That is awesome! I would to hear your music. Personally for you, DistroKid may be better since they are very competitive in terms of helping you build a presence on all mayor music platforms at a very low price. Then you can grab your Barcodes and album data and move to a different distributor once you get enough fans which would take years anyways so you don’t have to worry too much. The reason why I say this is because depending on your situation, you may want to be with a company that puts more of an emphasis on you! what I love about CDBaby is that they are always one phone call away from anything I need. But they are the most expensive to the artist. I may be biased here so do what’s best for your needs 😄 I will try to do a video eventually talking about how they work and maybe help others make a better decision

In my opinion, Spotify is still the best platform for musicians to gather a fanbase! But if you have a big enough fan base already, you don’t want to be a struggling artist with 2 jobs and fighting to find the time to be a musician on the side. So it’s best to be smart and proactive and focus on areas that will give you what you need most 😄 that being said, Both Apple Music and Spotify are great to be shared equally. One for the fans, and the other for the fact that you get paid twice as much lol

Hello, I have a subscription to Apple Music and occasionally buy songs on iTunes to support them. The purchased songs are automatically saved in the Apple Music app. My question: Do my streams with the music subscription still count (for charts, royalties) and therefore count twice? Or does the server recognize that the song was purchased and not count the streams?
@MichaelOrtegaExtra

Good question! I did some research on that and found this regarding purchases and streams: Apple Music streams are music files which are from Apple Music. If you have purchased an album from the iTunes Store, and you're playing the files from that purchased album, that is not a stream. It does count as a purchase for the artist. If you add the album from Apple Music, and play the Apple Music files, that is a stream. Anytime you play a song from the Apple Music Library it is a stream. This information explains what is included in the Apple Music data of an artist: "Plays, Listeners, Shazams, and More We measure your music's performance in these categories: Plays are recorded when a user initiates song playback in Apple Music for more than 30 seconds. Average Daily Listeners are the average number of daily unique listeners in the time frame selected. Purchases are recorded when a customer buys your song or album from the iTunes Store. Shazams are recorded anytime your song is recognized by the Shazam app or one of the partner apps that use Shazam technology. Insights are a list of milestones and all-time bests for your songs and albums, highlighting important changes in the data. Radio Spins are recorded when a subscriber listens to your song for more than 30 seconds while tuned in to an Apple Music radio station. Apple Music radio stations are created when a user picks a song or an artist to generate a custom radio station, or from an Apple Music curated radio station. Video Views are recorded when an Apple Music user watches your music video for more than 30 seconds."

I think that only focusing on apple music is not good at all because i mean it's totally understandable that spotify pays you less because as you said the streams are wayyy more on spotify. Spotify would be poor if they paid that much. I think it depends on how much streams you get according to the store not looking on the price per stream. I mean nearly everyone has spotify even apple music users but it's not the other way around...

Ugh there's so many different parties involved it's hard to get started and know what to do (your videos are super helpful). It'd be great if you can a video on the role of CD Baby and other distributors.

Ah you are here too? Lol thank you for watching these. That is a great idea. I only have experience with Cd baby but I can do some research on the others as I have friends who do have Distrokid, and others have other smaller distributors. The great thing about them is they bring your music to all of the mayor platforms including KZitem Music, Amazon, Pandora, Napster, etc etc. I am in all of them and they al pay more per steam that KZitem. As a musician who has the biggest audience only on KZitem and struggling my whole life despite having millions of “streams” I only discovered 2 years ago the amazing difference of revenue simply putting your music on other platforms can bring. Also how they help you as an independent artist to create a career without relying on a Record Label.

At the time of that comment, I did “voice to speech” on KZitem comments. (When you let the mic pick up your words and the iPhone writes for you) I didn’t proof read it. When you commented, it was too much to explain. It wasn’t that I typed it wrong... I figured, “oh well, he wouldn’t get it might as well delete it since he won’t believe me when I actually didn’t physically typed the comment”. It is what it is. I didn’t meant to be annoying, I tend to focus on too much details due to being on the “spectrum” if you know what I mean. Now I had to write a paragraph to explain myself which I didn’t want to do
