Okay guy's, the key word for today is "RIGHT"

[@MattRichardsEsq]

$10 per year to keep an album online on the premium tier is still much better than the $50 a year you have to pay Tunecore. And, if sales drop low, you can switch back to the free tier.

[@poeticpoetreas8330]

I am still learning about music production and this video and other domments are really helpful! Thanks everyone 😊

[@veridianclub]

We've been with Routenote for 12 years and I feel like its worth leaving this piece of info here: Percentages work better than fees because if you win, THEY win (with percentages). With fees they dont have a stake to push your music because they have that fee coming in at the beginning of the month no questions asked, so it's kind of like a "trust" thing, and as a business data trumps "trust". We actually dont understand how they get away with that business model. Things to think about.

[@frostagrath]

Thank you for this video, that's what i was searching for over KZbin actually, i am super glade that i clicked on your video, keep up your great work man ;)

[@giddynun]

Could I upload my EP on amuse and all the stores that aren’t available on Amuse could I upload them on route note to the rest of the stores without any problems?

[@Payusnomind]

Yeah, you could do that. Makes it harder to keep track of royalties and spot when streams and sales are being under-reported but other than that, you're ok.

[@lakshya3277]

@@Payusnomind Imagine I upload a track using Onerpm but there are a few stores I still want to upload..and I use Routenote...and I upload the same track,in that case will the same track be uploaded to our artist page twice or will Routenote check and then upload to other platforms where it has not been uploaded to? And will there be any confusion or misleading in that case?

[@WojciechKobus]

Hi! Does RouteNote allow to publish EPs and LPs (seen as albums on Spotify) with free plan or only with paid plan I can do it?

[@5aumit]

how long do they take to get stuff on apple music? its been almost a month since i applied my song for release but it has only been put up on spotify till now

[@BackwardsGrass]

Sometimes it only takes 2-3 weeks

[@tomdandymusicandeverythingelse]

What about sending my music directly to the radio station???

[@teclafacil3517]

Hello. What happens if I join the Routenote Premium plan and the following year I decide not to continue with this plan and not pay, what happens to my songs, they will be removed from the digital platforms just like in distrokid?

[@SILINCEO]

Technically, you will be moved to the free plan. Every feature that you get with premium will be disabled but with RouteNote even on the free version you have all the store I think. Hope I helped you

[@SILINCEO]

so the song will still be out I think. That’s the good thing about free distributors that got a premium plan

[@finlaypawson9035]

If I want to leave after say 6 months - will my songs be taken off? Do I need to re release them with my new distributor

[@Payusnomind]

If you don't want your songs to be removed, they won't. It's not like a job where you have to give a weeks notice or something. When you don't want to use them anymore, you stop using them to distribute your new releases. I have accounts with multiple distributors from CD Baby to ONErpm, and Amuse. There only needs to be a formal notice if there's some type of exclusive agreement and Routenote is non-exclusive.

[@shanzaalikhansupportteam2078]

Thank u for being their i am your huge fan and you have proved a great support for me in learning new things ,i have a questions plz if you could help me 1. What if I want to monetize my youtube by myself? Will they remove their claim from my music video? Do they have whitelist for youtube?

From their Website: "All you need to do is contact our support team on [e-mail] with your channel ID, they will whitelist your channel for you"

U mean compilation? Routenote does

[@krossofficial]

with routenote how do i handle my taxes?

[@wishonmusic1]

Hello! Do I need a Tax Identification Number for Routenote? This tax thing is really important especially because some distributors such as Distrokid holds 30% from Non- US citizens.

[@REAL6]

That's crazy for non us

[@REAL6]

But what if you are a us citizen but live in Europe?

[@mhmright]

they dont withhold taxes

[@CMTHQ]

my question is how do they put it in a account to make music do they preset a account named you're artist name because i never put a link in to tell them what spotify or what account to put it on that's my question

Does anyone know how I can clame my KZbin account after routenote released my song ? I doesn't find any informations about it anywhere :D:D

[@Payusnomind]

Your distributor releases your song on what's called a "Topic Channel" which is owned and controlled by KZbin. It's not something you'll ever have access to. You have to create a KZbin channel. If you want to know more about the different ways your videos are added to KZbin, this guide will help a lot: punm-alt.lnk.to/AAUarRQdYo

[@JozifiedManik]

You could send them an email and ask them to link your topic channel with your personal KZbin channel.

[@mlbbgameplay3565]

wait until the song is released and they will send you the links through email. in one of them is the link for the artist profile.

It's good if your band releases are not that popular because it won't cost you for the releases to be forever available for streaming.

[@bradley5800]

So when your money goes to PayPal do they take another percent of your money or do you pay them that percentage I know that you can post your music for free on routenote but he said something about them charging you when they apply it to your paypal Please answer if you know

[@Payusnomind]

Yeah, there's a transaction fee when they send money to your Paypal. When I reached about it, they didn't volunteer that information. All they said was that they pay a percentage of it so you're not responsible for the full Paypal fee but they didn't say exactly what percentage they pay. Paypal charges 2.9% + 30¢ per transaction

[@bradley5800]

Oh so there's a fee for your music (15% one), there's the 2.9% one and another one for them basically bringing it there?

[@brandobal]

@@DonJamieBeatz the RouteNote Moderation Team says that it would only take 24-72 hours (3 days) for your song to be approved for distribution. But my releases took about 1 week before it got approved. You can always e-mail them when you releases' status didn't change after 3 days and they will immediately take action. Just like what happened today, it's been a week since I sent them my release but I e-mailed them yesterday and right after an hour it's approved hahaha

Dude, it’s so confusing! I’ve watched your videos comparing DK, Tunecore, cdbaby, and now Routenote. Who should I choose?? For every good thing one of these companies has there are negatives as well. No one seems to have it all across-the-board. It does seem like DK is the most popular right now. There’s a guy on KZbin saying that One Rpm is the best currently. I don’t like that they take 15%

[@SherwayneMusicProductions]

Lol😅🤣🤣🤣

im on the same boat. currently looking to switch from distrokid. they are not too great when you get into the finer details, shady company. Ive heard tunecore is best but this one seems good if you are a smaller artist.

Ali Elseaidy So many people seem to say that DK is shady and yet they’re the most popular distributor of all. I don’t get it? In regard to Tunecore, Jeff Price the former CEO is now touting DK

[@yomama503]

S. Raphael I think it’s because they have so much money they can pay influencers like curtissking and djpain1 to make them look good because independent artists trust influencer producers like those ones who get paid by DK to make ads.
