Frequently Asked Questions
Collecting your global royalties can be confusing. We are here to help you at every step.
1. Can I still use a publisher administrator if I have a distributor like CD Baby or DistroKid?
Yes, you can use a publishing administrator even if you have a distributor like CD Baby or DistroKid. While a distributor like CD Baby or DistroKid helps you get your music onto streaming platforms and digital stores, a publishing administrator focuses on a different aspect of your music rights. They handle the collection and management of publishing royalties, which are earned when your music is downloaded, streamed, performed live, or played on the radio. These royalties are separate from the distribution royalties that CD Baby or DistroKid collects for you. By using both a distributor and a publishing administrator, you ensure comprehensive management and collection of all types of royalties your music generates.
