What it does

Hours of release administration, one controlled workflow

Distriqa prepares and quality-checks release metadata end to end: it organises releases, assigns or validates ISRCs and catalogue numbers, researches and verifies credits, and builds the distributor-ready sheet, formatted to Apple Music Style Guide conventions. For a brand-new single or a thousand-track catalogue.

Curation, not a dumping ground

Point Distriqa at a folder of recordings and it builds coherent releases, grouped by era, scene and repertoire. Never themed by tempo, never padded with filler. Anything it cannot place with confidence is set aside for your review, never invented.

Single artist or various artists. You set the album length and count.
Midnight in Memphis11 tracks
Territory Bands, 1928 - 19349 tracks
After Hours at the Spotlite10 tracks

Composers, sourced and verified

Writer credits are the field distributors reject most. Distriqa researches missing or uncertain composer and lyricist credits against a catalogue of 95,000 works and grounded web sources, agreeing two independent sources before it fills a field, and citing where each name came from. Anything weak is flagged for your review, never guessed.

Two-source agreement required. Cite or demote.

85 rules, then a distributor-ready package

Every release runs a full QA pass: identifiers, artwork, metadata and format. The verdict is explicit, and every blocker is named in plain language before you ship. When it reads Export-ready, Distriqa packages the release in the layout your distributor requires, codes, sheet and audio together.
