

[@robertojefferson3428]

It's kind of the opposite man. 9 % is nothing to an artist just starting out with low stream counts and fan bases where as $50 a year is a lot. An artist doing tons of streams on every drop will pay much more to cd baby but an artist that's just starting out will pay much more to tune core.

[@thachosenone32]

Thank you for always providing precise clarity and you’re always updating the information. So you are appreciated brotha!

[@Payusnomind]

No problem bro.

[@keynotez]

I use ONErpm and it was great until now you need exclusive license to release certain tracks. They’re confusing one minute they let a track slide through the next they send me notification saying I can’t upload .

[@lilelvinjmusic]

Should i change from distrokid to tunecore

[@Payusnomind]

I would

[@lilelvinjmusic]

Ok my last question, can i use songtrust with registration with any pro

[@Frapucheno]

@@lilelvinjmusic I think so yea people usually combine songtrust with a pro to be sure

Would love to hear your thoughts on Amuse. Recently had some trouble with distrokid so I'm looking to switch to something else that can be reliable

[@trinalykes]

Can you share what you encountered with Distrokid?

[@TracertOfficial]

Can you share your experience

[@gentertainment3131]

I also to hear

[@Back313]

I’m going with amuse 🎶

[@MrBigo27]

Basically when you add everything up, there is not that much difference in these distributors. It just what you are comfortable with. I like CD baby because they go live all the time and you can ask questions often, plus with the other services, and they pay weekly direct deposit.

[@Frapucheno]

So does Tunecore

[@Zalva10]

No, customer support plays a huge part in this distributors.

[@chibuezedikesongs]

Which do you suggest for me, Tunecore or Onerpm???

[@Payusnomind]

I can't make a recommendation on a digital distributor without knowing anything about your objectives. It's all about what you're trying to accomplish. Might be an entirely different company that will work best for you. This is why I offer consultation, there are lots of things to consider and making the wrong choice could leave you trapped in a really bad situation. What artists don't really recognize is that these are recording contracts they're signing with these companies and I think I might be like the only person that actually reads through the terms and understands them. If you want a generic answer, I can say Tunecore. It's the best option for a lot of artists, is the best for you? I don't know.

[@chibuezedikesongs]

@@Payusnomind thank you so much, I think I will go for Tunecore then. I was previously planning on going for onerpm as an upcoming act (coz I needed a platform where my projects will not be taken down because of yearly subscription), but lemme give Tunecore a shot...

[@Justeatingforfun]

You did this the best way i have seen so far, thank you.

[@Payusnomind]

Thank you. Appreciate you saying nice things.

[@johnmknox]

This is very useful thanks! It would be interesting to know how Ditto stacks up against them for costs. If you are looking at it from purely a cost perspective Tunecore seems to come out on top. I guess for some people though paying more for others distributors might be a bigger benefit depending on the value and service they get from that.

[@Zalva10]

TuneCore is the worst when it comes to customers support. They either take years to contact you back or they never do. And when they do they don't even help you.

[@Payusnomind]

Hasn’t been my experience. I don’t know what the issue was with your situation so I can’t speak on that. What I can say is that sometimes reps can suck, they’re people, sometimes people are bad at their jobs. Every company has people that aren’t great at their jobs. They get fired after that’s been discovered but the damage has been done. Additionally, sometimes it’s how an issue is communicated. Like looking something up on Google, if you’re asking the question the wrong way, it’ll be harder to find the right result.

[@inhousekillaproductions]

I'm thinking of starting off with amuse it's free and gives you 100% royalties and then take the money I make and invest into the paid plan or going to another distribution service or use two at once. I don't know this is my first time doing this.

[@MrBigo27]

One thing I will say, is these are probably the top 4, that is not invite only.

[@Payusnomind]

The invite only thing is BS. They all take a percentage & just want to make sure you’re making money so they can make money off of you. They don’t do anything more than these distributors do unless you’re at a point where you don’t even need their support. It’s so wack.

[@bkmusic5832]

I really enjoy your videos. They are super-informative. After watching your video from last year: "Best Distributor For Music #2: Why I Say It's Ditto", I'm leaning towards Ditto because of their $20 annual fee, unlimited music, large number of stores, and no fee for content ID and I keep 100% of that revenue. However, I'm seeing a number of warnings online to stay away from Ditto. What are your thoughts?

[@Payusnomind]

It's all about your appetite for risk. A lot of artists that use Ditto and Distrokid care most about saving money at the expense of everything else. The safest bet is Tunecore.

[@bkmusic5832]

@@Payusnomind Cool. Thank you!!

[@MrBigo27]

I don’t know much about Ditto, but of all the distributors, I have heard the worst reviews from that company.

[@MusicManFernando]

Can you record cover songs without owning copyrights and stream them and get paid??

[@adzaavictoraster]

Please how can i get my artist channel using Amuse distributor

[@BrysonCole]

Can you make a video on how to bring your catalog from Distrokid to Tunecore

[@jakdanyalradio]

I think their placement is already in order from lef to right best to worst

Should also consider that tunecore only has 1 artist profile unless ull choose 49.99 option (and still costs 14.99$ per artist). Onerpm has unlimited artists which is really good. Distrokid can also do multiple (depending on what u subscribe).

[@Payusnomind]

Should also consider that 15% of revenue from streams & sales + 30% of revenue from Content ID Onerpm takes. Then consider that $7.95 per release per year for new stores + $14.95 per release per year for Content ID + $0.99 per release per year for music discovery programs on top of an annual fee that Distrokid charges.

[@davidgrabenschroer2236]

Is there a new 20% off coupon by chance for TuneCore

[@chrisdoninzane]

this is what I like to hear your opinion about this distributors

[@retro.hits1]

TuneCore customer service is terrible. My songs were failed to release and I sent them email multiple times. It's been almost a week now but still got no answers and my songs are just sitting their website rejected.

[@Salobra-Oficial]

Thanks a lot for the information and the CDbaby cupom!

[@goje]

From what I've heard, if you are with TuneCore and you want to collaborate with someone, you must be on the highest tier and pay the extra $15 a year per artist. Is this true?

[@lilelvinjmusic]

Hello can i get discount on the label plan also

[@mhaluuun93]

so w Tunecore… If I release 3 albums in a year, I’d be paying $89.97/year ? what if I upload another album a year after that? does that mean I’ll be paying $119.96/year ?

[@Payusnomind]

No, it's not a per album fee, it's a flat annual fee for unlimited distribution.

[@alexzehnmusik]

I haven't use any of these bit i think cd baby is the best

[@GabrielAngelfire]

So, about the Legacy thing, where your music stays forever. OneRpm and CdBaby have it by default, since it doesn't depend on subsequent payments to stay on. DistroKid sucks, yeah, but the way the Legacy works is that your stuff stays "as is at the moment". It won't add new features, stores or anything. and if I'm not mistaken, it will remove the Content ID and Shazam after the first missed payment. But it'll stay on the streaming services it was at the moment. Now, Tunecore, unless you have people to eternally pay it for you, it will be taken down, so you better have a long trustworthy generation of family members to keep paying. Obviously, disregard this if it doesn't matter to you. If you just wanna have some fun and not worry about leaving your music on after you're long gone, then this is not a problem. So take into consideration how much it means to you.

[@drinkinslim]

[@Payusnomind]

I can see why. Some artists are really uneasy about the idea of, effectively, renting distribution. CD Baby's fees are like a peace of mind tax.

[@mfyrisingmayo1913]

Cdbaby is actually the cheapest in the long run

[@Payusnomind]

@@mfyrisingmayo1913 I'm intrigued. How so?

[@Frapucheno]

@@Payusnomind If it was albums only then you'd have like 4 or 5 life post maxed at $350 and you'd make an infinite amount after tunecore and such with annual fee's over the years will pass $350 so yeah overtime cd baby is the cheaper option but id still go with tunecore to avoid the 9%

[@MrBigo27]

@@mfyrisingmayo1913 I think it depends on how much you release music. With Tunecore new pricing change, that was game changer. While I didn’t switch yet, but it is making me reevaluate some options.
