What Ditto Music is
Ditto Music distributes independent artists’ releases to more than 150 streaming, download, and social platforms. Artists upload audio, metadata, artwork, and royalty splits, then release music to destinations including Spotify, Apple Music, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and Amazon Music. Releases can use the artist’s own ISRC and UPC codes or codes generated by Ditto at no charge. Plans include unlimited releases, analytics, playlist submissions, royalty splits, and pre-save smartlinks, with features varying by tier. Ditto says artists keep 100% of streaming royalties; Pro and Labels plans take a 15% commission on publishing and sync royalties. Pro adds publishing royalty collection, sync licensing pitches, YouTube Content ID and Official Artist Channel setup, exact release times, release protection, and priority support. Labels includes Pro features and supports larger artist rosters. The mobile app supports uploading releases, checking stream statistics, and withdrawing royalties.
