  • Every member’s split, shown and paid, with their own login.
  • The marketing kit: a link page, artwork and a release-week plan for each release.

What “stays up” means

Your music doesn’t come down because a card expired

  1. You stop paying: your releases stay in every store. We keep 15% of the store money until you renew; then it’s back to 100%.
  2. You can still log in, see the Money Map and get paid. Only new releases wait until you renew.
  3. If Split n Spin ever closes or changes delivery partner, every band gets 90 days’ notice and a full export: audio, artwork, details, ISRCs and UPCs. We move your releases to another distributor with the same codes, so play counts carry over.
  4. We only take a release down for fraud, a copyright claim or a store’s own decision, and we tell you why. Never because a payment was late.

Questions

What does “per band” mean?

One price covers the whole band, however many people are in it. A five-piece pays what a solo artist pays. Every member gets their own login and sees their own split. Side projects with the same members can go on the same account, up to 3 artist names.

What happens if we stop paying?

Your releases stay in the stores. While the band is unpaid, we keep 15% of its store money to cover storage and payouts; renew and it goes back to 100%. You can still log in, see the Money Map and get paid. You just can’t send new releases. And if Split n Spin ever closes or changes delivery partner, every band gets 90 days’ notice and a full export, and we move your releases to another distributor with the same codes, so play counts carry over.

Which stores do releases go to?

The main ones: Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, TikTok, Instagram and Facebook, Amazon Music, Deezer and Tidal, plus others. The full list depends on our delivery partner (the company that delivers releases to stores for us), and we’ll publish it before launch.

How much of our royalties do we keep?

On the Band plan, 100% of what the stores pay for your recordings. One exception: on YouTube Content ID, the system that finds your recording in other people’s videos, the delivery partner keeps 20%. Songwriting royalties from BMI, ASCAP, The MLC and SoundExchange never pass through us: they pay you directly, and the Money Map shows whether they’re set up.

Can we use AI tools?

Yes, if you say so. Every track asks one question: did any AI tool make part of this? No, a little, a lot, or all of it. Tuning, noise removal and mastering plug-ins don’t count. We accept the first three and pass your answer to the stores, which now ask for it. We don’t accept tracks made entirely by AI, and never a real person’s voice without their written permission.

When does it launch?

There’s no date yet. A private beta for about 100 bands comes first, and it starts with people on the waitlist. Join the waitlist and you’ll hear first.

Is the price final?

No. $36 a year is the plan, and it may change before launch. Nobody is charged anything until then, and people on the waitlist hear about any change before anyone pays.
