33. Distro Kid and Tune Core

34. Intro
Distribution is one of the primary incomes a musician has in 2019. Apple Music,
Spotify, YouTube Music, and Pandora are examples of music streaming services
that pay distribution to musicians based off the amount of plays they recieve.
Today I will be comparing two of the most popular Distributors, Distro Kid and
Tunecore.

35. How Distribution Works...
Before I compare and contrast the distributors, it’s important to know how they
work. Once you sign up with a distributor, you submit and register your songs with
them so they can forward them to all the different streaming platforms that they
are associated with.
