DistroVibe supports the distribution of Classical music across our global network of digital streaming platforms and download stores. When preparing a classical project, keep the following platform guidelines and metadata behaviors in mind:
Apple Music / iTunes Delivery Notice
-
Classical genre releases cannot be delivered to Apple Music or iTunes due to specific metadata ingestion requirements enforced by those platforms for classical catalogs.
-
Your release will still be delivered seamlessly to all other supported DSPs, including Spotify, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, TIDAL, Deezer, and regional platforms.
Composer Credits & Display Rules
-
Primary Artist Display: On certain digital storefronts and streaming services, the credited Composer may automatically appear as the primary artist on the release page.
-
DSP Taxonomies: This display structure is dictated by standard DSP-level classical music categorization algorithms and metadata policies, and cannot be manually overridden or modified once ingested.
-
Accurate Attribution: Always input full legal names in the Composer and Arranger fields during the upload process to ensure proper indexing, chart eligibility, and mechanical royalty collection.
