How quickly will my music be live on platforms?
When you distribute your music through MRM India, the timeline for your release to go live on various platforms usually ranges from a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on the streaming services and stores. Here’s a general overview:
1. MRM India’s Internal Review: After submitting your music and completing all the necessary steps (like uploading audio files, artwork, and metadata), MRM India conducts a quality review. This process can take up to 1 week, though it’s often completed faster.
2. Major Streaming Platforms (Spotify, Apple Music, JioSaavn, Gaana): Once your music passes MRM India’s review, it’s delivered to streaming platforms. It typically takes 2-7 days for your release to appear on most major platforms, though some may require a bit more time.
3. Regional and Specialized Platforms: Distribution to certain regional or niche platforms might take up to 2-3 weeks, as processing times can vary, especially for platforms focusing on regional languages and genres.
For Indian independent artists and labels, it's advisable to submit your release at least 4-6 weeks before your intended release date. This allows for potential delays and provides time for pre-release promotions, helping to maximise your reach and impact.
