When it comes to unlimited music distribution, no one does it quite like Horus Music. We set ourselves apart from the rest, with unique features that put artists and labels first.
Some of the benefits of our music distribution service include:
We’re happy to answer any questions you may have, but by reading through our Frequently Asked Questions you may find the answers you were looking for.
We ask all our clients to prepare music releases and submit for delivery at least five (5) business days before earliest release date as specified in the metadata.
This means your new music will need to be uploaded and submitted for distribution in your Horus Music account at least 1 full week ahead of your chosen release date. However, we recommend allowing more lead time just in case our submissions review team spot any issues with your release.
If you are looking to update or takedown a release before it goes live on Spotify, we ask all our clients to submit requests to our customer support team more than two (2) business days before expected live date.
More information regarding Spotify’s guidelines can be read here.
We deal with all music and video release submissions as soon as possible. Most releases can be processed and sent out to stores within 24-hours / 1-working day from date of submission.
When a release is submitted, our distribution team will run a quality control check to make sure there are no issues with the audio file, metadata or release artwork. If all looks good the release is sent out to all platforms specified in the metadata and you will receive an automated email confirming this has been completed.
If there are any issues, our team will un-submit your release and an email notification will be sent to you with details as to why the release was un-submitted. The release will be moved back to draft mode for you to make the necessary corrections.
Once sent out to platforms, we have no control over how soon platforms will process the release ready for the chosen release date. Each platform has its own ingestion methods which can affect how long it takes for them to prepare your music ready for release.
If you have a release that needs to go live on a certain date, it is always best to give plenty of lead time. We recommend submitting your releases 4-6 weeks in advance.
You can cancel your subscription within 14 days of signing up without needing to give a reason, known as your cancellation period. Your cancellation period will then expire after 14 days from the day you paid your subscription fee and uploaded your first recording. If you choose to cancel your subscription during the cancellation period and we haven’t yet provided you services, we’ll reimburse you as soon as possible. If you choose to cancel your subscription outside of the 14 day cancellation period, we’re unable to refund your subscription fee.
Once you’ve cancelled your subscription, should you wish to distribute music in the future you will need to resubscribe. Take a look at our payment terms for more information on cancellations and refunds.
We currently support automatic royalty splits between a label and their artists. From just £30 a year, you’ll have access to our multi-profile technology which includes our automatic royalty splits feature, ideal for record labels.
We are currently working on adding more split options between artists collaborating on individual songs. This feature will ensure every collaborator gets paid the right amount without any additional fees.
If you have input wrong information or have mis-spelt anything within the metadata, we can easily issue metadata updates to for all platforms to update ASAP.
We can also send out release artwork updates if you wish to change the artwork on any of your releases.
If you require artwork or metadata to be updated, please Contact Us.
Sadly, once a release has been sent out to platforms, we cannot update audio files or change track-listings for releases. If you have uploaded the wrong audio file, or forgot to include a track from your release, you will need to re-upload your release and re-submit as a new release. From there we can take down the incorrect version of the release.
*Please note: each client is allowed x1 metadata / artwork update free of charge per month. If you require multiple changes to be made, we will charge £10+VAT per change.
The full list of any potential charges can be found within the Distribution Terms and Conditions you agree to when submitting your releases for distribution on your MMDZ account.
For our music distribution clients we provide pre-save links and smartlinks as part our service. When a release has been distributed to global platforms, head to the summary page for your release and you can activate the pre-save link (if not yet released) or the smartlink (if already release).
The smartlink will find your release live on key streaming platforms and list them on one webpage, so that your fans can listen to your music on the platform of their choice.
If a platform is not listed in the pre-save or smartlink, and you cannot find your release live on the platform – please Contact Us and we will be happy to assist,
Check out this helpful blog we have written which walks through the process of moving your catalog of releases over to Horus Music without losing streams on Spotify:
Yes, we do offer this, however the team will need to first turn this feature on for your account.
Please reach out to our Global Customer Service Team to request access to this feature.
To distribute a new release from your label account, you must first set up an artist sub-profile. Label accounts allow you to create sub-profiles for your artists and any others on your team.
All new audio and video releases are submitted for distribution in artist sub-profiles
When logged into your dashboard, head to Sub-profiles >> New Sub-Profile and create a profile for the main artist on your release.
Once saved and created you will be automatically taken to the Manage Sub-profiles page, where you will need to press “Select” on your new artist sub-profile.
This will take you into the artist sub-profile, where you can then head to Releases >> New Audio Release (or New Video Release).
This will start the release submission process.
To ensure that your new releases are being linked to the correct artist pages on Spotify and Apple Music before the releases go live, we have added a way to do this automatically through our delivery system.
If you are releasing music for the first time, or require a new artist page to be created, then please leave the ID sections blank.
Spotify:
To find your ID on Spotify, first you need to copy the URL or URI to your artist page. If you select the three dots, then “Share” > “Copy Link to Artist”, this will copy the URL to your page.
Your Spotify URL will show spotify.com/artist/ followed by numbers and letters ending in “?”
These numbers and letters are your Spotify artist ID.
For example:
URL: https://open.spotify.com/artist/5Y2oKw6AF3DJvM1WJpK2Z8?si=Ndr6DOW2QHCTkIp7h_DNmg
URI: spotify:artist:5Y2oKw6AF3DJvM1WJpK2Z8
The artist ID is: 5Y2oKw6AF3DJvM1WJpK2Z8
Apple Music:
To find your ID on Apple, first you need to copy the URL to your artist page. If you select the three dots, then “Share” > “Copy Link”, this will copy the URL to your page.
At the end of the URL is a series of numbers – this is your apple artist ID.
For example: URL: https://music.apple.com/gb/artist/her-burden/646291282 The artist ID is: 646291282

Absolutely. For a single annual fee, you can release as much music as you like without paying per release.
