Distribution 2

We pay within 15 days of receiving receipt of payment from our distribution partners.

We use Box.com as a data warehouse. Your digital sales reports are added to your folder once a month, typically on or before the 5th day of the month. The reports are provided as .XLS or .CSV file formats.

Audio: we require .WAV files according to the following specifications: 16 bit (sample size), 44.1 kHz (sample rate), 1411 kbps (bit rate) stereo .WAV files.

Image: Cover image files must be submitted according to the following specifications: 3,000 pixels by 3,000 pixels at 300 dpi (dots per inch). The image must also be presented in .JPG format.

In order for the stores to accept your artwork, it needs to meet several technical criteria:

-JPG
-Perfect square
-3000 x 3000 pixels preferred (absolutely no less than 2500 x 2500 pixels in size)
-Best quality RGB Color Mode (this includes black and white images)

We have a submission form for each distribution plan and, during the set-up process, you will be able to submit files from the form using Dropbox. If you don’t have a Dropbox account, you can simply provide a link to your files on any other cloud-based service. Just paste a link in the Comments section at the end of the sign-up form. You can also submit a ticket through our Help Desk.

To get started, simply decide upon a plan and click the “Get Started” button. That will lead you directly to the sign-up form. Once complete, you will be forwarded to the product page where you can add the product to your cart and complete the checkout process.

As a digital distributor, we have the opportunity to petition the editors at key digital retail sites in an attempt to obtain featured placement in prominent areas where customers browse for new content. Most stores have “New Music” sections which are prime targets for our efforts. We simply need to you to provide the appropriate information in order for us to pursue this option. There’s an opportunity for you to provide the necessary information during the sign up process. Ultimately, the decision is theirs to make but, if you provide the info, we’ll present your content for consideration.

Fades Away feature on iTunes

To ensure your music will appear on all stores by street date, present all materials 7-8 weeks prior to street date. Set your release date at least 3-4 weeks in advance to take advantage of iTunes pre-order. If you’re in a rush, we can typically get product up on the main stores (iTunes, AmazonMP3 and Google Play) within 3-4 days (excluding weekends and holidays). But, with rush releases, we can’t guarantee release dates.

All physical product must have a UPC on the packaging in order to be distributed. If you don’t have a physical UPC code on the packaging, we won’t be able to distribute the product.

We ask you to send us five (5) units via U.S. mail at the time you order service. We will stock your product on a consignment basis and pay you once we receive payment from customers. To encourage retailers to order the product, we don’t list product as “special order only.” So this increases the likelihood of returns. As such, we hold an ongoing 20% returns allowance to account for any potential returns.
