We are considering your platform for music distribution and have a few important questions before making a decision.
Pre-order on Beatport.
It is critical for us to have the ability to set up pre-orders for our releases on Beatport. Could you please confirm whether this is possible through your platform? If so, what are the specific requirements and conditions (e.g., lead time, exclusivity, settings)?
Label registration.
We plan to release our music under our own label. We would like to know how label registration works through iMusician — what steps are required, and does the label name appear correctly on Beatport and other platforms from the very first release?
Subscription plan.
We noticed that AMPLIFY Pro is the recommended plan for labels. Is this correct? What specific features does it offer for label owners — especially regarding Beatport distribution, pre-order setup, and label branding?
We want to make sure that we can release under our own label name, have full control over our catalog, and access the promotional tools we need.
hi @tomkynd , Did you already see this FAQ about preorders, this FAQ, this FAQ and this FAQ about labels in the subscription plans and this page about amplify plans? There you should find everything you need to proceed in the way that best suits your needs
Thank you for your previous reply and for sharing the FAQs.
I have reviewed the information, but I would like to clarify a few details before choosing a plan and moving forward with our release.
We currently manage one artist, Tom Kynd, and our goal is to create and release music under our own label name.
Our main requirements are:
one main artist (Tom Kynd) at the moment;
our own custom label name;
registration of this label on Beatport;
distribution of our releases to Beatport;
the possibility to set up a Beatport pre-order.
Could you please clarify the following:
Is AMPLIFY+ with the minimum of 2 main artists the correct plan for registering our own custom label on Beatport?
What is the current annual price for AMPLIFY+ with 2 main artists?
Are there any additional fees for creating/registering our custom label on Beatport, or is label registration included in the AMPLIFY+ subscription?
Once we subscribe to AMPLIFY+, can we immediately submit our custom label for registration on Beatport?
How long does the Beatport label registration currently take in practice? Your FAQ mentions up to one month, but we would like to understand the current expected timeframe.
Can we prepare and submit our release while the label registration is being processed, or do we need to wait until the label is approved before submitting the release?
Once our label is approved, can we set up a Beatport pre-order for the release? If yes, is the 7-business-day processing time mentioned in your FAQ the only additional timeframe we should allow?
If our goal is to release as soon as possible, what would be the fastest recommended workflow from subscribing to AMPLIFY+ to having our release available for Beatport pre-order under our own label?
We currently have only one artist, so we would like to choose the most cost-effective plan that still allows us to have our own registered label on Beatport.
