If you don't renew your subscription to DistroKid, your music will be removed from services. DistroKid subscriptions are billed annually on the date you first signed up and paid for the subscription.

To prevent your releases from being removed for this reason, you can opt any upload into DistroKid's optional Leave a Legacy album extra.

The Leave a Legacy Album Extra

The Leave a Legacy option can be added to a release to prevent removal by DistroKid due to a lapsed subscription payment (e.g., declined credit cards).

If you ever cancel your subscription, any releases with the Leave a Legacy extra will still be available in streaming services unless you choose to delete them.

Adding this extra to a release does not replace your annual membership fee if you have an active subscription, and it is not a one-time payment for all of your releases; each release must have this extra if you wish to cancel your subscription and keep your releases listed in streaming services.

To opt in, find the Leave a Legacy checkbox on DistroKid's upload form, or on your release page.
