Distribution problems usually start before the upload.
Most independent artists treat distribution as a final step — upload the files, pick a date, and move on.
But small mistakes at this stage can create long-term issues that are hard to undo.​
Metadata errors, timing misalignment, incorrect credits, or rushing the process can affect discoverability, ownership clarity, and future releases.
Distribution isn't hard – but doing it carelessly can cost you later.
What proper distribution actually means
Proper distribution is about accuracy, alignment, and foresight — not speed.
It ensures your release is set up correctly across platforms so ownership, credits, timing, and visibility all work together.
It’s not just uploading files.
It’s not just selecting platforms.
And it’s not about rushing to release.​
It’s about setting your catalog up to last.
Proper distribution considers things like:
​
Accurate metadata and credits
Release timing and availability
Ownership and rights clarity
Platform-specific requirements
Long-term catalog consistency
When distribution is handled correctly, every future release becomes easier — not harder.
