RE-UPLOADING YOUR RELEASE
- Create an account with MasterStreams (if you haven’t done so already!)
- Click the “Create New Release” tile in the artist dashboard.
- Choose the “re-release of an existing single/album“ option“
- 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
- Submit your release and we’ll do the rest!
SWITCHING OVER
- To ensure your stream counts merge to the MasterStreams versions, ensure that your new release is delivered and live for 48 hours before issuing a takedown with your old distributor. If you click on the album page on the Spotify desktop, look for the ‘1 More Release’ icon which indicates that the 2 releases have successfully merged. (Note this can take 48hrs).
- 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 on your product
- DITTO – go to your release and click on the ‘Takedown’ button
We do not recommend you close your account as there may still be royalties owing to you in future months.
