How long will it take for Musicinfo to send my music to the streaming services?
There is a 10 day leeway period for distribution to the global stores, that we can process and publish the releases once you publish from the distribution platform. For stores like spotify it can be live within one day, other stores have their own queuing times.
It typically takes 4 weeks to publish to the Chinese stores.
The distribution to the Korean store though it seems should be as simple as any other distribution store is sporadic. The release may be released this week or in the next month.
Once you finish uploading all the required information to Musicinfo and publish your release, we will send your music to China as soon as the information you have provided has been verified. This typically takes about 2-3 days. It will be checked and verified again in China, then it will be sorted, catalogued and sent to the service providers which typically takes around 4 weeks.
Please note that in the event of extenuating circumstances, the distribution period and the time it takes for your music to go live on the streaming services may be subject to delays. If it is deemed that the distribution period is unnecessarily or significantly extended, we will reasonably compensate for the lag in distribution times by extending your subscription.
