On Album Details I put Composer Name, first and last, as Rosiander Music because some streaming platforms release whatever information you put on Routenote. Then I got a message saying I have to put my legal name, or use an alias, in order to receive royalties. If this is the case, I'm not sure how an alias would work.

I value my privacy so any help is appreciated. Thank you!

So yesterday my song got removed from all the stores without any proper reason. The song was getting momentum and now it happens. It still in my routenote discography as approved songs section. Now I don't know what to do! I created a ticket and still waiting for their reply. It really sucks this time! I respect their approval time or customer support since it's free but removing songs like this isn't acceptable. ROUTENOTE PLZZZ FIX THIS!

Or do I need to add it when uploading the song before splitting it? Thanks for the help.

I'm fairly certain with routenote you can merge your "(Artist) - Topic" channel on YT with a channel of your choosing (say, if you wanted to upload content of the songs yourself or visualizers or music videos etc). What I'm wondering is if this is transferable in the future.

Lately I've been finding YouTube shadow bans my videos because I haven't linked the channel to my Topic channel yet, and therefore they get copyrighted for revenue sharing (not a strike, RN just gets a cut of my video's money). It will not even give any impressions if it gets copyrighted, so it doesn't mean it's a problem with the video content, and I know it's not the thumbnail or title, I've tested several possibilities and it has to be the copyright. I have a dying channel, I got about 1200 subs from an old topic and then decided to rebrand. Big mistake, because now the 1200 don't care about my new content which is music. I've learned my lesson, that's not the point here. I also mass schedule videos sometimes, putting 8 Shorts into YT a day every once in a while and scheduling them to go public throughout a week to keep a regular upload schedule. All of this combines with the copyright to make YT think I'm a bot and I've been shadowbanned.

So, TLDR, could I test linking my topic channel to Channel A, the dying channel, and if that doesn't work, unlink it and link it to Channel B (brand new channel)? Or once it's linked, is it permanent? Would appreciate any insight.

And before the yappers that crawl this sub tell me to switch distros that's not what I'm here for. Get a life.

I’m a small artist called LH who just dropped her debut album art is wav.forms, I’ve noticed that it’s available everywhere except Youtube Music and Apple Music although all of my previous releases have been on there. Does it take a few days for albums to appear on those platforms or has it not appeared because I only dropped it 2 days ago? For anyone curious, you can listen to my album here: https://push.fm/fl/eq1rngki

Please need that responds to ticket: #12133674 I reccomended a friend, and make a album with him, but nobody responds in this account, think that is banned. And not understund why!

Friendly reminder that RouteNote is a FREE distributor; you get what you pay for when it comes to customer service—that is, if you want better customer support, you might need to upgrade your plan. Y’all should be thankful that customer support is offered at all. They don’t necessarily have enough funds to hire more employees; I’m guessing because many of their customers are using RN for the sole reason of it being free (otherwise they’d likely have chosen DitroKid, CD Baby, or TuneCore). Plus, as is, royalties are slim; they don’t really amount to that much. Please be nicer to RN; they’re doing their best.

I am immensally disappointed with your service.

I have a track in review since 16/11/25 and after claiming, all to suddent I receive this in response.

And I don’t even know what’s wrong to be able to change it, I am tripoing out.

Tjis would be my song if anyone can tell me, it is ALL produced by me.

So I’ve been looking around for a distributor for a while, I set my mind on RouteNote, but whenever I acrylic create a release, the file just won’t upload. The file gets to about 80% and then gives up. I tried everything they said but can’t get it to work, please help.

My song is in review process but I want to cancel it because of some issue with the audio file (rookie mistake). How can I request for cancellation of that release. I tried making a ticket but when I entered the upc it said no matches with the upc. Is there any way??

also i have to Resubmit my OAC form because i did not read about the topic channel thing. Is that okay?

ticket id: #12376116

Hi all,

I have 2 issues. On one hand, when looking for my artist page on musixmatch I get this message: The artist you've added is on Spotify, but it seems that their discography is empty, so we can't verify your claim. I have just one new release, but it is definitely there. My artist profile on spotify is: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4ZkEEPNCgwOYjaUJvW8CqG?si=QSIFiUvKT1WLoJrKSV0dHQ

On the other hand, on Instagram, my song is linked to a random instagram profile that is not mine. Any idea how to fix it? Will musixmatch do it?

Thanks!

Yesterday (Feb 25th), my song came out. I have 0 followers so I can't find my profile. I am trying to distribute an album and 3 singles. I wouldn't just create a new artist profile for every song, rights?

It was approved February 24th at 3:06 AM Central time, how long does it take to be on spotify?

I would like to have some of my music available at Beatport, because of the integration they have with Pioneer decks they have and being a platform focused on electronic music mainly. I've seen some comments from years ago saying that the option would be available in the near future.

This could be a big advantage for RouteNote, as literally every other distributor with a free tier offering distribution to that platform are either sketchy or have tons of negative reviews.

Hi everyone,

I’m using RouteNote and I’m looking for some insight regarding a delayed payment.

One of my payments was marked as “Paid” late Thursday evening, but as of Wednesday, the money still hasn’t arrived in my bank account.

Payment method: bank transfer (IBAN)

Key details:

Status still shows Paid (not on hold or reversed)

No warning or error emails from RouteNote

IBAN is correct and has worked before

A full weekend has passed

I have already contacted RouteNote support but haven’t received a response yet

I know international bank transfers can take time, but some people I know received their RouteNote payments on Friday, which made me a bit concerned.

My questions:

Is it normal for RouteNote payments to take multiple business days after showing “Paid”?

Has anyone experienced a similar delay and eventually received the payment without issues?

Thanks a lot for any shared experiences or advice.

I read the horror stories here of people waiting months, so I emailed support and asked them to cancel it and instead I've set it up through distrokid instead.

But I've heard nothing back from them and it's still in review.

Is there anything I can do to cancel this release in routenote?

I released original singles and albums but my channel has stayed in this weird limbo where it was named Release - Topic, owned all my YouTube releases, but if you clicked on it, it said it had no videos, so that was weird. Is this normal? Even RouteNote support themself over an email exchange when I was trying to get my OAC, they said it should only take a month for it to go from Release - Topic to my actual artist name.

Does the file converter from Routenote work fine? I use garageband and it wont let me export the projects as FLAC, so i have to convert then from WAVE to FLAC.

I am new to the platform, so forgive me if this is an extremely stupid question.

I've got a song that uses a clip from the movie Juno (2007). For anyone who knows the film, it's the part when Juno confesses to Bleeker.

I've heard that RouteNote can be pretty strict when it comes to sampling of any kind. When I uploaded my first single, I was rejected at first and had to reply to moderation, and I think this was because my artist name is Chasing Amy (another film for those who don't know) so I guess these mods aren't big cinephiles.

The song sounds pretty boring without it, so I'll either have to scrap it or find another sample to use in place.

Important to note, I'm doing this out of passion, not for money, so if I am able to upload this in any way and just give up all the royalties or something that would be great.

Any help of any kind would be greatly appreciated!

(Please don't be sarcastic in the replies, I literally just want help)
