How to Distribute AI Music in 2026 | Module 4 Support
MODULE 4 SUPPORT · DISTRIBUTION DELIVERY
Distribute the Version You Have Already Decided to Release
Distribution is delivery, not a separate Creator Academy stage. Use this page only after Module 4 has produced one approved master, a coherent rights record and a deliberate RELEASE decision.
Prerequisite: the release package is stable
Rights & evidence
- AI tool, plan and creation record
- Uploaded-source permissions
- Samples, collaborators and performer records
- Voice consent where relevant
Metadata
- Artist and contributor identities
- Genre, language and explicit status
- Credits and songwriter information
- Required AI/synthetic-media fields
Artwork
- Correct square master art
- Rights to every included element
- No misleading endorsement or identity use
Distribution rule: uploading a track does not prove copyright ownership, clear third-party material, guarantee discovery or make the work eligible for Content ID.
Choose a distributor by fit—not familiarity
Compare the current pricing model, catalogue persistence, artist limits, support, store coverage, payout/admin features and AI-content policy for the exact project. Policies and pricing change, so verify current terms before purchase or submission.
Recurring-release model
Subscription distributors can fit creators releasing repeatedly who are comfortable maintaining an ongoing account relationship.
Per-release model
A per-release service can fit creators who prefer a transaction tied to each release rather than an ongoing subscription.
DistroKid route
If DistroKid fits the project, enter the upload with the release package already complete. Do not use the distributor form to decide rights, credits, artwork or song identity for the first time.
Good fit signals
- You expect repeated releases.
- Your artist identity and metadata are stable.
- You can document the rights chain.
- You can answer AI-related declarations accurately.
Pause first
- The track is still experimental.
- Your rights file is incomplete.
- A voice, beat, sample or upload source is unresolved.
- You expect distribution itself to create an audience.

Complete the upload carefully
- Select the exact artist identity. Keep spelling and contributor roles consistent.
- Upload the approved master and artwork. Do not submit a version you already expect to replace.
- Enter metadata exactly. Confirm title, contributors, songwriter information, language, genre and explicit status.
- Complete AI disclosures accurately. Do not invent human contributors or understate AI use where a platform asks.
- Review rights declarations before agreeing. An upload declaration is not the place to guess.
- Save submission evidence. Preserve receipts, identifiers, declarations and delivered metadata.
Verify delivery after submission
Artist mapping
Confirm the release landed on the correct artist/profile pages.
Metadata & artwork
Confirm title, version, artwork, explicit status and available credits.
Identifiers
Record ISRC, UPC and other assigned identifiers with the project record.
Content ID
Treat Content ID as a separate eligibility and rights decision rather than an automatic consequence of distribution.
Distribution is complete when delivery is traceable
For this Module 4 support workflow, distribution is complete when the approved master is delivered as intended, the public mapping and metadata are checked, identifiers are recorded and the submission evidence has been added to the project record. Broader release growth, campaigns and performance optimization belong later in Stage 4.
Jack Righteous provides creator education and release-planning guidance, not legal representation or distributor account support. Verify current official terms before purchasing, uploading or making a rights declaration.
