Jack Righteous / Free release tool / Edition 3
Changing music distributors?Plan the handoff before you move.
A free, practical guide to moving an existing song or album to a new distributor. Record your release details, check the important matches, track delivery and verify what actually appears in music stores.
What this solves
Move with a record.Not with a guess.
Switching distributors can involve more than uploading the same song twice. Track identifiers, original audio, metadata, artist pages, store availability and royalty reporting all need attention.
This tool gives you a repeatable process for one transfer, with clear stop points when something needs verifying.
The working sequence
Six steps. One safer handoff.
Included in your free download
Start with the PDF. Use Excel if your move gets bigger.
01 / Guided checklist
15-page fillable PDF
93 fillable fields and checkboxes, release matching exercises, stop gates, store verification and a final transfer decision record. Save or print.
02 / Optional recordkeeping
Six-tab Excel tracker
Separate release, track, streaming-store and issue records, plus a START HERE guide and dashboard. Live counts start at zero; no fictional transfers are presented as results.
Delivery: One free ZIP containing the PDF and XLSX only. Complete the C$0 checkout, extract both files and open the PDF first. No subscription or Word file required.
Important before you start
Matching matters. Nothing is guaranteed.
Spotify can preserve play counts when new and old deliveries link, but streaming history, playlist positions and uninterrupted availability are not guaranteed. Reusing ISRCs and UPCs also depends on the receiving distributor. The guide includes official reference links and prompts you to confirm your own providers' current rules.
