About MelodicMind

MelodicMind is an independent publication for working musicians. We cover the three areas that most directly affect indie release strategy: music distribution, music promotion, and Spotify-specific growth.

Every review on this site comes from running actual campaigns or, in the case of distributors, from uploading our own catalog and tracking royalty payouts month over month. We don't accept paid placements and we don't change rankings for partners.

How we make money

MelodicMind earns affiliate commissions from some of the links to services we recommend. That doesn't change our rankings — every editorial decision is made before any affiliate relationship is checked. If a service we cover doesn't have an affiliate program, we still recommend it when it's the right pick.

Editorial standards

We update reviews when prices, features, or platform policies change. Every article shows the date it was last reviewed. If you spot something out of date, email us — we re-test when it matters.
