What IDOL is
IDOL provides digital music distribution and artist and label services for independent artists, labels, and producers. Founded in 2006 and headquartered in Paris, France, it offers Labelcamp, a web platform for distribution, catalog administration, sales reporting, revenue analysis, and daily consumption data. Users can manage contracts, audio and video catalogs, metadata, and territorial and digital-service-provider rights. Its release workflow supports prioritizing and approving submissions, comments, and notifications. Labelcamp can deliver audio, HD audio, Dolby Atmos, and video in bulk, as well as timed releases, exclusive premieres, updates, and takedowns. It connects to music services, databases, and collective societies using DDEX implementations, proprietary XML, and partner APIs. Analytics cover revenue and daily streams by usage, territory, artist, playlists, and audience, with alerts for new playlist appearances. A REST API enables two-way communication with client systems. IDOL says labels it distributes receive a dedicated Label Manager and personalized support. Pricing is on request; prospective customers can request a demo.
