Catalogue Migration

TRANSFER YOUR
CATALOGUE.

Do you have music scattered across a range of distribution services? It's simple to transfer your existing releases to We Are RGM AND KEEP all your current streaming statistics.

Preserve your playlist placements, algorithmic recommendations, and Spotify save counts. When switching distributors properly with matching metadata and ISRCs, your music transitions with zero downtime.

What you need
  • ASSETS: Your high-resolution audio WAV files (16-bit or 24-bit, 44.1 kHz+) and cover art image files for all tracks and releases you are switching over.
  • ISRCS: The unique song codes from existing singles or albums. If you need help locating these, please email us at support@wearergm.com and our team will help find them for you.
  • ORIGINAL RELEASE DATE: The exact date your recording was originally published to stores (check your release on Apple Music / iTunes if you are unsure of this date).
What you need to do
  1. Sign in to your We Are RGM dashboard and click 'Create New Release'. Choose 're-release of existing single or album' in the first question.
  2. Enter the Original Release Date (check your release on Apple Music or iTunes store if unsure of this date).
  3. On the track upload page, select the option to add your own ISRCs and enter the SAME ISRCs that have been previously issued for your songs. Ensure you do this for ALL tracks that you are switching over.
  4. Submit your release, and we'll do the rest, delivering to all online stores and streaming services worldwide.
  5. IMPORTANT: At this stage of the process, DO NOT REQUEST YOUR PREVIOUS DISTRIBUTOR REMOVE ANY OF YOUR RELEASES.
The switching process & stream preservation

In order to keep your stream counts, the new tracks need to match the old. When the new We Are RGM releases are delivered and processed by Spotify, you will see a '1 more release' icon on the bottom left of your album page on Spotify desktop. This indicates the releases have matched up successfully.

When you see this icon, you can now request takedown / removal of your release with your previous distributor:

  • TuneCore: Request a takedown through your release overview (view TuneCore guide ↗).
  • Ditto Music: Go into your release in your account and click the 'Takedown' option.
  • CD Baby: Cancel distribution through your account portal (view CD Baby guide ↗).
  • DistroKid: Go to the release in your account and click the button 'REMOVE FROM ALL STORES'.

Do not close your account with your previous distributor immediately: Residual royalties from international stores and trailing streams may continue being owed to you for the next 6–12 months.

Email us at support@wearergm.com if you have any questions or would like our team to guide your catalogue migration.
