    i moved my songs to antijoy about 3 months ago. And 2-3 weeks later i got 1 copyright strike. Since i was remixing, it was normal for something like this to happen. they gave no information about copyright strike, they removed all my songs. And when i asked if i would get paid, they said i would, but they could pay after 3 months. i have been waiting for payment from them for 3-5 days and today they said that they will not pay me, they confiscated my money. i asked 2 times and they said they would pay in all of them. When i asked for the e-mail address of the person who sent the copyright strike, they said they could not give it to me and deleted it. Finally, when i objected again, they banned me. They stole my subscription fee, my money. When i showed the e-mail saying that they would pay, he said that it was not important, the e-mail was unimportant. Although he is a founder, he does not know the terms, he does not know how to act.

    I recommend - DistroKid.

  • How lucky/laid off
    There are lots of places where all you have to do is upload your music, and the website will distribute/release it across a ton of platforms (Youtube, Spotify, Amazon Music, Apple Music etc.) I've used a place called DistroKid to do it, but there are a few others out there that do the same kind of deal.

  • Can someone walk me through the issues i’m dealing with? 15s video is linked showing the issue, as it is difficult to describe in text. Thanks in advance.
    Have you tried opening https://distrokid.com in a new tab or the iOS app? Or tried opening it on a computer instead of a phone? DistroKid’s website isn’t really set up very well for phone use when you need to set up your account or upload music. Source: 11 months ago
  • Where would the first place the new song would be released?
    I’m checking with Dashon again today to see if he knows why the song isn’t on YouTube or Spotify yet, but it’s all up to https://distrokid.com/ at this point. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Making money on Sporify with AI?
    Then you can upload it using ( https://distrokid.com/ ). You can create mixes on youtube or Spotify and make some passive income. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Weird question about Spotify and Soundcloud.
    I recommend looking into a service called Distrokid that serves as a publishing house for independent musicians/bands. As you've probably read about, publishing is the crux of many tragic stories among songwriters and bands. Distrokid is one of a few service providers that streamlines the rights management and distribution of original material to the major platforms and streaming services. If you've recorded...

  • Just a heads up that you can't downgrade your DistroKid account nor re-use your email for a new account. You're locked into your subscription price which includes what you need to pay to collect royalties.
    I'm currently eyeing Anti-Joy which operates on a similar model as DistroKid, just better value. The downside is they're very new but the founder is active and responsive on Reddit. They feel like how DistroKid was ~5 years ago before it became increasingly difficult to get in touch with a human. Source: over 1 year ago
  • What music distribution service are you using?
    You should check out Anti-Joy. We offer unlimited music distribution for just $7.99 per year. We also have extra features like AI mastering, pre-save links, fast distribution, amazing support, etc. It's the best Distrokid alternative. You'll love it. Source: over 2 years ago
