Spotify Distribution
Distribute your music to Spotify
Get your music on Spotify through SMG's DDEX-compliant distribution infrastructure. Release scheduling, automated QC, metadata management and royalty reporting — for artists, labels and catalog owners.
How it works
From upload to Spotify — structured delivery
SMG handles the full delivery pipeline: metadata review, DDEX packaging, platform delivery, and confirmation of live status on Spotify and co-distributed platforms.
02
Quality Control
SMG reviews audio quality, metadata completeness and artwork specs before any delivery is sent. Errors are caught before they reach Spotify.
03
DDEX Delivery to Spotify
A compliant DDEX delivery package is sent to Spotify on your configured release schedule. Delivery is tracked and confirmed.
04
Territory Configuration
Releases go to all Spotify markets by default. Territory restrictions can be configured for licensed content or regional exclusivities.
05
Royalty Reporting
Spotify streaming revenue is processed through SMG's LUNA Accounting infrastructure and included in your royalty statements.
06
Ongoing Catalog Management
Corrections, re-issues, takedowns and metadata updates are handled as operational tasks — your Spotify catalog stays accurate over time.
Part of a broader distribution network
Spotify + 30 more DSPs in one delivery
When you distribute through SMG, your release reaches Spotify alongside Apple Music, YouTube Music, TikTok, Amazon Music, Deezer, Zing MP3 and regional platforms across Southeast Asia — in a single DDEX delivery batch. No separate submissions required per platform.
