I received a Soundrop collaborator invite — what do I do?

  • Updated

If another Soundrop user adds you to a revenue split, Soundrop creates a Collaborator Account for you and sends you an invitation. A Collaborator Account lets you receive your share of the revenue from releases distributed by another Soundrop user.

How to set up your Collaborator Account

When you're added to a revenue split, you'll receive an email from Soundrop containing a temporary password and instructions for accessing your account. Follow the instructions in the email to:

  1. Sign in to Soundrop.
  2. Accept Soundrop's terms and conditions.
  3. Add your payment information under Payment info.

Once your account is set up, you can view the releases you're receiving revenue from under My Music.

What can I do with a Collaborator Account?

A Collaborator Account is designed for receiving revenue from music distributed by someone else. You can use it to:

  • receive your share of revenue;
  • manage your payment information; and
  • view releases you're receiving revenue from.

You can't use a Collaborator Account to upload new releases or edit music distributed by another Soundrop user.

What if I already have another Soundrop account?

If you have more than one Soundrop account, such as a Collaborator Account and a Distribution Account, select Switch Accounts to move between them. Collaborator Accounts display Soundrop beneath the account name on the Switch Accounts page.

What if I want to distribute my own music?

If you only have a Collaborator Account and want to distribute your own music through Soundrop, select Upgrade Account. This creates a separate Distribution Account that you can use to upload and distribute music. You can then switch between your Distribution Account and Collaborator Account.

Do I need to set up payment and tax information?

Yes. Revenue paid through a Collaborator Account is subject to the same applicable payment requirements, fees, and tax withholding as revenue paid through a Distribution Account. Make sure your payment and tax information is complete so Soundrop can pay your share of the revenue. See: How and when do I get paid by Soundrop?
