Replacing Music on Distrokid without Takedown
Here's a nifty trick for replacing music on Distrokid without takedown (or at least no downtime on Spotify):
1. Contact Distrokid support and ask to remove the song ONLY from the Flo store (since no one uses it). Or don't upload to Flo to begin with and you skip having to contact support.
2. Upload the new version of the song with the same title and ISRC. Pick only the Flo store.
3. Once the new release is greenlit on Distrokid, click it and scroll down to "Add to Stores." Add to all stores like Spotify.
4. Check Spotify in a day or two to see that the song now has a "Other releases" menu on the bottom right of the page.
5. Once you see that, it is safe to take down the old version of the song on Distrokid, and the new version will seamlessly take its place.
