How to Get Your Music on Spotify and Apple Music Independently

 Getting your music on major streaming platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon doesn't require an expensive record label. Independent artists use digital music aggregators to upload their tracks worldwide.

Steps to launch your release:

Prepare Your Assets: Export your final mixed audio file as a high-quality WAV file (16-bit/44.1kHz) and have your square cover art ready (minimum 3000 x 3000 pixels).

Choose a Distributor: Select a platform that matches your budget. Free platforms like RouteNote or commission-free options like Jumpstr work great for independent artists.

Fill in Metadata: Enter your track title, artist name, primary genre, and release date accurately to avoid distribution delays.

Submit to Stores: Hit submit. Distributors typically take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks to push your track live to public stores.
