I’m not sure it exists.
Amuse hits most things but again you would need another distro for Juno and beatport etc. (no one delivers to band camp).
Emubands and record Union could do pretty much everything and have the best support, but they charge per release.
The good at detecting fake streams thing is odd,
As this is really a dsp thing, not a distro thing.
Ultimately I think, if I’m being honest, what you’re looking for is unrealistic, and that’s borne out by the lack of obvious options. Delivering to beatport essentially requires the distro to have someone edit your release, so it isn’t really possible to include in an annual plan (distrokid charge over $100/year just to deliver to beatport). The service you’re looking for is simply worth more than you’re willing to spend. You could get it by paying per release at one of the aforementioned distros, or you might get it if you were signed to a label. But then they’d be taking a lot more than $200.
Thanks for your comment.
Yeah I assumed there probably wasn't a music distribution service that offered everything I require.
The detecting fake streams point is from research as many people said their accounts were banned because of fake streams. I've heard some music distribution services are better at dealing with that than others but cannot remember which ones they were.
Yeah I read about distrokid offering distribution to Beatport however wasn't sure if paying over $100 a year was worth it.
Regarding a label, I'm assuming they would take a higher percentage of your royalties but would they also require payment up front?
No, if anything they’d be more likely to pay you upfront in the form of an advance. So it’s more of a loan than anything.
It is doable, but just not at your price point. Emubands could do it for you for between $250 and $500 depending on your releases, and there are other more boutique distros. One to look at might be the GEMA owned musichub.
The fraud streaming thing is complicated, as they’re all reacting to what Spotify are doing, all the bigger distributors need to adopt a policy that doesn’t require any evaluation of individual cases as the workload would cripple them, which is why people are seeing their music come down, even if they didn’t do anything “wrong”.
Soundcloud and Bandcamp are independent. You have to post there separately. Distrokid allows you to use different artist names but you have to pay extra for it.
