Questions, answered plainly.
Everything artists, producers and labels usually ask before their first release.
Music distribution is the process of delivering your finished releases to streaming and download platforms — Spotify, Apple Music, TikTok and others — under the metadata, formatting and content requirements each platform sets.
You submit a release with its audio, artwork and metadata. We review it against each platform's requirements, then deliver it to the stores you've selected on the schedule you choose.
Ame Noire delivers to major streaming and social platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, Deezer, TIDAL, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Pandora, SoundCloud, Boomplay and Anghami.
Yes. Ame Noire distributes your music — it never takes ownership of your masters, rights or catalog.
Delivery timelines vary by platform. As a general rule, releases should be submitted several weeks ahead of the intended release date to allow for review and platform processing.
We accept standard high-resolution audio formats (such as WAV) that meet each platform's technical specifications. Exact requirements are confirmed during submission.
Cover artwork must meet minimum resolution and formatting requirements common across DSPs — square, high resolution, and free of platform-prohibited content such as pricing information or contact details.
Yes. You can set a release date in advance, and where supported, configure pre-save availability ahead of the release.
Yes. Ame Noire supports multiple artist profiles under a single account, which is especially useful for labels, producers and managers.
Yes. Ame Noire's label and catalog tools are built for managing multiple artists, bulk delivery and consolidated catalog reporting.
You can request a takedown of a release at any time. We submit the request to each relevant platform, though removal timelines vary by platform.
Royalty reporting is provided based on data received from each platform. Ame Noire does not take a share of your royalties beyond the applicable distribution fee.
At minimum: artist name, release title, track titles, genre, release date, and contributor and rights information. Additional fields may be required depending on the platform.
Every track needs an ISRC for tracking and royalty attribution. If you don't already have one, Ame Noire can assign one as part of distribution.
Every release needs a UPC or EAN as its unique release identifier. If you don't have one, Ame Noire can assign one during submission.
Yes. Ame Noire supports catalog migration for artists and labels moving from another distributor, including maintaining existing metadata and identifiers where possible.
Your release goes live according to each platform's own processing schedule. From there, you can track delivery status and manage updates, corrections or takedowns as needed.
