Your release has already been distributed by another company but you would like to transfer it to recordJet? That’s actually pretty easy!
Your streams/clicks, followers and artist pages will not be affected by the move, as long as you follow the procedure below:
1. Please clarify any cancellation or takedown deadlines with your old distributor and make sure to get the label copy and/or all necessary codes of your release (GTIN/UPC, ISRCs).
Important: The metadata, audiofiles and codes must be correctly transferred when re-uploading so that streams and playlist positions already achieved can be retained. Please be sure to enter your correct artist IDs from iTunes and Spotify when creating the release so that the release ends up on the correct artist pages.
2. Create your release on recordJet - feel free to use the iTunes import function to get most of the data automatically and add the rest. Also feel free to enter the original release date.
Attention: With the "iTunes import function" the premium deal is automatically selected. If you don't want this, you would have to change the deal afterwards.
3. To ensure a seamless transition, the release should be available in both stores for a short period of time. Spotify, for example, needs up to 5 days to link the old version of a track to the new version. So complete your release at recordJet and make sure that the takedown at your old distributor takes place approximately one week after delivery to us (see 1.). You will receive confirmation by email as soon as the release has been delivered.
Please note: Streams from YouTube Music cannot be transferred.
Feel free to contact us for a small discount if you would like to switch to us.
