Awesome service. Is there any chance of having a song rejected? If so, on what basis? I'm all for services that make it easier to get onto these services, but as the price gets…
RileyJames on HNGreat concept. I will check this out for sure.
timthimmaiah on HNI'm super intrigued, but given the services that are available to indie artists today... this sounds too good to be true. What's the catch?

Do Spotify and iTunes have final approval, or does DistroKid?

Great to know. I was more wondering if spotify/itunes and other services have a say in what get onto their service? Or is your service the final approval step?

I have released some songs on Bandcamp. What are the benefits to being in a large marketplace like iTunes? I am very intrigued with Spotify being in the mix. Keep up the good work.
