How to Distribute Your Music on Spotify & Apple Music Step by Step

Releasing your music on major platforms like Spotify and Apple Music doesn't require a record label. With Arinas Music, you can distribute your tracks worldwide entirely for free.

Step 1: Prepare Your Assets

Before you upload, make sure you have your audio files ready in high-quality WAV format (16-bit, 44.1 kHz is standard). You also need a square artwork image (at least 3000x3000 pixels in JPG or PNG format) containing only your artist name and release title.

Step 2: Sign Up and Create Your Release

Go to the Arinas Music dashboard, click "Create Release," and input your metadata. This includes your track titles, featured artists, genre, and release date. Make sure all spelling is exact, as correcting metadata after distribution can take time.

Step 3: Upload and Select Stores

Upload your audio tracks and cover art, then select the platforms you want to deliver to. Arinas Music delivers to over 150 stores, including Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, TikTok, and Instagram. Once done, submit your release for review!
