How Rythora distribution works

From upload to live on major stores and Rythora Listen, the full journey of a release.

Updated Oct 7, 2026

The release journey

Create your release in the Workstation upload wizard: metadata, artwork, audio, credits, schedule/pricing and store selection.
Submit for review. Automated checks flag anything incomplete immediately; a Rythora reviewer then verifies rights, identity and store compliance.
Approval. Once approved, your release is packaged in industry-standard DDEX and queued for delivery.
Delivery. Rythora delivers through our distribution partner feed to the stores you selected, and always to Rythora Listen.
Live. Each store confirms ingestion. Track per-store status in the Delivery Report on your release page.

You can deliver to Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, TikTok, Instagram / Facebook, Deezer, TIDAL, Pandora and iHeartRadio.

Rythora Listen is always included. When you distribute with Rythora, your release goes live on Listen automatically, there is no separate opt-in.

See *Stores we deliver to* for the full list.

Automated checks: instant
Human review: typically 1-3 business days
Store ingestion after delivery: 2-7 days (Spotify and Apple Music are usually fastest)

We recommend submitting at least 3 weeks before your intended release date when you want editorial pitching or pre-saves.
