What distributor do you use?

Do you release music? What distributor do you use or have you used? Distrokid, Tunecore... What’s your experience with them and do you recommend them? I use Symphonic Distribution but am considering switching.

I've used Ditto music. It's just 250 philippine pesos a year! Very very easy to use for me.

Cool. I'll check them out. The upsides to Symphonic is that they are very professional and thorough with metadata and whatnot. They handle a lot of very established independent labels. But this is also the downside. Releasing music with them can be a time consuming task, and their platform and UI/UX could definitely be improved on. I don't pay a subscription or anything upfront, but they take a %. Which I think is more of a legacy model it seems. Not sure if that's a good thing or not these days.

That's interesting. I'm checking Symphonic out. Looks cheaper than Ditto music! Thanks Mikey!

I've been with them for a while and I wanted to review my terms with them to see if there was a better platform to work with, or if a subscription model made more sense... but overall they are good. And they do seem to be putting some work into their UI/UX, but I find it a bit clunky.
