Distributing Music

So I would like to know what the process is to have an original song to be added to Apple Music to be listened to and streamed by other users.

iPhone 13 mini, iOS 16

Hey there !


Honestly the process is way more simple than i thought i’d be, but if you haven’t already found one you can find a Music Distribution Company, such as


Distrokid.com

cdbaby.com

amuse.io

unitedmasters.com

etc, just search “Music Distribution” if you’re looking for a free one (Which i don’t really recommend) you can use amuse or UnitedMasters, but if you’re looking to make sure your releases are distributed properly and have good quality, use a paid service such as Distrokid (The starter plan is 19.99$ a year) and they will distribute your music to all of the major music platforms.


I hope this answers your question!

Hi DedeiKuukua,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. If we understand correctly, you are an artist that would like to add your music to Apple Music. Right?


We'd recommend starting with the guidance from Get your Music on Apple Music - Apple Music for Artists. If you need more help after that, use the support link at the top of the page to find more resources or to reach out to the Apple Music for Artists support team.


Take care.
