RouteNote now supports mechanical licence uploads for cover songs
You can now attach mechanical licences directly to releases on RouteNote, making cover distribution seamless.
Cover songs are a great way to put your own spin on an old classic and find a whole new audience along the way. With RouteNote it’s easy to share your cover songs around the world. Now, with our first feature launch of the year, we’ve just made it even easier to distribute covers. Whether you’re distributing with a mechanical licence or not, RouteNote will guide you through the process.
While you don’t need a mechanical licence to distribute cover songs with RouteNote, it will allow you to distribute to more stores around the world. See more details here.
What’s new?
When creating a release on RouteNote, a new tick box asks whether your release contains any cover songs.
If you tick yes on the option above, when you’re entering track details, simply select which tracks are covers. From here you can also upload a mechanical licence for each cover. Mechanical licences must be in PDF format and under 10MB. If you upload a mechanical licence, our moderation team will see it alongside your release.
If you do upload a mechanical licence, your release will be sent to all of your selected stores in all territories around the world. If your release is a cover version, but you don’t upload a mechanical licence, your release may need to be blocked in certain stores/territories. Find more details here.
To distribute your releases to all stores around the world, buy mechanical licenses at industry-leading prices from Affordable Song Licensing.
