The freedom to choose a distributor has never been the problem. The freedom to change one has.

Every time a label moves to a new distributor, the conventional process demands the same thing: start from scratch. Audio files sourced from wherever they happen to live. Metadata retyped from old documents or memory. All of it re-uploaded, release by release, before a single track can reach a streaming platform again.

Getting the timing wrong between a takedown at the old distributor and re-delivery at the new one can erase a label's accumulated playcounts. On streaming platforms, where algorithmic visibility is built on listening history, years of audience-building can disappear in a procedural oversight.

MassiveMusic's Catalogue Transfer service sits between the outgoing distributor and the incoming one, handling the transfer so neither the label nor the distributor has to source, compile or re-upload a single file.

Seamless Transfer to a New Distributor

Every audio file is delivered as a high-quality FLAC, DDEX-compliant file, pulled directly from our licensed catalogue. The transition between distributors is choreographed to protect what a label has spent years building: takedown and re-delivery timed precisely so labels arrive with their playcount history intact.

Your Catalogue History, Complete and Verified

For most labels, MassiveMusic already holds the complete record of their output: audio files, metadata and rights information, accurately structured and ready to deliver. Labels don't have to track down files from a decade ago or verify whether metadata is complete. We already have it.
