7. Deezer, Tidal, Amazon and others

What's particular about the other platforms, especially on AI and royalties, and how to make use of a profile on each.

Your distributor delivers to many platforms at once, so there’s no separate paperwork for each. What changes is which rules each one applies, and on some the AI issue already has real consequences.

Deezer

It detects AI-generated music on its own and tags it. Those tracks stay out of algorithmic recommendations and editorial playlists. In April 2026 it reported that 44% of daily uploads were AI-generated. If you get tagged by mistake, use the music reporting route or your distributor.

Tidal

According to published reports, since July 15, 2026 it labels music generated entirely with AI and doesn’t monetize it. AI-assisted music keeps earning normally, and it says it doesn’t train models on what’s uploaded. Not confirmed in its official announcement: check its site.

Amazon Music

It has Amazon Music for Artists, with a profile and stats. According to a March 2026 overview, it had no detailed public AI policy.

Others you may see

  • Qobuz: aimed at audiophiles, with high resolution.
  • Pandora and SoundExchange: relevant if you have listeners in the United States.
  • Beatport: for electronic music, usually not applicable to rock and metal.
  • Audiomack, Boomplay, Anghami and other regional ones: depend on your audience.

Is it worth enabling them all?

Normally yes: it costs no more and your audience decides where to listen. Check two things: that the distributor doesn’t charge for adding new stores (on DistroKid, Store Maximizer is an extra), and that the song looks right on the biggest ones.

Claims and identification errors

  • Song on another artist’s profile: tell the distributor and the platform.
  • False AI detection: keep your session and recording tracks. They’re your best proof that you made it.
  • Claim on one of your songs: your distributor is usually the first contact.
