SYMPHONIC AT A GLANCE

  • Requirement: you need your own Symphonic Distribution account — this delivery is not part of standard LabelGrid distribution.
  • How it works: if you hold your own Symphonic Distribution agreement, LabelGrid can deliver on your behalf under it — you manage the release from your Symphonic account.
  • What Symphonic is: Symphonic Distribution, an independent music distributor.
  • Delivery method: a direct-deal (SOBO) delivery under your own Symphonic agreement, separate from and independent of your LabelGrid DSP/DDEX distribution — Custom Distribution and API plans; contact us to set it up.
  • Metadata: your release carries standard recording identifiers such as ISRC and a 12- or 13-digit UPC.
  • Royalties & reporting: handled through your own Symphonic account — confirm current details with Symphonic.

LABELGRID

LabelGrid Integration

If you have your own Symphonic Distribution agreement, LabelGrid can deliver on your behalf under it. We ensure your metadata and audio meet the technical standards for smooth ingestion.

Getting Started

Delivering under your own Symphonic Distribution agreement is a direct-deal (SOBO) delivery: it is available on Custom Distribution and API plans, and our team sets the feed up — it is not a box you tick when scheduling a release. Contact LabelGrid to arrange it, and prepare your audio files, artwork, and metadata according to our specifications.

LabelGrid provides the tools you need beyond distribution: catalog management for your metadata and releases, royalty accounting with automated artist statements from the Basic plan up, and promotion tools including smart links and pre-saves.
