How to choose an AI music distributor
Not every distributor accepts AI music, and some remove AI releases without warning. Use this checklist before you trust a distributor with your AI songs.
The checklist
- A written AI policy: which kinds of AI music they accept and which they do not.
- AI disclosure in the upload form, so stores receive correct information.
- Human review before delivery, so problems are caught before a store sees them.
- Reach: Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, TikTok, Instagram and the regional stores your listeners use.
- Clear pricing — yearly or per release — and whether they take a share of your royalties.
- You keep your rights, and you can take releases down when you want.
- Royalty reports you can understand, with payouts to your country.

Questions
Why do some distributors reject AI music?
Stores have tightened their rules against spam and impersonation, and some distributors avoid the risk by refusing AI music altogether. A distributor with a clear AI policy and review protects AI artists instead.
