FAQ
Will I lose my existing streams when changing distributors?
I will help check your existing release identifiers and metadata to reduce avoidable matching problems. However, streaming platforms control how stream counts, playlists, and release histories are handled, so preservation cannot be guaranteed.
What if I cannot find my original ISRC or UPC codes?
I can help identify where the codes may be available in your existing distributor records. Missing identifiers will be documented, and we can determine the appropriate next steps before proceeding.
Can you migrate music between different distributors?
Yes, I can assist with supported migration workflows between platforms such as DistroKid, TuneCore, CD Baby, and Ditto, depending on the specific requirements and available access.
How do you prevent duplicate releases or incorrect metadata?
I compare available release information, including artist names, track titles, ISRCs, UPCs, and release dates. I document discrepancies and help prepare a consistent migration record before submission.
When should I remove my releases from the old distributor?
Timing depends on the distributors involved and the status of your releases. I can help create a migration checklist so you understand the recommended sequence and avoid premature takedowns. Final timing should follow the applicable distributor guidance.
