How to distribute music to YouTube Music

1. Create a free account: Sign up with your email for a 7-day free trial. No card needed.

2. Upload your release: Add your WAV or FLAC audio, 3000×3000px cover art and the release details: title, artists, genre and copyright lines.

3. Choose YouTube Music: Pick YouTube Music and the other stores you want in the submit step. Set the release date at least 2 weeks out so every store has time to ingest it.

4. Pick a plan and submit: Choose a yearly plan from $15. We review your release and deliver it, typically within 24 hours, so it can go live on YouTube Music on your release date.

Auto Art Tracks

YouTube Music automatically surfaces your official Art Track from YouTube — no separate upload needed.

Official Artist Channel

Your YouTube Music profile links directly to your OAC, unifying all your content in one verified hub.

Google Assistant

Your music is playable via Google Assistant voice commands across Android, smart displays, and Nest speakers.

Personalized Mixes

YouTube Music's algorithm creates "Your Mix" and "Discover Mix" playlists — your track gets surfaced to relevant listeners.

YouTube Premium Upside

Premium subscribers generate higher per-stream rates. YouTube Music is bundled with all YouTube Premium plans.

Upload + Official

Listeners can upload personal files; your official release appears prominently and is clearly marked as official.

Spilix delivers your music to YouTube Music and 100+ other stores from a single upload. You keep 100% ownership of your music.

Questions we get a lot.

How long until my release goes live?

After you submit, the release is reviewed and delivered to your chosen stores — typically within 24 hours. Each store then has its own ingestion window, so set the release date at least 2 weeks ahead to avoid release-day delays.

Does the 7-day trial need a credit card?

No. Sign up with just your email and explore the dashboard for 7 days: build releases as drafts, transfer your catalog, set up artists and smart links. Pushing a release to stores and buying add-ons require a paid plan — pick one whenever you’re ready. Nothing is charged automatically.

Do I keep ownership of my music?

Always. You grant Spilix a non-exclusive licence only so we can deliver to the stores you choose, and you can request a takedown at any time.

Can I switch from another distributor and keep my UPC/ISRC?

Yes. Tick "This release was distributed before" in the editor and enter your existing UPC and original release date so your streams and codes carry over instead of creating a duplicate.
