DistroKid Back In the News
We at Songpreneurs have been using DistroKid for our online music distributor since Derek Sivers sold CD Baby many years ago, after a short stint at TuneCore and an experiment with SoundCloud.
There have been several news stories about DistroKid in recent months including a lawsuit claiming they are responsible for a bunch of streaming fraud and AI slop.
The truth is that DistroKid is by far the cheapest and quickest distributor to get your tunes on Spotify, Amazon Music, Apple and the rest, and the bad actors know that as well as the good.
The latest headline is a partnership where DistroKid is allowing their users to opt in to royalty administration using Kobalt.
Seems a perfect fit for unsigned independent songwriter / artists that want to make sure they're claiming their publishing shares, without all the bother of having to know how to do it yourself, and without having to meet the pro admin thresholds (more than $10,000 per year in publishing royalties) to land your own admin agreement.
Looks like a good move for the 'Kid. What do you think?
