TRANSFERRING YOUR
RELEASES TO Distrohive

WHAT YOU NEED

1. ASSETS
   Your audio and video files.

1. ISRCs
   The unique track codes from your single or album. If you need help retrieving these please contact us via your artist dashboard or visit our handy ISRC finder here.

RE-UPLOADING YOUR RELEASE

1. Create an account with Distrohive (if you haven't done so already!)
2. Click the 'Create New Release' tile in the artist dashboard.
3. Choose the 're-release of an existing single/album' option
4. When adding your tracks, select the option to enter your existing ISRC. Ensure you do this for EVERY track. This is how the tracks will link on Spotify and your streaming count will merge across
5. Submit your release and we'll do the rest!

SWITCHING OVER

1. To ensure your stream counts merge to the Distrohive versions, ensure that your new release is delivered and live for 48hrs prior to issuing a takedown with your old distributor. If you click into the album page on Spotify desktop, look for the '1 More Release' icon which indicates that the 2 releaes have successfully merged. (Note this can take 48hrs).
2. When you see this symbol, send a request to your previous distributor to remove their version from all online stores;
   • Tunecore - click here
   • CD Baby - click here
   • Distrokid - click on the 'Remove my music from all stores' button after you click into your product
   • DITTO - go to your release and click on 'Takedown' button
