Music distribution FAQs
Your music.
Your questions, answered.
From uploading a song to choosing a distributor, get the details you need for your next release.
How do I put my song on Spotify or Apple Music?
Create your eMastered account, choose a distribution plan, and start a new release. Upload your audio, cover art, artist information, and release details, then select Spotify, Apple Music, and any other supported platforms. We review your submission and deliver approved releases for platform processing.
Can I distribute music to all major platforms with one upload?
You can send the same release to multiple supported services, including Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, TikTok, YouTube Music, and TIDAL. Choose your destinations when you submit. Availability can vary by plan and region; check the platform list for your release.
Do I keep ownership of my music and my royalties?
Yes. You keep ownership of your music and 100% of your streaming and download royalties. See royalty details.
Do I need to master my music with eMastered first?
No. You can distribute your finished recordings directly, wherever they were recorded or mastered. AI Mastering is an optional Studio tool, and using it is never required to release with eMastered Distribution.
Can I switch from DistroKid, UnitedMasters, or Ditto Music?
Yes, you can distribute recordings that were previously released through another distributor. Follow our guide to switching distributors.
What do I need to release a single, EP, or album?
Prepare your finished audio, cover artwork, artist information, and release details. You need the rights to distribute your music. WAV, FLAC, and MP3 files are supported; lossless audio is recommended.
How long does it take for my music to go live?
Your release moves fast—sometimes in hours, sometimes in days, depending on each platform’s processing. Timing varies, so submit ahead of your planned release date and leave time for any corrections. Check our release timeline guide before scheduling your launch.
