Migrating a record label created on Beatport through Ditto Music to imusician (not the music)

Ask a Question Distribution & Releases
1

Dear IMUSICIAN team,

I am responsible for the record label Home Of Groovers , recently registered on Beatport through Ditto Music.

I am considering the possibility of changing distributors, as I am not satisfied with Ditto’s way of working nor with the customer service I have received.

(I HAVE READ THAT WHEN CREATING THE RECORD LABEL FROM DITTO OR ANOTHER DISTRIBUTOR IN BEATPORT, IT IS SUBJECT TO THE DISTRIBUTOR THAT CREATED IT, AND IF I WANT TO CHANGE DISTRIBUTOR, I HAVE TO RELEASE THE LABEL FROM DITTO FIRST. I ALREADY SENT AN EMAIL REQUESTING INFORMATION TO BEATPORT AND IMUSICIAN IS THE ALTERNATIVE I HAD IN THINKING OF, SINCE IMUSICIAN ALSO ALLOWS WHITELISTING OF YOUTUBE CHANNELS AND DITTO MUSIC DOES NOT ALLOW IT.)

Therefore, I would like to receive information about the steps, requirements, and conditions to release or unlink my label from Ditto Music on the Beatport platform, so I can make an informed decision and, in case I decide to change distributors, continue releasing music under Home Of Groovers without issues.

I would greatly appreciate your assistance and look forward to your response.

Kind regards,

Hi @joan :wave:

Thanks for reaching out and for your interest in iMusician.

Beatport only allows one label page per digital distributor.

If your label Home Of Groovers is currently managed on Beatport by another distributor (in this case, Ditto Music), the process would be:

  • Contact your current distributor (Ditto Music) and inform them of your intention to switch distributors for your label on Beatport.

  • Once they confirm that they can release your label from their account, let us know so we can initiate the takeover on our side.

Please note that in order to request a label switch on Beatport, you would need to be on our AMPLIFY+ plan. You can find more about our subscriptions on this page.

After the switch is approved, you will be able to continue releasing music under your label without interruption.

Regarding YouTube, it’s possible to whitelist your YouTube channel, so that your own uploads won’t be claimed by Content ID.

I hope this helps! :slight_smile:

Hi! Thanks @Fabiola for responding. I already asked Ditto Support, and this was their response: “Thanks for reaching out! Your new distributor needs to request a transfer to Beatport, and we’ll approve it.” I also spoke with Beatport Support, and their response was practically the same. If I understood correctly, you (IMUSICIAN) make the request to Beatport, and Ditto Music has to approve it. Can you tell me how long this process takes? Thanks. EDIT: IM INTERESTED IN YOUR AMPLIFY PRO PLAN…THING ITS NOT A PROBLEM :slight_smile:

Hey @joan,

Can you please share the link to your label on Beatport ? We’ll then forward the transfer request to your previous distributor. In general, this is effective within 1-2 weeks :slight_smile:

Regarding our AMPLIFY Pro subscription plan, you can find more details on the offer here !

Hi @Carlos

Thank you for your instructions regarding the Beatport label transfer. I’m not ready to initiate the process yet, but I plan to do so in the near future.

Could you please advise how I should proceed when I’m ready? Should I reopen this thread, or send an email to a specific address?

Thanks in advance for your guidance.

Best regards

Just share here the link to your label when you’re ready and we’ll then forward the transfer request to your previous distributor :+1:
