Music Streams on our partner stores (such as Spotify, Apple Music, etc.).

However, it’s important to note that the copyright for all designs created by us remains with our service. These designs can only be used commercially if they are distributed by us.

Does Replused Records accept all artists?
Answer:
Yes, we welcome all artists, especially those looking for industry support and aiming to get their music on streaming platforms and monetize it. However, we are very selective about who we work with. To release music with us, you must have exclusive rights and ownership of each song. The following types of music are ineligible for release with us:
Cover songs of other artists' work.
Music where the copyright has expired (e.g., public domain works).
Arrangements of musical works where you cannot collect royalties, such as arrangements of Western Classical pieces.
Tracks without a proper, legal composer name (as required by most agencies and streaming platforms).
Music with existing publishing or record label agreements (unless clearly communicated and agreed upon with all parties involved).

How long does distribution take?
Answer:
Once we receive your releases (songs, singles, or albums), we aim to moderate them within one business week, provided no further action is required from you during the process. If your release is returned for changes, this may delay the distribution timeline. To avoid such delays, we recommend reviewing the rules regarding cover images and music copyright beforehand.
Typically, it takes 1 to 4 weeks for a release to be distributed. Spotify is usually the fastest platform, often making releases available within 1 to 2 weeks after our approval. If you wish to schedule a release for a specific date, we suggest submitting it to us at least two months in advance to ensure it goes live on the exact date you want.
