LABELGRID
Delivery and timing
LabelGrid Integration
Through LabelGrid, your music can be submitted for inclusion in Rythm’s catalog, making it available for live sessions and group listening events. We deliver your release with standard identifiers and rights metadata.
Getting Started
To release on Rythm via LabelGrid, simply prepare your audio, artwork, and metadata according to our specifications, select Rythm as a distribution partner when scheduling your release, and our system will handle delivery, verification, and rights processing.
How long until my release is live on Rythm?
Go-live timing on Rythm varies by delivery. LabelGrid processes and reviews your release, then delivers it to Rythm through standard distribution, and Rythm processes it on its own schedule. Because processing time isn’t fixed, confirm the current Rythm processing time before planning a specific release date, and submit with a comfortable lead time.
LabelGrid provides the tools you need beyond distribution: catalog management for your metadata and releases, royalty accounting, with artist payouts from the Basic plan up, and promotion tools including smart links and pre-saves.
