When we take a release, each track can get two kinds of service. On the song you will see two toggles: Distribution and Publishing.
Distribution We deliver the recording to stores and streaming platforms (Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, and so on) and collect the streaming and download revenue. This is about the recording.
Publishing We manage the songwriting side: registering the work, collecting publishing royalties, and looking for sync (film, ads, video) and stock-licensing opportunities that can boost your streams. This is about the composition.
Both is our default Most tracks benefit from both, so both are on unless you turn one off. Keep at least one of the two on.
- If you turn distribution off, your current distributor must whitelist the track so we can still handle publishing. Only do this if you distribute this release elsewhere.
- If you turn publishing off, you may miss the sync and licensing opportunities we could find for you.
