Spotify Music Distribution Explained

How do I upload music to Spotify?

Spotify doesn't allow artists to directly upload their music themselves, so you need to use a music distributor like Ditto. We take care of everything on your behalf and will make sure your songs get uploaded quickly and correctly. Start uploading music to Spotify with your free 30-day Ditto trial now!

Can anyone release music on Spotify?

Yes! As long as you’re uploading via a music distributor and your tracks meet Spotify’s guidelines for audio and artwork quality, you’re good to go. Make sure to read our audio guidelines and artwork rules before starting the upload process to guarantee your music will be accepted right away.

How long does it take to upload music on Spotify?

You can get your music on Spotify within 48 hours using our Release Express service. Otherwise, it takes around 5-7 days for your tracks to be processed by our team and approved by Spotify.

Can I choose my release date for Spotify?

Yes! Unlike most other music distributors, with Ditto you can choose an exact release date at least 2 weeks from the day you upload it to our platform.

How much money will I make from Spotify?

The truth is, it varies. Spotify’s royalty rate depends on a number of different factors including the location of the listener and whether the stream came from a paid or free subscription account.

When will I get paid by Spotify?

We’ll pay 100% of your Spotify royalties directly into your Ditto account as soon as we receive them. There’s usually a delay of around two months for royalties to arrive after a track has been released.

How do I get more streams on Spotify?

We’d recommend you sign up to Spotify for Artists where you can edit your artist profile, pitch music for playlists and more. You can also learn how to get playlisted on Spotify on our Unsigned Advice blog and subscribe to our mailing list for the latest music industry advice.

What is Spotify Canvas?
