Let's Go Bro!
Radio Airplay is a Scam. This is an old video. Sometime around 2022 (maybe 2020) they changed things. All the "promotional/marketing" sites are as far as I can tell. I am very sad that CDBaby partners with Radio Airplay. CDBaby used to be 100% artist friendly and legit. Now I am considering using a different non-subscription based distributor for our music releases. Makes me very sad.
Thanks you've answered all the questioned.
Bravo 👏🏻
Love this song Son❤️
HOOK WAS GOOD YOU NEED TO DO LIKE THAT MORE OFTEN, PEACE! I WAS BORN IN TACOMA, WASHINGTON, FORT LEWIS, ARMY BRAT

Can you make a video of how to switch from DistroKid to unitedmasters
Thank you so very much for this video! It is GREATLY appreciated and really helped me.
If there's a will, there's a way. Always a method to my madness.
Thank you for the info. Question. If I sign up with CD Baby Boost will they register me with MLC to get mechanical, digital, and sync licensing? Or is it good to sign up with MLC and Sound Exchange to get all three royalties?
Dont upload to spotify then?
the majority of the market and the listeners are on those platforms. typical fans don’t go to your bandcamp page and pay for albums. they just don’t think that way so musicians have no choice but to go where the people are. that’s like saying instead of selling on the store shelves just go down to the farmer’s market. you may earn more per sale at the farmers market but you’re less likely to encounter a buyer there too.
@@wordplaytjay I thought you said Spotify's not paying you enough
@@doomknocker But he's right. It's not paying enough. If you are starting producer, you'll just end with depressions + distributing platforms like CDBaby or Amuse (I'd say Abuse rather) will f**k you even more with their rules and fees. It's like fighting a giant, only without the slingshot.
@@doomknocker ...YT loves to recommend videos where people brag about how they've managed to make thousands on this and that, but the reality is that they're either simply liars or the lucky 1% who have managed to make it big by accident (or through connections). Do you have any contacts for Lady Gaga's manager, or do you know Lil Nas' cousin ? I'd bet on the negative. And please, don't take this as an offensive, but as advice from an old dog.
You're absolutely right man. I was a music composer. I spent literally thousands just on equipment, mastering, VSTs and other tools to finish a few songs. When I found out that even after years of working, I had no chance of getting ANY money, I completely gave up on it. It wasn't until new AI generators (Udio, Suno) came along that can produce listenable music in literally minutes that I came back, and I don't care that a lot of people b**ch about AI, because if I wasn't honest about the fact that I was benefiting from AI, no one would even notice. So I'm sending it out there to Distrokid in droves, and maybe this will be also the reason why the music industry goes to hell... So what ? I've already wasted so much time trying so hard that I don't give a single sh** anymore.
that sucks a lot. i personally don’t have an issue with AI outside of people pretending to be someone else without permission. Autotune is a form of AI. be creative and keep putting it out.
@@wordplaytjay That's indeed also true. I also think AI is just another tool for creators. Whatever, we've progressed so much that I don't have to invest a penny and finish capable songs. Thank you for the reply 👍
I like the idea of people releasing song downloads thru purchase only. People streaming from their own websites can be good too
i do too, the issue is many consumers don’t engage with music that way.
Tome si like buen hombre!
I'll sign the petition, BUT this is EXACTLY why I don't stream music. I buy the music, even if it's a digital copy. I tell independent artists all the time to drop their Bandcamp link.
i wish more people supported in the way you do.
For myself it is all about recording Original Praise Worship Warning and Instrucion Christian Music. Got the SSD and just trying to work the Roland RPC-1 Sound Card into this PCIe PC. Peace be with you.✌😎
Good video
I second this message masterfully Done wordplay thank you so much for making this video May 1, 2025 we will march the streets

Thank you for the information! Straight to it with it! Preciate it!
Not throwing any shade at all but it seems like you need to promote this video lol. --- awesome informative video tho it really deserves more views!
thank you. shout out to youtube’s algorithm! During COVID these videos did better because more people were at home. Today that has lessened, the content is not very popular because most musicians aren’t looking to do something about promoting their music unfortunately. I share my content across multiple channels and the same thing happens, the algorithm believes it’s not relevant or engaging enough. I’ll keep working on improving those odds.
@@wordplaytjay I am not one of those artists haha! I make electronic music. Check it out if ya ever got time! soundcloud.com/dotwillmusic/soihs/s-ODNmb3LTF9U?si=1548466a463a440696ff2cb1c0e957f1& I wish you all the future success man!

Can I still use musixmatch if I already uploaded the lyrics on Distrokid?
It's very disheartening. I found indie hiphop in 2001 and that rabbit hole changed my life. It's criminal how artists like Aesop Rock and others have consistently made great music and still get no respect from the masses. Now that 120,000 songs are uploaded a day it's become even more difficult to be found and shown love. I plan to make a deep dive and give love to all the indie artists that I've found who never got the appreciation for their talent and hardwork. Good luck. You have a new fan.
That’s amazing you had that entry into hip hop. this business is no different than other industries - a few very large companies are in charge and shutting out all the other small businesses. there is a way out and the fans have to give us to ability to do so. Thanks for joining the Underdogs
THATS HIGH ENERGY KING HEAVY ROTATION 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯💯👑👑👑👑👑👑👑🆙
yo thank you for the love keep spinnin it and share to your friend.
I dropped a song and they dropped it on another page with the same name
they can fix it or you can ask your distributor to fix it
@@wordplaytjay Ok cause i used to be able to post on my page then all of a sudden they posted my stuff on a different page
@@JBStackz have you changed distributors or do you know if another artists came out with the same name?
@@wordplaytjay Nope i’ve been with distrokid for 2 years now
@@wordplaytjay Not that i know of about the same name part but do you know how i can maybe change it to post on my account? Because i tried to do fixer and they haven’t done anything yet

Thank you for the clarity!!Appreciate it much!

lets say you have lyrics with musix match and then cancel your subscription. Will they keep your lyrics on the streaming platforms after cancellation?
To access lyric synchronization you just need a Pro account but the pro accounts have a free tier. Paid tiers are only for extra services. You can use the platform without paying. Just look on the page for a free option, it’s hard to spot.
Hey my guy, I’m an artist emerging from Dumas, Arkansas. I’d love to get a chance to talk to you and pick your brain. This is my research page, I also have an artist page “TheLuxzDvsn”
Great video, im switching from DK to tunecore. My titles have changed since original release along with coverart as well, is it okay to input the new titles and new coverarts with same isrc and upc?
I’m not sure about the cover art but the titles may be an issue. Try one out first… or ask Tunecore. A new title for the same recording and ISRC may end up being an issue
@@wordplaytjay makes sense. thank you so much for your help
Thanks. I found this very helpful. 💛
Good stuff, keep it up 🔥🔥
so if i use distrokid to get my songs out, but want to use musixmatch as my lyric-distributer... how?
that’s not the best move Musixmatch technology is built into Distrokid Lyric match tool. it works the same way if it’s available.
Hey I got one payout from them but now I haven't gotten anymore but I gotten 3 more sales I seen people saying the date keep changing any idea
ask their customer support
🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
That's right sick
