Updated: November 2026 · Diskover Team
Quick answer: The music distributors most used by independent artists in Spain are Diskover, DistroKid, TuneCore, Amuse, CD Baby and RouteNote. They all get your music onto Spotify, Apple Music or TikTok; what changes is the price, the share you keep, the speed and the service. Diskover is the option built for artists in Spain: it releases on Spotify in under 24 hours, has human support and offices in Madrid, and does not delete your music if you stop paying.
Choosing a distributor is one of the first big decisions of your career. Almost all of them promise the same thing («your music on every platform»), so the difference lies in the small print: how much you pay, what share of royalties you keep, what happens if you stop paying and whether there is anyone on the other end when you have a problem. Here is our comparison of the best music distributors for artists in Spain in 2026.

1. Diskover: the distributor for artists in Spain
We are an independent distributor based in Madrid and we work with artists from their first single right up to established names in urban music. What sets us apart:
- Speed: your music on Spotify in under 24 hours.
- Human, fast support: you talk to people, not a bot or a form that takes days.
- Offices in Madrid (Luis I 86, 28031): if you are in Spain, you can come and see us.
- Your music does not disappear: if you stop paying, we do not delete it; it moves to the free plan with an 80/20 split.
- More than distribution: Unlimited and PRO artists get 10% off at Diskover Studios, at our film set and on micro-influencer campaigns with ZYNK.
- A risk-free start: you can try 3 songs free and then pay from €1.99/month. ISRC and UPC included.
2. DistroKid
Very popular internationally thanks to its annual fee and unlimited releases. Bear in mind, though, that if you stop paying the subscription your music may be taken down from the platforms. We compare them point by point in Diskover vs DistroKid.
3. TuneCore
One of the veteran distributors, with an annual subscription. You keep 100% of streaming, but it takes a 20% commission on social media and YouTube.
4. Amuse
It started life as an app and is still very mobile-focused. With a subscription you keep 100%, but if you stop paying it starts charging a 25% commission.
5. CD Baby
It charges a one-off fee per release instead of a subscription, in exchange for keeping a share of your income (you take home 91%). It can suit you if you release very few songs a year.
6. RouteNote
Its free option is the best known: you pay nothing, but you keep 85%. It also has a premium option per release so you keep 100%. If the free route appeals to you, we explain it in free music distribution.
How to choose the best distributor for you
Beyond price, ask yourself these questions before deciding:
- What happens to my music if I stop paying? It is the question fewest people ask and the one that causes the most headaches.
- How long does it take to go live? If you want to ride a viral moment or hit a specific date, 24 hours or several days makes all the difference.
- Is there anyone on the other end? A blocked release or a royalties issue gets sorted much faster when you talk to a person.
- What share do I keep on each channel? Look beyond streaming at YouTube, social media and Content ID too.
- Will it help me grow? Playlist pitching, a studio, visual content or campaigns: everything under one roof saves you time and money.
