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... 🚀🚀 Starting today, DistroKid members can upload looping videos to Spotify, that play when someone listens to your song. Info here: https://t.co/CaBQ8LnSmq 🙌 Enjoy
