FAQ
Music Distribution FAQ
These FAQs are designed to handle the “deal-breakers” for Nigerian artists, specifically how they get their money and how they handle local platforms like Boomplay and Audiomack.
A: We recommend submitting your music at least 14 days before your release date to ensure it hits all stores simultaneously. However, songs can often go live on Spotify within 48–72 hours.
A: Never. At Digital Flames, we are your facilitators, not your owners. You retain 100% ownership of your master recordings and your intellectual property.
A: Your earnings accumulate in your distribution dashboard. We help you set up the most efficient withdrawal method for Nigeria, ensuring your USD earnings make it safely to your local or domiciliary account.
A: Yes! We can help you migrate your catalog to our system without losing your stream counts, provided you have your original ISRC codes.
A: DistroKid is one of the fastest distributors globally. Your song can appear on Spotify within 48–72 hours. However, we strictly recommend a 14-day lead time if you want your song to go live on all platforms (including Boomplay and iTunes) at the exact same time.
A: Yes! With our professional setup, we can set a "Global Timed Release" so your song drops at midnight on your chosen date across all time zones.
A: This is the most common question. We use Tipalti (DistroKid’s secure payment processor), which supports payouts to Nigeria via PayPal or Direct Wire Transfer to your Nigerian Domiciliary (USD) account. We help you set this up so your royalties reach you safely.
A: No. You keep 100% of your earnings from streams and sales. Digital Flames Ltd charges a management/setup fee to handle the technical heavy lifting, but your royalties belong entirely to you.
A: Absolutely. We specifically ensure your music is sent to Boomplay (essential for the African market) and use "Audiomack Connect" to sync your releases directly to your Audiomack artist profile.
A: We provide you with the tools to claim your Spotify for Artists and Apple Music for Artists profiles. Once you claim these, you get your verification badge and can see real-time data on who is listening to your music.
A: Yes! You can move your entire catalog to us without losing your stream counts or playlist placements. The key is using your original ISRC codes and matching the metadata exactly. We specialize in these "seamless migrations."
A: You have full control. If you ever need to remove a song from stores, just let us know, and we can process a "takedown" request, which usually takes 1–2 weeks to reflect across all platforms.
A: For cover songs, we have to clear a mechanical license (which we can help with). For samples or "Type Beats," you must have a license from the producer. Stores are very strict—if you don't own the rights, the song will be flagged and removed.
