Musician, Songwriter, Band

You are a songwriter, musician, band or composer and want to release your own songs? Then you should read on.

For most online stores like iTunes or Beatport you need an aggregation service for the content delivery. One of the best in terms of cost-benefit is Rebeat, so we explain the whole process based on their system.

1) Online Stores – Aggregators

The vast majority of stores do not accept contents from individuals or small labels. This is mainly because they want to concentrate on their own business: selling music. That’s why there are – so called – aggregation beetween rights holders and online stores. The service of such companies: content agrregation, processing, delivery and reporting.

2) Contract

With the client software based aggregation service Rebeat, you can deliver your music easily, fast and cost efficient. Aggregators deliver to companies like Apple and Amazon and need of course be sure that they deliver only 100% legal contents. This is why you have to sign a contract with them (Aggregator), you guarantee to hold the rights of the content you want to monetize.

The contract with Rebeat is title -exclusive and can be terminated already after one year if required. Without cancellation it is comfortably extending automatically, however.

This means: if you are an unsigned artist, you can deliver your full content with Rebeat. In case you have a contract with a label you need to clear the digital rights, in most cases the label holds and distributes them on your behalf. If you produced tracks not included with the label contract you are free to choose the digital distribution method.
