How do I move my music to RouteNote from DistroKid?

By Jacca-RouteNoteDecember 7, 20235 mins read

If you’re looking to move your music to RouteNote for free distribution or our unbeatable Premium prices then thankfully you can, easily.

We pride ourselves on making music distribution easy and painless for artists everywhere and of every size. If you’re looking to switch from another distributor like DistroKid to RouteNote, we have some tips on how you can make that transfer as easy as possible too.

Re-upload your music

First of all, re-upload your music with RouteNote. Ensure that you use the same audio data, UPCs, and ISRCs to keep your streaming data. Once your music has gone live you can check to make sure that the track-linking has worked. This ensures that your fans keep your tracks in their favourites and playlists, whilst also ensuring your songs don’t lose their streaming data.

Choose the music distribution plan that suits you

We offer two types of distribution so that all artists can work out the plan that suits them best, because we want everyone to upload their music on their own terms.

Free Distribution offers unlimited distribution to all of our partners at no cost. You keep 85% of all of the earnings you make and can come and go at any time.

Premium Distribution is our paid offering. For a small upfront cost, you can distribute any of your releases worldwide and keep 100% of the revenues your music makes in all stores. It’s only $9.99 after a year to keep your release live on Premium.

You can switch between Free and Premium at any time.

  Hi Rikori, yes we can upload classical releases to Apple Music and you’ll have the option to input your UPC and ISRCs on upload.

Question, I was transferring a couple of songs over & I was able to use my UPC code from my original release but I was not allowed to use the same isrc because it said it already gathered that information & makes me use a new isrc with the same upc code. Will this effect my stats being transferred over?

  Hi Riza, if you have the same UPC then stores should recognise your release and apply the streaming data they have stored for your release. Assuming your release has the same metadata as before as well then stores are pretty much guaranteed to be able to recognise your release and add the appropriate data.
