Welcome! You won't be disappointed.

It's easy to switch to DistroKid. Here's how:

1. Upload your releases to DistroKid
2. The next day, go to your old distributor and remove those releases

DistroKid is fast, so there's a chance that your albums will appear twice in streaming services before your old distributor takes them down. This brief overlap is okay.

Here's more info on how long it takes for releases to go live via DistroKid.

Maintaining Play Counts and Playlists

To ensure that services (especially Spotify) try to maintain play counts or playlists that your music is on, make sure to use the exact same metadata (song titles, album title, ISRCs, etc.) and audio files you used with your old distributor when uploading to DistroKid. We can't guarantee that these play counts and playlist placements are maintained because the process is out of our hands, but that's generally how it works. Note that you may lose reviews in iTunes and Amazon.

Here's more info on using your own ISRC codes.
