WHAT IS MUSIC DISTRIBUTION

Releasing music without a label — how music distribution works with OGRECORDS.

Music distribution means: from a single upload, your track lands on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, TikTok and YouTube Music plus over 38 more streaming platforms and stores — worldwide, in more than 240 territories, technically clean via the DDEX standard. You need neither a record deal nor your own label: OGRECORDS handles the entire delivery as your digital distributor, and you keep 100% of your masters.

The difference is the model. Instead of an annual subscription or per-release fee, you pay a 10 % revenue share — and only when you actually earn. Your income is tracked daily and typically paid out within 24 hours, not after 60 days. Royalty splits to features, producers or collaborators are settled automatically, with no cap on the number of recipients.

What matters for you as an artist: distribution is non-exclusive. There's no lock-in, no catalogue hold and no notice period blocking you — you can migrate or take down your catalogue any time. Whatever you release stays yours. Full details on commission and payouts are on /pricing.

Distribution is more than the upload: ISRC and UPC are assigned automatically, YouTube Content ID claims your music in other people’s videos, pre-save campaigns and smart links run from the moment you submit, and audio QC checks every master before delivery. The /glossar explains every term in detail — and what a stream actually earns is on /spotify-pro-stream.

For artists from Germany, Austria and Switzerland this means: distribution in your language, support that answers, an agreement you can actually read — with global reach. Compare the distribution models calmly on subscription vs. revenue share or /why — and when you are ready, your first release is submitted in under an hour.

COSTS · MODELS COMPARED

How much does music distribution cost?

Digital distributors charge in one of three ways. Which one pays off for you depends less on the price tag than on how much you release and how much your music already earns. The overview shows the typical differences — without naming providers; the head-to-head comparisons live on our comparison pages.

ModelHow you payWhile nothing is coming inBest for
Annual subscriptionFixed yearly fee, usually 100% of earnings to you in return.The fee keeps running — releases often disappear when the subscription ends.Artists with consistently high earnings and many releases. See annual fee vs. revenue share.
Fee per releaseOne-off price per single, EP or album — extras often cost more.You've paid up front, whether or not the release gets streams.A few carefully planned releases.
