Learn how music distribution works with PlayGeet, from creating a release to delivering your music on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, JioSaavn, TikTok, and other major streaming platforms.

Music distribution is the process of delivering your music to streaming platforms and digital stores such as Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, JioSaavn, TikTok, Instagram, TIDAL, Deezer, and many more.

With PlayGeet, you upload your music once, and we distribute it to your selected platforms while handling the technical delivery, metadata formatting, and store requirements.

How Music Distribution Works

Distributing your music with PlayGeet takes just a few steps.

1. Create Your Release

Start by creating a new release in your PlayGeet dashboard.

Add:

  • Cover artwork

  • Release title

  • Artist information

  • Audio files

  • Song metadata

If you're new, read Create Your First Release.

2. Select Your Release Date

Choose the date you want your music to become available.

For the best results, schedule your release 2–3 weeks in advance. This gives streaming platforms enough time to process your release and allows you to pitch eligible tracks for editorial playlists.

3. Choose Streaming Platforms

Select where your music should be distributed.

PlayGeet delivers to major platforms including:

  • Spotify

  • Apple Music

  • Amazon Music

  • YouTube Music

  • JioSaavn

  • Instagram & Facebook

  • TikTok

  • TIDAL

  • Deezer

  • Boomplay

  • Anghami

  • KKBOX

  • Tencent Music

  • and many more.

By default, your release can be delivered to all supported platforms.

4. Submit Your Release

Before distribution, PlayGeet reviews your release to ensure it meets platform requirements.

We verify:

  • Audio quality

  • Artwork specifications

  • Metadata accuracy

  • Copyright information

  • Store compliance

If changes are required, you'll be notified before distribution.

5. Your Music Goes Live

After approval, PlayGeet delivers your release to your selected platforms.

Each platform processes releases independently, so availability may vary slightly between stores.
