TuneCore

aid: tunecore
name: TuneCore
description: TuneCore is a Brooklyn, New York based independent music distribution and publishing administration company founded
  in 2006 (as YourTunes, Inc., rebranded TuneCore in 2008) and acquired by French music company Believe in 2015. TuneCore
  lets self-releasing artists and labels deliver recorded music to 150+ digital stores and streaming services — Spotify, Apple
  Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, TikTok, Tidal, Deezer, Beatport, and others — while retaining 100% of their rights and
  master ownership, in exchange for a flat annual distribution fee starting at $24.99/year for unlimited releases. TuneCore
  Publishing Administration registers compositions with performance rights organizations, mechanical rights societies, and
  digital service providers worldwide to collect songwriter royalties, sync, and neighboring rights income. Additional services
  include the TuneCore Accelerator artist development program, TuneCore Social (monetization on TikTok, Reels, and Shorts),
  TuneCore Direct Advance (royalty-backed capital, powered by RoyFi), mastering, and Splits for collaborator revenue sharing.
  TuneCore operates across 5 continents with local teams in 15+ countries through Believe's global network. There is no current
  public TuneCore developer API, SDK, or partner portal — an earlier white-label REST/XML "TuneCore Direct" partner API existed
  circa 2008-2012 (with a community Ruby gem `tunecore_direct`) but is no longer actively documented or promoted. TuneCore's
  public-facing surface is the artist web app at web.tunecore.com and the support/help center; any current B2B integrations
  run through Believe's enterprise partnerships.
