Distriqa scans local music folders, builds or imports release structures, standardises metadata, checks ISRCs, UPCs, artwork and delivery files, then exports the package your distributor needs. You approve every change before anything is renamed or delivered.
Start with a release you have already assembled, or let Distriqa curate coherent releases from your folders. Both workflows finish with the same distributor-ready delivery package.
Already selected and ordered your tracks? Import the completed structure of a single, EP or album, standardise the metadata, validate identifiers, check credits, run QA, and export the required files - without changing your album.
Point Distriqa at folders of finished masters and it does more than organise them: it curates your back catalogue into coherent releases, grouped by era, scene and theme, as single-artist collections or various-artists compilations. It proposes the track order, flags what needs a decision, and prepares each approved release for delivery, all analysed locally on your computer.
Every release leaves as real, distributor-shaped files. Representative examples of what a delivered package contains.
Proposed releases, track order and suggested metadata can all be edited. Your own credits are never silently overwritten, uncertain information is flagged with its sources, and nothing is renamed, reorganised or delivered without your approval.
Distriqa analyses finished audio and performs file operations locally in your browser. Your masters are never uploaded.
Catch preventable release problems before delivery. Every detected blocker is explained in plain language before export.
Distriqa replaces nothing - it is the preparation step between your finished masters and the distributor you already use.
Distriqa exports into your distributor's required layout. Your specific template is configured with you during beta onboarding.
Covers are generated at delivery spec - 3000 x 3000 px, with album title and artist designed into the artwork. Upload your own finished artwork at no credit cost and it is checked against delivery requirements. Generated covers belong to your label and stay on your computer between sessions.
One quick, clean finished cover. Add another direction for one more credit.
One session returns three different cover concepts - pick the one you want. Three more directions for two more credits.
Scanning, preparation and QA are free. Track credits are used when a release is delivered; artwork credits are used when covers are generated. Start free with 50 track credits, 50 validation credits and 5 artwork credits - enough to deliver a full release, check your metadata, and try both artwork tiers.
A guided pilot for catalogue-scale work: personal onboarding, your distributor template set up with you, a review of your catalogue workflow end to end, and trial credits to take a real batch through delivery.

Founder
Distriqa is built by a working record-label operator, not a generic software vendor - the same release-preparation work, done by hand for years, made repeatable and checkable. During the private beta, every label is onboarded personally. You talk to the person building it.
Release-preparation and metadata QA software for independent record labels. It builds, standardises and verifies release metadata, checks identifiers and artwork, and exports distributor-ready files - for one new single or an entire catalogue.
No. Distriqa prepares releases for the distributor you already have. Keep your distributor; stop preparing releases by hand.
Yes. Bring a pre-arranged single, EP or album and use the metadata tools on their own - you never have to scan an audio folder.
No. Audio scanning, technical analysis, renaming and folder organisation all happen locally in your browser. Your masters are never uploaded. Some optional cloud features process release information such as project metadata and research queries.
Chrome or Edge. Distriqa works directly with music folders on your computer, which currently requires Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge. You can still sign in from another browser, but the local file tools will not be available.
Yes. Every proposal - releases, track order, suggested metadata - can be changed, and you preview filename and folder changes before anything is applied.
One track credit per delivered track, used at delivery. One artwork credit per generated image: a Lite cover is 1 credit, a Pro session (three concepts, pick one) is 2. Scanning, preparation and QA are free. Failed generations are never charged.
Yes - a distributor can reject a release for reasons outside Distriqa's control. Distriqa catches preventable problems and explains every detected blocker before export, but final acceptance rests with your distributor.
Bring finished tracks. Leave with a verified, distributor-ready package, every detected blocker explained before export.
