How to Distribute Your Music for Free
Learn how to distribute your music to Spotify, Apple Music, and 240+ countries for free on Rthyms — keep 100% royalties and get paid within 24 hours.
What music distribution actually means
Distribution is how a recording reaches streaming and download stores. A distributor delivers your audio and metadata to Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, JioSaavn, and more, then collects the royalties those platforms pay and passes them to you.
Distribute to 240+ countries at no cost
On Rthyms, distribution is free — there is no upload fee and no subscription. Your release goes to 50+ platforms across 240+ countries from a single upload, so you are not paying per release or per store to be everywhere your listeners are.
Keep 100% of your royalties
You keep full ownership of your master and 100% of the royalties your music earns. Rthyms does not take a cut of your streaming revenue, and payouts are processed within 24 hours of clearing.
A simple release checklist
Prepare your final master and cover art, write accurate metadata (title, artists, credits, and release date), choose your stores, and schedule the release with enough lead time to pitch playlists and set up a pre-save. Rthyms guides each of these steps.
After you release
Once your music is live, share a smart link so fans reach it on any platform, run marketing campaigns, and track streams and audience data — all from the same dashboard you distributed from.
