About SoundExchange

What this route adds to your music strategy
Keep royalty types distinct
Neighbouring rights concern recordings and performers, separate from songwriting and publishing rights.
Document the rights you control.
Maintain ownership, licence scope and recording identifiers so each request can be assessed with the correct context.
Prepare the right content and permissions.
Select SoundExchange at Delivery Options while creating a release. Allot Lines automatically enables its Neighbouring Rights workflow for that selection. Hold the applicable US public performance and broadcast rights.

SoundExchange FAQ
Does distribution guarantee placement or revenue?
No. Delivery, acceptance, catalogue visibility, editorial selection and reported use are different outcomes. Revenue depends on eligible activity and the applicable service agreement.
What if this destination is missing from Delivery Options?
Contact Allot Lines with the release identifier and intended destination. Do not assume a directory entry means every account or recording has access to the route.
How do I add a destination to a release already live?
Edit the release, update Delivery Options and Save & Submit. Then email Allot Lines Support so the additional delivery can be processed.
Plan your next connection.
Prepare the release in Center and check the SoundExchange route. For specialist services or eligibility questions, ask Allot Lines Support.
Availability depends on your rights, territories, account and service acceptance. Directory entries may include infrastructure, protection and historical services as well as music stores. SoundExchange trademarks belong to their respective owners.
