The age of showbiz and promotion have made the showcasing of talent a competitive one. The Music Distribution Services are such services that will distribute your recorded songs, composition o musical recording to the targeted audiences. Distribution companies signs contract with the recording companies, organization, and band for individuals who are documenting the music.

The forms of distribution

Now by signing the contract, the distribution company gets the right to sell the recorded music or the products that have been filed. In the agreement, a percentage of income is set aside for the company or distributor who is distributing the music.

Generally, there is two type of Digital Distribution.

  • The traditional music distribution includes that they will the record the labels of an already finished album. That means, whenever the complete recording of the music video or album is finished and ready, then the only distributor will take the responsibility to make it accessible to the audience.
  • Another way of distribution is Manufacturing and Distribution. By this method, the distributor pays a substantial amount of cost of the manufacture and the making of the whole album. In short, the music distributors act as the producer for that particular album. After the sale of the record, the distributor keeps his share of profit along with the benefit and the total investment for the making of the album.

The present

Contrary to the traditional distribution of the CDs and DVDs in the music store, the music industry and its distribution have seen a drastic change. With the digital revolution, listeners and fans across the world have started downloading music for free. It has been a drastic loss to the Global Music Distribution. As a result, many distributors faded with the passing of the time. Now only a few of the big names have still remained in the scenario. But it did not mean the end of the distribution. The online and authentic digital stores like iTunes and Amazon have still the payment system if you download an album. Many people still prefer the physical copy of the music, and they are still kept in some of the retail stores.

The future

The musicians and the recording studios too do not want the additional hassle of distributing the music themselves. Music distributors are now using the power of social media to spread the music of the artists via video sharing platform like YouTube. The video sharing platform pays the artist as pe the subscription and the view on their channel. It is the responsibility of the music company to make them accessible to all the audiences across by increasing the light and improving the position on the trending list.
