In this video, we break down the cost and plans offered by some of the biggest names in online music distribution - Distrokid, CD Baby, Tunecore - as well as a few lesser known distributors. We'll talk about the pros and cons of each, what services can be expected, and which one is best for your situation. In the end, the choice is yours. This video will guide you to making a well-informed decision that helps you get your music out into all the DSPs/streaming platforms/stores ASAP.
