    Man, this distribution thing is such a complicated mess. I'm personally swaying towards CDBaby, but there are so many options that one can't ever really know what's best

      This is why I’ve tried a lot of them. CD Baby, LANDR, DistroKid, TuneCore, Ditto, I’ve used like 75% of the major ones out there just to see which works best for me. 🤷🏾‍♂️

      It depends on your personal needs, I can’t recommend something to you unless I know of what features you’d like to have. Each distribution has its own positives and reasons you would get them. I personally use LANDR & CD Baby. I have used Distrokid in the past but don’t like paying yearly for the added features.

    Thank you for your analysis! What would be the best time for an artist to move distros? I have some tracks I want to upload, and I was mulling it over whether I wanted to switch distros now or later. I also thought about waiting until I the royalties for this month have rolled in through my current distro, so I can cash them in before I do anything lol.

It appears with cdbaby that is a very feasible and economical way to do that one song at a time as I put together a full "release". Landr I must admit was impressed with their mastering service for songs but I am not seeing anything for sync licensing.

But LANDR has so many creative tools which to me makes subscribing to them a no-brainer even if you aren't using their distribution services. Maybe I'll make a new one specifically focusing on them.

I am preparing a big video for close future where I will talk about some interesting points leading up to it. I speak Ukrainian in the video, but I try to add English subtitles. In my opinion, LANDR is a good option, considering that they use FUGA for distribution. LANDR is not enough experience, especially in terms of customer support and a better understanding of various details. So it seems to me, judging from the first experience of cooperation. In fact, the problems I faced were caused by LANDR. If they had correctly submitted the information I provided, then this would not happen.

      If you can't pay $5 for UA-cam monetization then I'm assuming you can't pay for a subscription either. In this case you should use Amuse as I believe they have a free distribution option. They just take more of your royalties from streams as a cut.
