GOOD QUESTIONS. CLEAR ANSWERS.

Before you
hit play.

A few things you might be wondering.

Visit the help centre
Is it free to create an account and upload music?

Yes. Account creation, private drafts and studio review requests are free here. Our proposed distribution model has no upfront or annual fee and an 85% artist / 15% platform share of net receipts. Distribution starts only under a signed agreement and an activated provider connection.

Do I keep ownership of my music?

You retain the rights you own. Uploading or submitting a draft does not transfer your master ownership. A distribution agreement will define the non-exclusive permissions, territories, duration and withdrawal terms. You must also have the permissions needed for lyrics, composition, performers, samples, beats and artwork.

Which platforms will my release reach?

The planned network includes Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, JioSaavn and Meta music services. The final store list, territories and eligibility depend on the contracted backend. We do not currently claim an active 150+ store network or direct partnerships with these services.

How do the 85/15 split and payouts work?

The proposed split is 85% for the artist and 15% for Folk Music Studio, calculated on net receipts credited by the provider, before applicable artist-level withholding. The proposed payout threshold is ₹1,000, subject to verified onboarding and the signed agreement. Reporting often arrives later than listening activity; the actual cycle is provider-specific. No wallet, withdrawals or royalty reports are active yet.

What audio and artwork should I upload?

Use stereo WAV or FLAC at 16-bit or 24-bit and 44.1 or 48 kHz. New cover uploads must be exactly 3000 × 3000 pixels in JPG or PNG. Keep phone numbers, social handles and unrelated logos off the cover. This workspace currently accepts 35 MB per audio file, 8 MB per cover and 250 MB total. Use lossless FLAC or ask the studio about larger masters.

How long does a release take to go live?

You can submit a complete release for studio review now. Review is separate from store delivery. We do not guarantee 48–72 hour delivery or a 2–5 day release. When distribution is activated, the team will confirm lead times and your requested release date under the provider’s rules.
