Not at all! SongCast is not a record company, so we don't take any portion of the rights to your music when you take part in our distribution services. Instead, you maintain the rights to your music and recordings at all times; all we do is distribute your music to several popular digital music stores in order to sell your music.
When you're ready to take the next step and sell your music online, one of the first things you might ask yourself is: "I'm ready to promote my music, but I don't want to sell any of the rights to my music. What can I do?". The biggest hook when it comes to music distribution is hidden clauses that take away owner's rights to your original content. We're not looking to sneak anything by you; instead, we want to provide you with the tools you need to successfully sell your music online. You shouldn't have to give up the artistic rights to your music, so at SongCast, we're looking to help you preserve, promote, and sell the music you have created.
The first step you need to take is to set up an artist or label account with us. Creating your account registers you within our servers and allows you to setup an artist profile, and also pick and choose exactly what you want to happen with your music distribution. Not only will you be able to upload your own cover art and songs, but you will also be able to specify exactly what type of distribution package you want for your music. It's as easy as sending your information to us then we do the rest!
We'll take care of the file converting for you, as well as give you the features you're looking for. Within a couple of days, you'll be able to see your songs on major music retailers like iTunes, Amazon Music, Google Play & Spotify. At this point, you'll really be able to sell your music online - and you get to keep 100% of the royalties from your music. As you can see, you're in control of the process from start to finish - there's no need to worry about hidden contracts or fees. Your rights will be preserved, your music will be distributed, and you're receiving 100% of the royalties you earn from your music sales. When an artist is thinking, "I need to promote my music," SongCast is here to say: sell your music online with us!!
