But you don't have to pay that, and there's no reason to pay that if you maintain your annual fee with Distrokid (and if you're actively releasing albums, why wouldn't you?). And I don't know about you but if I were to leave Distrokid it's probably because I want to reupload my music somewhere else anyway.Pigfarmer Jr wrote: ↑Mon Mar 22, 2021 12:29 pmNot if you have to pay an additional 25 bucks per record to keep it on distribution permanently (if you leave distrokid.)
The $25/album add-on is specifically for their "legacy, in case something happens to you" thing. It's so that someone else can continue to collect sales income on your albums after you die.
