How do I do iTunes Connect?

I have an Apple ID and I’m trying to make an iTunes Connect account but it like doesn’t let me. I make music and publish it on DistroKid. Like when I do the music thing it says, Apple Music is not accepting applications at this time. Refer to our Partner Search page for the list of Preferred partners to submit your music to Apple Music and the iTunes Store. Like what do I need to do an iTunes Connect account?

To submit music you need to go through a partner publisher, you can't submit on your own at this time. As such you don't yourself need an iTunes Connect account at this point.


You need to follow the process on Distrokid's website to upload your music to them and then they can publish it on the Apple Music Catalog and iTunes Store on your behalf. They'll create your artist page which you can then claim.
