Catalog migration has a reputation for being one of the most stressful parts of switching music distributors. And honestly, it makes sense. Your catalog isn’t just audio files; it’s streams, playlist placements, saves, metadata, and years of listening history. The last thing any artist wants is for their releases to disappear, reset, or show up as duplicates because of a messy transfer. That’s why we created The Ultimate Guide to Catalog Migration, a free resource designed to walk you through the process of moving your music to Symphonic while keeping everything intact…
The Ultimate Guide to Catalog Migration with Symphonic
Catalog migration is the process of moving your releases from one distributor to another while making sure DSPs like Spotify and Apple Music still recognize them as the same tracks. Inside the guide, we break down exactly how to migrate your catalog without disrupting your streaming history, including how to:
- prep your releases and metadata ahead of time
- retain ISRCs and UPCs so streams and playlists carry over
- avoid duplicate releases and mismatched versions
- coordinate takedowns with your previous distributor the right way
- verify everything once your catalog is live
…and that’s just the beginning.
The best part, this guide is completely FREE.
