Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about distributing your music, pricing, and ownership rights.
Is the revenue share percentage negotiable?
Yes, we believe in flexible partnerships. Our revenue share is negotiable based on the types of content you release, your existing audience size, and your catalog's overall popularity and streaming performance.
Simply register for a free account at our dashboard, set up your artist profile, upload your audio files and artwork, enter your metadata (credits, song titles, release date), and submit! We will review and distribute your tracks to major streaming platforms.
We distribute to over 40 top-tier services globally, including Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes, Amazon Music, TikTok, YouTube Music, Deezer, Tidal, Beatport, and many others.
Yes! Core Muzic offers free unlimited music distribution worldwide, including Content ID services and TikTok. There are no annual subscription fees or upfront upload costs. We make it easy for independent artists to grow their catalogs without financial risk.
Yes, absolutely. You retain 100% of your copyrights and ownership. Core Muzic only acts as your distribution partner to list your music on stores. You are free to take down your catalog or manage it at any time.
Once submitted, releases are reviewed by our team within 24-48 hours. Most platforms like Spotify and Apple Music go live within 5 to 7 days, though we recommend submitting your release at least 14 days in advance to allow for playlist pitching and proper scheduling.
Core Muzic has a strict zero-tolerance policy against artificial streaming. If you use bots, click farms, or payola services to artificially inflate your streams, your releases will be immediately taken down, any pending royalties will be frozen, and your account will be permanently banned to comply with DSP guidelines.
No. You must own 100% of the rights to the audio you upload. Uploading uncleared samples, unauthorized remixes, or someone else's music is copyright infringement. Releases flagged for infringement will be rejected or taken down via DMCA notices.
Artwork must be high-resolution, perfectly square, and cannot contain external URLs, social media handles, or pricing. Metadata (like artist names and track titles) must be accurate and cannot be misleading or deceptive to trick search algorithms.
You can withdraw your earnings directly from your dashboard once your balance reaches the minimum payout threshold ($50). We support payouts via PayPal, bank transfer, and Payoneer depending on your country of residence. Payouts are processed on a net-45 day schedule.
Absolutely! To keep your stream counts and playlist placements, you need to re-upload your tracks to Core Muzic using the exact same ISRC and UPC codes, along with the original audio and artwork. Once the release is live on our end, you can request a takedown from your previous distributor.
Yes, if you don't have your own ISRC (International Standard Recording Code) or UPC (Universal Product Code), Core Muzic will automatically generate and assign them to your releases for free during the upload process.
