I wanted to know: What's the best distro service for my music?
I've been using the same music distribution service for years. I figured it was time to see what the others were like.
I don't even remember why I chose the one I use? But I've been distributing music from a service called OneRPM to all the streaming platforms for years.
It's been fine. They take a percentage instead of an upfront cost for singles and albums.
BUT recently they made the distribution to YouTube mandatory. And that's a problem for me because I sell my own music to YouTube Gamers and Vloggers so they can use it.
So I'm looking into switching and I thought I would see what other people are saying about the distro services they like.

Here are some responses from Twitter about what is the best music distro service:
As an artist releasing music, if you get any sort of record / pub deal or signup for a distro service, at least read that contract. Don’t be so naive to think everybody had your best interests in mind.

Although I would say this feature from Distrokid is pretty interesting
I'm excited to announce... ππ Starting today, DistroKid members can upload looping videos to Spotify, that play when someone listens to your song. Info here: https://t.co/CaBQ8LnSmq π Enjoy
