To add additional credits and/or liner notes to your songs in DistroKid, first head to the credits dashboard. To do so, open the Features Menu in the upper right of DistroKid, click "Enhance your music," then click "Credits." You can also go directly to https://distrokid.com/credits.
From the credits dashboard, you can click on a song to add credits or liner notes to it. Submitted credits and liner notes will be delivered to all streaming services that currently accept them, but not all services will display every type of credit or note available through the credits dashboard. If you want to be sure your credit will be displayed in a service, we recommend listing it under a Songwriter or Producer credit.
When adding credits to a song for the first time, you must first credit a songwriter, as this is mandatory for all songs.
Adding Credits or Liner Notes to a Song
From the credits dashboard at https://distrokid.com/credits, you can click on a song to add credits or liner notes to it. Once you click a song, you'll be brought to a page where you can use the "Add new..." dropdown menu to select the type of credit or note.
Once you select the type of credit or note, a secondary dropdown menu will appear that will allow you to specify more details. For example, the "Musician" credit has a secondary menu that allows you to select the instrument for the musician.
After selecting the credit/note type and the details, you can enter the name of the person you are crediting or the information to display in the liner note. Once you enter the name or information, click "Save this credit." Once you have added all of the credits and liner notes you desire, click "Done, submit to streaming services" to send the updated credits and notes to services.
