INDIESCUSSION: DELIVERY AS A COMMODITY: WHY GETTING MUSIC TO DSPS SHOULDN’T BREAK THE BANK

Online
Thursday, May 9, 2024
1:00 PM – 2:00 PM EDT

Today, independent labels and artists are required to pay a premium to get their music uploaded to DSPs for their fans to hear. While that makes sense when distributors are providing additional services along with delivery, the time has come to recognize the act of simply sending music to DSPs as a commodity. By doing so, we free independent labels and artists to spend their money where it really matters: promoting that music so people actually listen to it. In this webinar, Edward Ginis, Co-Founder and Chief Client Officer at OpenPlay will share how OpenPlay is helping to make this a reality, all while providing a best-in-class content management system that keeps users organized and compliant with industry standards.
