You can see a full list of the digital partners we currently work with here. We have a few options for you to choose from to customize your distribution during the release submission process. Read on to learn how to make sure your music ends up everywhere you want it to be.
What distribution levels do you offer?
- Downloads + Streaming services - Includes all download partners, plus services like Spotify, Tencent, YouTube Music, TikTok, and more.
- Downloads Only - Includes partners that offer downloads only, like Apple iTunes and Amazon Music’s MP3 store (with and without cloud-access features). No streaming platforms are included that provide users with tracks they haven't bought or previously downloaded.
- Do it all. Even unpaid - Includes places that offer free downloads and streaming. At this time we aren't partnered with any site like this, but it's possible we may in the future.
How to select your distribution options
Before your release is distributed
- Log into your artist account.
- Click on 'VIEW/EDIT' next to the submission in question.
- Please note: If you recently submitted for inspection, click "I need to make changes" first.
- Click 'DISTRIBUTION' > 'EDIT DIGITAL DISTRIBUTION OPTIONS'.
- Choose what level of distribution you would like for your release.
- You can check or uncheck the boxes next to specific partners to add or remove them.
- Keep in mind that some of our distribution is via aggregation partners:
- If there's a specific partner you want to opt in/out of that is not listed individually, you may need to opt in/out of the aggregation partner.
- For example, we distribute to Snap and AMI via 7Digital.
After your release is distributed
- If your release has already been delivered to our partners, you won't be able to make changes to your distribution options within your account.
- If you need to remove partner sites, you can see instructions here.
- If you need to add partner sites or change your distribution level, you can see instructions here.
Why isn't TikTok listed?
- We do deliver to TikTok! TikTok is one of our social video partners, like YouTube and Meta.
- To have your music on TikTok, you need to opt into TikTok in the Social Video Monetization section of your submission.
- See here for important information about eligibility.
Things to note
CD Baby and our distribution partners have removed the music of artists based in Pakistan from platforms in India. This is in response to the government advisory issued in May 2025. This doesn’t affect any of your other distribution. Until that edict is lifted or we’re advised otherwise, these releases will not be available to stream or download in India.
* CD Baby is part of Downtown Music. All deliveries of new music to Yandex and UMA have been suspended.
In response to the most recent sanctions, CD Baby is removing all content previously delivered to Yandex and UMA. All payments received up to now have been posted in CD Baby accounts.
