After TuneCoreUpdated July 2026

The song is live.
Nobody heard it yet.

TuneCore did its job: your song is in the stores. Distribution is not promotion. Symphony is the roster of AI agents that runs what happens next.

Where TuneCore stops

TuneCore is one of the longest-running independent distributors: unlimited plans from about $22.99 a year with 100% royalty retention, wide store coverage, and optional publishing administration (as of 2026).

TuneCore delivers the song and collects the royalties that exist. It does not create them. The plan, the campaigns, the fan relationships, and the release discipline all live outside the distributor.

Distribution puts it in the store. Promotion gets it heard.

Maude reads TuneCore statements natively, including publishing admin exports, and reconciles them against your splits.

The play, step by step

Five agents. One brief.

    TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook. Daily pacing, creative rotation, and an 8am recap of what moved.

    Echo builds the fanbase

    She maps who is listening, saves your superfans, and writes the email and SMS that keep them.

  5. 05

    Maude reads the money

    When the statements arrive, she reconciles them against your splits and flags what looks off.

Questions

Does Symphony replace TuneCore?

No. TuneCore is distribution; Symphony is the marketing and operations team around the release. Keep your distributor, add the roster.

I released a song on TuneCore. How do I promote it?

One brief to Maestro starts the plan. Cue builds the link-in-bio with pre-saves, Simmy runs TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and Spotify campaigns, and Echo turns listeners into a fan list you own. First 200 credits are free.
