Distributors differ in contracts, royalties and support. Use these points to compare them.
| Topic | What to check | Where AUDENIQ is heading |
|---|---|---|
| Contract | Is it exclusive, or can you use other services too? | Non-exclusive distribution |
| Rights | Who keeps the rights to your recordings? | Rights stay with the rights holders |
| Royalties | When and on what basis are you paid? | Monthly, following platform reports and confirmed royalties |
| Support | In which language can you get help? | Korean-language support |
| Transfers | Is your existing release history kept when you move? | Keeping ISRC, UPC and release information |
| Reach | Which platforms and countries do they deliver to? | Korean direct agreements first, announced once confirmed |
AUDENIQ's column shows the direction we set while preparing to launch. Actual terms will be announced at launch.
You prepare the materials a release needs: audio files, cover art, artist name, track titles and credits, and the release schedule. AUDENIQ is developing a system that checks audio quality and release metadata and tracks distribution status.
Basic artist profile linking, delivery of the lyrics you provide and release promotion tools are also in preparation. Required materials and the scope of support will be announced at launch.
AUDENIQ is prioritizing direct contracts with major Korean music services. It then plans to broaden its reach through direct international contracts and Merlin membership and licensing.
Pursuing a contract is not the same as being able to distribute. Supported music platforms and countries will be announced on the official website once contracts are confirmed.
AUDENIQ is preparing distributor transfer support that keeps existing ISRCs, UPCs and release information. The plan is to confirm release and matching status on the new distribution route before you end delivery through your previous distributor.
The actual transfer method depends on existing contracts, whether the metadata matches and each music platform’s policies. The approach is to check the new route first, before taking any existing release down.
Not yet. AUDENIQ is preparing for launch, and will announce when sign-up and distribution applications open on its official website and social channels.
AUDENIQ’s standard distribution is being prepared on a non-exclusive basis. Rights to your recordings stay with the rights holders, and AUDENIQ receives only the permissions needed for distribution within the scope of the agreement.
No. Publishing is a separate service that you choose and contract for on its own. AUDENIQ will explain the scope of distribution and of royalty administration for compositions and lyrics separately.
YOUR MUSIC. YOUR NEXT.
We welcome questions about the service
and collaboration proposals from music partners.
When applications open and the confirmed scope of support
