Trebel
Market: Latin America and US Hispanic audiences
Overview
Trebel is a free, ad-supported music service that allows users to download licensed tracks for offline listening without a subscription. Aimed at markets where mobile data is expensive and disposable income is limited, Trebel provides a legal alternative to piracy that is funded by advertising and still pays rights holders.
Market / Platform Focus
Trebel has grown notably in Latin America and serves US Hispanic audiences and younger listeners for whom offline listening matters most. The platform combines free listening with legal offline downloads.
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.

How long until my release is live on TREBEL?
Timing depends on TREBEL’s current processing. LabelGrid processes and reviews your release, then delivers the feed to TREBEL, and TREBEL ingests it on its own schedule. Verify the current turnaround with LabelGrid before committing to a specific release date — and submit at least 2 weeks ahead to allow for review and ingestion.
