Trebel
Yes — LabelGrid delivers your releases to TREBEL. Distribution is included on every distribution plan, for record labels, distributors, and independent artists alike.
TREBEL AT A GLANCE
- Typical go-live: timing varies by platform — submit at least 2 weeks ahead and verify current TREBEL processing time with LabelGrid before setting a release date.
- What TREBEL is: an ad-supported music app whose distinguishing feature is legal, offline-first downloads — listener access is funded by advertising, not a subscription.
- Who it reaches: data-constrained, download-first listeners, with notable adoption in Latin America and among US Hispanic audiences.
- Metadata: standard delivery identifiers apply — ISRC per track, UPC per release, and ISNI for artist-name disambiguation.
- Audio & artwork: verify current TREBEL support — TREBEL does not publish field-level ingestion specs, so LabelGrid’s delivery specification governs.
- Royalties: tracked in LabelGrid’s royalty accounting with automated splits from the Basic plan up.
